The Power of Self-Care Retreat

Strengthen your spiritual core while exploring the power of self-care. This retreat invites you on a journey to a greater sense of purpose and self-worth. Using Women Writing for (a) Change® circle practices, we will focus on writing both as a means of discovery and affirmation of who we, as individuals, truly are. Join us as we learn to locate the sacred in all that life brings.

The art of self-care requires a balance of being and doing, and the ability to love and value ourselves enough to care for the person that we are. Using the Wellness 360 wheel, you will identify what areas of your life that are out of balance and discover creative ways to cultivate a healthy, balanced, lifestyle.

Each morning will begin with flow yoga and end with a gentle restorative yoga session. You will have the opportunity to experience chair yoga, a practice that can be woven into your daily life at work and at home. You will also have the opportunity to discover essential oil’s and the healing and restorative power that they hold.

There will be cooking demos with recipes designed to help you save time, save money, and save your life. You will discover fun easy ways to “add in” health and wellness without taking away pleasure.

Experience the Power of Self-Care and allow yourself three-days of restoration and transformation. Through writing, yoga, mindfulness practices, time in nature, and healthy delicious food-- you will connect with your own deeper wisdom and transformative power.

Workshop Topics:

Learning to Love Ourselves

We begin the journey of learning to love ourselves. We shift our focus from our imperfections to the gifts that we have, we make friends with our Inner Critic, and we explore the power of that positive affirmations hold when practiced.

Self Care - Is an Act of Love

We explore ways to create a daily self-care practice that supports our journey. Learning to LOVE ourselves requires practice, and through the power of self-care, our gifts begin to emerge.

What Do Our Stories Have to Say

We looked at the stories we tell about ourselves. Are we allowing our wounds or our gifts to define who we are, and how might we reframe our narrative to best reflect the person we are learning to love...?

Living Into Our Dreams

What if our dreams were a journey and not a destination, what would we dream...? We explore how our dreams give meaning and purpose to our lives; and through learning to love ourselves, we allow ourselves to dream... as we carry our light into the world.
