Spring Renewal Weekend:  
A Women’s Retreat to Nurture Body, Mind, and Spirit  (Dates TBA - Spring, 2009)


Each of us was born a gift to this world, full of ideas, actions, passion, and presence that makes our lives important and unique. Yet sometimes the twists and turns of life slow us down – we find ourselves detoured, distracted, resigned, tired, fearful…forgetting the brilliance which lives within each and every one of us.  It's time to find it again, in the company of other wonderful women – to ignite the dreams and ideas which have been set aside and infuse them with new energy, intention, and actions.

How many of us support and nurture those in our lives with complete confidence and commitment, yet find it hard to empower our own dreams with the same devotion? Women today work not only the ‘second shift’ but often a third or fourth shift, too. We care for our spouses, our children, our parents, our friends, our sweet animals. We run our own businesses, we chronicle our family’s activities, we work to stay healthy, we volunteer. It sometimes seems that the pace never lightens – there’s little light at the end of the tunnel.

We’re often called upon to have almost super-human resilience, to never need anything for ourselves. But a part of us knows when we are on the edge of our resources and need to replenish. We’re edgy, impatient, moody; we’re frustrated by small things and find our sense of humor diminishing or turning dark. It’s these moments when we most need to listen to ourselves. We give best when you have something to give; let’s refill the well that has been over-drawn upon for some time now.   Let’s rest.  Let’s try something NEW.   Let’s look at the challenges and opportunities of our life with new eyes.  Let’s let go of the hesitation which holds us back and step forward with excitement, clarity, and a PLAN.

Let’s gather with other powerful, inspiring women and find the time, energy, and resources to make your dreams come to LIFE.  This can be the weekend that begins it all for you…the time when everything starts shifting toward a more fulfilling, thrilling direction.  Changes you’ve wanted to create for a long time will beautifully, gracefully, begin taking place.  And you’ll somehow find yourself remembering your own brilliance again.

Starting on a Thursday night, we'll gather at an amazing property in the mountains above Park City, Utah, to recenter and nurture our minds, bodies, and spirits. We’ll spend time each day alternating between large and small group formats and time ‘off’ alone to complete individual exercises or just take some time to rest and relax in this stunning estate high above the Jordanelle reservoir.

• writing exercises
