Women's Presence From midlife transition to midlife transformationRetreats for Women

Thank you for your interest in Women’s Presence (WP) retreats. Our retreat experience in September was absolutely phenomenal. The program has proven to be right-on-target for midlife women who want to approach the second half of life with more consciousness, intention, presence, and fulfillment; the retreat center is extraordinary; the food nourished the body and the spirit; and the community of women is delicious. We were thrilled to witness the significant shifts experienced by each of the women who were present.

The participant feedback told us that Presence work reaches into the farthest recesses of our souls to reveal the most tender and powerful expressions of our ‘womanly’ spiritual nature. We’ve been asked by 2004 participants to offer a Part II retreat, which has already been scheduled for Fall, 2005. You might want to take a look at some of the participants’ comments at www.womenspresence.com 

It is our pleasure to announce our next Part I retreat.
