We can easily lose ourselves in a world of obligations, expectations, and roles. We wonder: Who am I? What matters most to me? What am I here to do, to create? Who do I want to be? And, what gifts do I bring to the world?
We push to care for others, to fulfill expectations, perhaps giving beyond our reserves, and we find ourselves feeling worn out, drained, and depleted. We know we need to find a way to nourish and care for ourselves.
Retreat offers a time to replenish so that we are better able to show up to the people and responsibilities in our lives. It gives us time to honor ourselves deeply within the power of a circle of like-minded women.
In this wonderfully relaxing and fulfilling retreat, we will:
- slow down, quiet down, and tune in to connect with our inner wisdom and guidance
- be with life as it is right now, in this moment
- have space for reflection, rest, and renewal
- cultivate a foundation of self-care, self-compassion, and self-honoring
- strengthen the ground we stand on as we discover the peace, power, and joy that is available in an authentically-lived life
Note: Each participant will receive a copy of Barb’s book, 111 Invitations: Step into the Full Richness of Life, which will be one resource we will use during this time of inquiry, exploration, and discovery.
Please bring a journal and pen, dress comfortably in layers, and bring whatever else will make you comfortable during our weekend.
The schedule will allow for several hours of time on Saturday afternoon when you are free to deepen your connection with yourself in your own way (a number of suggested possibilities will be offered). You may choose to schedule a healing session, to take a hike or a nap during this time. Or you may want to bring along some supplies for your own creating, drawing, writing, reading, meditating… anything that will support you in slowing down and going within.
Weather permitting, we will have a campfire on one of our evenings together.
Here’s what others have said about Barb’s retreats:
“I love going to retreats because they’re a way for me to get back to what’s important—me. It’s a time for me to leave work at work and home at home and just simply be and reconnect with myself. A chance to really listen to what my inner voice is telling me, to nurture my soul and my body with rest and renewal. It’s a moment in time for me to take care of myself and to let go and enjoy the unique energy that’s created when a group of beautiful like-minded women connect authentically, heart to heart. Barb creates a beautiful and safe place for me to do all of this.”
—Kristin Conway
“I cannot tell you how wonderful my experience has been on the women’s retreats I have attended with Barb! To be able to take the time for myself, in a safe place, to reconnect with my genuine self, re-energize and re-empower myself to come back out into this crazy world is a priceless gift!! I am so grateful to Barb for the work she does and the opportunities she creates for women, like me, that need to Retreat, Regroup and then Return.”
