The Integration Institute presents
Your compassionate heart and your business head, back in alignment.
Three days in the mountains above Park City for women who give everything to this work — and have quietly run out of room for themselves.
By application, so the room is right. Applying commits you to nothing — it just opens the door.
- Food
- Lodging
- Activities
- Swag
All of it included. You just get yourself to Park City.
You know this feeling
Somewhere along the way, you started giving more to this work than you get back from it.
You know the Sunday-night feeling. The weekend is almost gone, and something in your chest tightens — because Monday means the inbox again, and the schedule, and the person who is going to ask for something you're not sure you have left.
You're good at this. That has never been the problem. You got into this work because you care about people, and you still do. But nobody ever taught you the rest of it, so you've been running on care alone — through the clinical work, the hard conversations, the schedule, the money, and the people who depend on you.
So you keep the schedule full because you're not sure where the next client comes from. You give the raise when it's asked for, even when the math doesn't quite work. You pay everyone before yourself. You keep pushing rest to later, and later never comes.
Nobody can run a business on compassion alone. Nobody taught you the other half, and you can learn it without caring one bit less. That's what these three days are for.
What re-integrating means
Two halves of you that were never meant to work against each other.
The heart
Why you started
The compassion, the clinical instinct, the reason people trust you with the hardest thing in their life. It's the best of you, and it's also why you say yes until there's nothing left.
The head
What keeps it alive
The numbers, the boundaries, the pricing, the structure. Get this half right and you're still doing this work in ten years, and still glad you are.
Three days to put them back in the same room — and build a way of working that holds both.
What the days look like
Real teaching in the mornings. Real rest in the afternoons. On purpose.
You go home from a long conference, and you're more tired than when you came. These three days balance learning and business building with recharging and building a new support system, so you drive home back in alignment. The relaxing afternoons are where most of the recharging happens.
Friday evening
Arrive and land
Wrap up your usual Friday, then drive up — the literal move toward calm and connection. You put your bag down, and we open with a long dinner and an honest circle. No performing how fine everything is.
Saturday
The honest look
What burnout is actually doing in your body and your practice, named with the same clinical clarity you would give a client and never give yourself. Including the ethics of running on empty. Then the afternoon is yours.
Sunday
Build what holds you
Caseload, boundaries, and pricing you can live with. Supervision that doesn't drain you. Plus an open floor to ask anything about the business side — starting, structuring, growing, even selling.
Monday morning
Go home different
A slow breakfast, a closing circle, and one honest next move you actually intend to make. We wrap around noon — plus a small group of women who will check on whether you made it.
What we'll actually talk about
Things I've learned that you may never have heard.
There's real rest in these three days, and there's real work. Here's some of what we'll get into.
- Keeping the people you already haveHow to hold onto the clients who found you and the staff you spent years training. It costs a lot less to keep someone than to replace them, and almost nobody teaches that part.
- Income you may not know aboutThere are more ways to bring money into a practice than most of us were ever taught. I'll walk you through the ones that actually work.
- What to build besides more hoursProducts and programs you can add so your income isn't tied only to how many clients you can see — and which ones are worth the work.
- Not getting knocked aroundHow to build a practice that holds steady when reimbursement, regulation, and referral patterns change. Because they will.
- Where things actually standAn honest look at how practices are doing right now, and what the numbers show about where private practice is heading.
- Where you want to goThe conversation I most want to have. Your actual plan, out loud, in a room of women with giant dreams who will take yours seriously.
What the afternoons look like
The recharging is on the schedule too.
Planned, paid for, and yours to opt out of any time you'd rather nap.
A massage, in the house
Therapists come to us, so nobody drives anywhere or books anything. Everyone gets a full hour, and the only thing on your list that afternoon is letting someone take care of you.
Kintsugi, and a few other things
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of mending broken pottery with gold, so the repair becomes the most beautiful part of the piece. You'll mend something and carry it home. Yes, the metaphor is literal. We're doing it anyway. Mosaic, shadow boxes, and wish keychains will be on the table too.
A hike, in silence
A walk in the fall air under a vow of silence. No small talk, no one needing anything from you, and a little room to hear yourself think.
And any afternoon you'd rather take the hot tub, the fire, a book, or a nap, that's a perfectly good answer too.
What is included
You get yourself to Park City. Everything after that is handled.
Food, lodging, activities, and swag are all in the price. Once you park the car, you're not paying for another thing.
-
Your own bed, every nightThree nights in a cabin-themed retreat at the Miner's Club Resort at The Canyons, above Park City. Rooms are shared, two women to a room. Nobody shares a bed. If you have a preference about who you're paired with, tell me on your call.
-
Every meal, from your favorite morning drinks to a dinner out togetherSomeone else plans it, someone else cooks it, someone else cleans it up. For three days you're the one being taken care of.
-
Every activity, planned and paid forYour massage, the kintsugi and craft table, the silent hike, movie night by the fire, and our dinner out. Nothing to organize and nothing extra to pay for once you arrive.
-
A welcome kit that's yours to keepWaiting in your room when you get there — a few good things chosen for this weekend, and something to take home with you.
-
Every session led by Tracie, in a room of sevenSmall enough that I can teach to what you actually walked in with. There's no stage and no back row.
-
10 live CEUs toward your licenseIncluding ethics and supervision — the categories that are hardest to find and easiest to put off. Professional development you can expense, in a place you actually want to be.
-
An open business Q&A with nothing off limitsAsk what you've been too busy or too unsure to ask — starting, structuring, hiring, pricing, growing, even selling — from someone who has done all of it.
-
Afternoons that belong to youThe hot tub, a hike, the fire, a nap, or a quiet walk-and-talk with Tracie if you want one. Rest is on the schedule.
-
Six women who will still be there in JanuaryMost women say the group is what they came for, once they get home and the real week starts again.
-
Three group calls after you get homeDecember, February, and April. An hour each, the same seven women, on video. Going back to real life is where all of this gets tested, so we get back on the call and work through what is actually happening.
Who is in the room
Seven women who are good at this work and running low.
Practice owners carrying the whole thing, and clinicians, associates, and supervisees carrying a full caseload with no real off switch. Whether or not you own it, the ache is the same — and the fix has the same two halves.
You're proud of what you've built or what you're building, and you'd still like it to stop costing quite this much.
You avoid looking at your own numbers, and you've got a quiet feeling that avoiding them is part of the problem.
You say yes because no feels dangerous — to the client, to the team, to the person who needs you.
You need CE hours anyway, and the thought of another hotel ballroom makes you tired before you get there.
It's women only, on purpose. Some things get said in a room of women that don't get said otherwise, and nobody should spend three days managing how she shows up.
Who is holding the room
Tracie Penunuri, LCSW
The short version
Licensed clinical social worker and a Utah state-approved clinical supervisor. BSW and a clinically-focused MSW. Former adjunct professor at the University of Utah, and a contributing author of Evidence-Based Psychotherapy with Adolescents: A Primer for New Clinicians. Bilingual in English and Spanish. I built a behavioral health practice from just me to a full team over more than a decade, and then I sold it — while raising five children, one with significant medical needs.
How I work
My clinical training is why I can sit with how heavy this has gotten and then look at your numbers with you in the same afternoon. You can cry about it, you can be furious about it, you can celebrate something small — I'll stay right there with you, and then we get practical.
I spent real money on coaches who handed me a good idea and left me the implementation, the risk, and the outcome. I do this the other way. I stay in it with you, as your guide and your loudest cheerleader.
What I want for you
Real, structured support — an actual plan you can use on Tuesday — built somewhere you genuinely enjoyed being. Good food, a fire, a hot tub, a hike, and a room of women who understand. Rest and real work in the same weekend, because you won't carry a plan home from a place that wore you out.
There's room at the top for all of us. I'm not your competition. I'm in your corner.
The founding cohort
This is the first one, and the price says so.
Founding investment
Lodging, every meal, every activity, all sessions, your CE hours, and a welcome kit to take home. You cover getting yourself to Park City.
Or split it into two payments of $1,749. Same total, no interest, no fee. We’ll set it up on your call.
Say yes early
Anyone accepted and paid in full — or started on a payment plan — by October 10 gets a 60-minute one-on-one with me after the retreat. Just the two of us, on whatever you’re building.
Don’t let money decide this before we’ve talked. Depending on your situation there may be funding that helps you attend — including a founding scholarship — and I’d love to help connect you to it. Bring it to your call. I’d rather we find out together than have you rule yourself out.
Registration is final once you’re in. If something serious comes up, talk to me — see the cancellation question below.
Applications close Tuesday, September 30. Applying takes about five minutes and commits you to nothing. Tracie reads every one herself, and you'll pick a time to talk before anything else happens.
Before you ask
The questions people are already asking.
Why is it an application instead of a checkout?
With seven seats, who is in the room matters more than how many. Applying is how Tracie makes sure the women under that roof are the right seven, and how you get a real conversation before you spend anything. It commits you to nothing.
Will I have my own room?
You'll have your own bed — nobody shares a bed. Rooms are shared, two women to a room. It's a cabin-themed retreat rather than a hotel, and that's part of why the weekend feels the way it does. If you have a preference about who you're paired with, or something that makes sharing hard, tell me on your call and I'll do what I can.
What if I have to cancel?
Seven seats means your seat comes off the table the moment you’re in — your room is held, your food and materials are ordered, and the massage therapists and the person helping me run the weekend are all booked around the number of women coming. Because that’s committed well ahead of time, registration is final and payments are non-refundable, including any remaining installments.
That’s the policy. Here’s the part that matters more to me: if something serious happens — illness, a family emergency, something you couldn’t have planned for — tell me. I’d rather have a real conversation than point you at a rule. Depending on where we are in the calendar we may be able to move what you’ve paid toward a future retreat, or have you send someone in your place. I can’t promise a particular outcome, and I can promise you’ll get me rather than a form letter.
And if I move or cancel the retreat, you choose: a full refund, or your payment moves to the new dates.
Can I apply with a friend?
Yes, and I’d love that. Tell me who she is when you apply and I’ll read your applications together. If the two of you would rather be in the same room, say so and I’ll make that work.
I am not a practice owner. Is this still for me?
Yes. Associates, supervisees, and solo clinicians belong here. The business content runs as one thread through the weekend — in full for the women who want it, lighter for the women who don't. The burnout piece is the same either way.
Will the CE hours count for my license?
You’ll earn 10 live CEUs, including ethics and supervision — earned by being in the room, not by watching a recording afterward. If you’re licensed outside Utah, check acceptance with your own board. Most honor them, and I won’t promise on your board’s behalf.
How much of it is scheduled?
Mornings are teaching. Afternoons are yours. Evenings are food and fire and conversation. You'll leave with a plan and you'll leave rested, which is the whole design.
What does it cost me beyond the price?
Getting yourself to Park City, which is about forty minutes from the Salt Lake City airport. Everything from the moment you arrive is handled — your room, your meals, the sessions, your paperwork.
Is there help with the cost?
Yes, in a few forms. There’s a founding scholarship for this first cohort — one partial seat, awarded by me. If the money is the only thing standing between you and this room, say that on your call and I’ll tell you honestly where things stand.
You can also split the investment into two payments of $1,749, same total, no interest and no fee.
And depending on where you practice and how your practice is set up, there may be other funding you’re eligible for that I can point you toward. That one really does depend on your situation, which is why it belongs in a conversation rather than on a page.
None of this is something to sort out over email. Bring it to the call and we’ll work it out.
Can I write this off?
Quite possibly. For a lot of practice owners, continuing education and professional development are ordinary business expenses, and so is the travel to get to them. Your receipt itemizes the training portion separately so your books have what they need.
I’m not a tax professional, though, and every practice is structured differently — so run it past yours before you count on it.
What if I cannot get away for a long weekend?
The timing was chosen on purpose. We start Friday evening and wrap Monday around noon, so you can see a full day of clients Friday and drive up after. For most women that means one day out of the schedule, not a week. And if this round genuinely isn't your season, apply anyway and say so. There'll be another one, and you'll be first to hear.
You've spent years putting yourself last. This is one small, brave place to stop.
Seven seats. Three days in the mountains. Your license hours handled, your meals handled, and someone taking care of you for a change.
