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.

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.
