Lately, do you feel hurried, out of synch or overcommitted? Do you feel unsettled and yearn to experience more peace in your life? Do you feel as though you’re being called to explore "what’s next" for you—but unable to find the time or energy to devote to doing so? If yes, you’re in good company. More than ever, many of us are feeling overwhelmed, overscheduled, and overtired. It’s a great time to hit the pause button and consider taking a retreat. [more] |
"The conference was incredibly inspiring. I only wish I could attend four times a year to keep the momentum!"

"The annual Conference is empowering. It is incredible to see 5,000 women in the same room interested in personal well-being as well as the well-being of our communities and the world. These women inspire me, and the Conference gives me the momentum I need to move forward."
