Retreats in 2010

The 2010 RETREATS provide a variety of opportunities to treat yourself and get away.  Look for Weekend Retreats, Series Retreats, Day Retreats, and Special Collections. 

Remember, you can also contact me to create a custom retreat for you!

2010 Weekend Retreats

       My love for bringing groups together led to the idea of developing a container of  retreat series.   There are several advantages to attending a retreat series, especially if those retreats are considered "play".   An early mentor of mine, Barbara Brannen, says that "play is something that gives life a sharper focus' and "intense creativity is actually one form of play".   According to child psychologists, group play activities provide a learning experience.   If you have ever said to yourself, "I am not creative" or "I don't have the time to be creative",  come PLAY with other fabulous women in the first series of 2010.

Ingenious and Productive Women Thursdays, January 14 - February 11 6-8p Dinner provided Sign up by January 5 as attendees are limited to 10 $165/person includes supplies

This series is specifically designed for the professional woman to re-energize passion for work through creativity, self reflection, and rest and renewal.
