Workshops: "Perspectives on Love"

Each workshop will be co-led by women from different generations and faith traditions. It is our hope that these sessions will enliven and challenge you with respect to the many aspects that make up our feminine selves. Retreat participants are invited to attend 1 or more sessions during the day.

Morning Sessions:

Love Thy Body: This session will explore how we can demonstrate love and honor for our bodies. Our own beliefs, as well as messages received from others, can have powerful influences on our responses to maintainng health and healing. This session seeks to provide tools for examining our spirit-body connection in new nuturing ways!

Love Thy Voice: This session will explore the dynamic interplay between our inside and outside voices. We will engage in a conversation about the promptings of our intuition, emotions and inner voice that lead us to speak our truth in our relationships, vocations, and daily lives. We will also examine how we tune into our inner selves and the forces that threaten to silence us. We invite you to join us for a challenging and inspiring session on loving your voice!

Afternoon Sessions:

Love Thy Spirit: This session will explore the idea of "circular" spirituality that regards both the self and others as sacred beings. You will be invited to reflect on the rhythmic nature life, and the power of "unknowing," that gives space to the divine within.

Love Thy Mind: This session will explore the power of our thoughts and how we may utilize meditative practices and mindful tools to help shape us into strong, authentic women. Th focus of our learning will be based on dealing with our thoughts in a healthy way in order to shape our reality in a positive way.  

Love Thy Sexuality: This session will explore many aspects related to our sexuality as women. The workshop will address the physical, mental, and spiritual components of sexuality in a safe environment. It's going to be open, honest, and will undoubtedly bring a smile to your face!
