Women's Presence

The Transformative Power of Life Transitions

To keep abreast of upcoming retreats, you may register to receive our occasional enewsletters by scrolling to the bottom of this page and filling in the subscription form.

You're experiencing a multitude of edges, where you hear the cacophony of the outer world while the inner voice calls.

At first the outer world may drown out the inner quest. There comes a time when we can no longer push away the hunger. It persists. It must, as this is the calling to our truer nature, to our maturation into our full authority in the second half of life, and to the evolution of our soul.

...and we are propelled toward a deeper experience of wholeness.

Listen to Roxanne and Barbara talk about The Transformative Power of Life Transitions on the radio program, Seeing Beyond, hosted by Bonnie Coleen. (Requires an audio player for mp3.)

ABOUT YOU

You've poured yourself into your role as executive, businesswoman, professional, and/or mother. And you've been successful. Now, your identity and the important roles which have informed your life are changing. As you come face-to-face with this "turning point, you are feeling unsure just where to turn.

You're in new territory.

You're noticing some of the following:

  • changes in your mind and body;
  • a sense of loss;
  • an awakening inner voice that persists;
  • your usual ways of being in the world are just not working for you anymore;
  • a spiritual hunger, a yearning for wholeness and a desire to do something more meaningful with your life;
  • fear of making a change;
  • a sense that there is something else you are being called to--you're just not sure what it is.

Women tend to notice the most significant changes in their 40's, and 50's. However, some women experience these in their 30's and some in their 60's. Whatever your age, if this description fits your experience, then give yourself a gift of this retreat. It will be very nourishing, healing, uplifting, and life-changing.

THE RETREAT

During this retreat, explore the transformative power of the changes you're experiencing in life, and lay the foundation for the next part of life journey.

Re-remember what is Still, Powerful, and Eternal within.

Recognize dimensions of your life that have been hidden to you, both the fertile dark and the magnificent light.

Challenge your perceived limitations and fears and expand into a powerful personal vision.

Awaken to the power of being present in your life.

Be in a community of women committed to their transformation and evolving consciousness.

We will weave presentations, individual and group activities, reflective exercises, and silent times, integrating a variety of modalities to evoke your deepened awareness and support you in realizing your truer nature.

There will be time on your own for hiking, writing, resting, swimming, yoga, and optional massage and energy work.
