HOMECOMING: A WOMEN’S RETREAT

Imagine three whole days to yourself this Fall on the shores of a crystal clear lake in Southern Maine - no one to answer to, no one else’s needs to consider but your own, taking your sweet time to do whatever it is your heart desires. Imagine that.
Imagine starting your day by sleeping in or by quietly sipping your coffee in an adirondack chair down by a lake. Imagine the space to hear your own thoughts for the first time in a long time. Or ever. Imagine gathering ten of your closest girlfriends together for the weekend and laughing until your face hurts. Imagine not having to worry about what’s for dinner and having someone else do the cooking for you, filling your soul with goodness and nurturing your body.
Imagine being inspired by the women that gather…or by yourself and the clarity of your own voice. Or both. Imagine taking a deep breath and totally relaxing as you plug back into yourself and what matters.
Homecoming: A Women’s Retreat was designed with women like you in mind. It offers women the chance to come home to themselves - however that looks to you. At Homecoming you get to choose - it’s your time. With enough structure to offer you plenty of options for workshops and gatherings, there is also plenty of space and complete permission to follow your own rhythm and inclinations to create your own experience.
Laugh. Breathe. Do Nothing. Write. Think. Be Still. Get Your Groove On. Fortify. Meditate. Nurture. Dream. Stretch. Explore. Nap. Reflect. Clarify. Connect. Be Alone. Be with Others. Find Your Center - Or Create a New One.
Registration is open now. So gather your friends and make the plans you’ve been thinking about for so long. Or just set a date with yourself. It’s your time. Say ”yes” to you . You’ll be glad you did.
10% of the profits from this retreat will go to benefit the Maine Women’s Fund.

• Friday-Sunday, October 1st-3rd, 2010, Kingsley Pines. FMI and to register, visit Homecoming.
