$45 regular $35 club

Start the year with mindful intention, discussion and support! We’d like you to join us to focus on creating an intention or vision for your year. What will you focus on this year? Prior to the event, we will share 11 days of thought provoking emails with prompts and ideas for you to ponder in advance of the creating process. This will provide you with encouragement as you begin to fine tune your focus and vision for the year. When you come to create and connect, you will have a firm idea of where you are going. A vision isn’t a goal or a resolution, it is a focus or intention for your path in the next year. Your vision can express your focus for the year, things that help you stay centered, qualities you want to develop etc. Your vision is unique to you. We will open the event with a short meditation and discussion, and end our day with time to share our personal visions. Sharing our visions helps us articulate, focus and understand our own hopes and desires. We can’t wait to share a day of visioning our year with all of you.

Love Me! A look at how we can cultivate love and compassion for ourselves, which in turn extends to our loved ones. Cultivating love and compassion for ourselves prepares us to better understand and manage our thoughts and emotions, accept ourselves as we are, and extend empathy to others more fully. Many people in our society have a feeling that they aren’t good enough or are undeserving of the good that comes to them. We will discuss this topic, practice various strategies to cultivate a feeling of self love and compassion. This class will include individual and group coaching, teaching and information to include videos, emails with prompts and homework, and an in person group once a week.

Venture In – Adventure Out: A Retreat Especially for Women

Our personal and professional schedules can be demanding and create the sense that we don’t have time to take care of ourselves. When we do have a moment to breathe, we are bombarded with information so it takes intentional effort to unplug from technology, media, and the noise of the world.

That is why we invite you to join us to: Venture In – Adventure Out: A Retreat designed specifically for Women. Your mind, body, and soul will be fed so that you can be the best version of you in all aspects of your life!

Venture In-You will heighten awareness of how your energy is impacting you and those around you. Not only will you gain clarity, you will have the opportunity to release some clutter that has weighed you down or blocked you from achieving the goals you have in your personal or professional life.

Adventure Out—You will learn the concepts of mindful intention and learn two nature focused mindful practices. Connecting with nature allows us to reconnect to ourselves which readies us for connection with others. We will practice strategies that you can take with you so that your ability to relax, reset and rejuvenate will be strengthened.

We will also feature a hands on creative activity that will provide you with a lasting piece of original artwork to inspire and remind you of what you learn.

We will enjoy a restorative yoga session from Annemarie of Peace, Love, Joy Yoga which will provide reinforcing relaxation strategies you can repeat at home.

You will also have time to connect with others and a delicious and healthy breakfast and lunch.

Join us at Camp on Friday evening to relax around the fire and participate in our Campfire Conversations about life and living. (Eat dinner before you come or bring your meal/snacks along) Lodging will be camp style in cabins and bunk beds. Saturday September 8th will bring breakfast together, followed by a day FULL of relevant and useful information, strategies, fun, time outside, connection with others and an increased sense of well-being.

Details:

Times: Friday September 7th 6:30pm until Saturday September 8th at 5:30pm

Friday September 7th anytime after 6:00pm – sunset is at 7:45 and our Campfire Conversations will begin then – be sure to have eaten dinner or bring your dinner. We will provide campfire snacks.

Saturday: Healthy Breakfast, Lunch and Snacks provided – plan to dress in comfortable clothing that will allow movement, time outside, yoga and possibly slightly messy creativity!

Location: The Falley Scout Reservation near Lake Perry, Kansas that includes bunkhouse lodging in a gorgeous natural setting.

Cost: $300 Special Early Bird Rate $250 through July 1, 2018

You MUST PRE-REGISTER in the Dirty Shop!

“I have a gift for drawing out the strengths and talents of others. It excites me to help people uncover their abilities and realize how to use them in ways they never imagined in their homes, communities and organizations.

I have a heart and passion for people who feel they’re not enough. Maybe they feel they don’t match up to what others want or need them to be. Perhaps they’re wearing masks in different roles like marriage and parenting, or business and leadership. It doesn’t matter what title someone holds, down deep we are all humans experiencing life in the best (or only) way we know how.

It’s my honor to help you uncover what is getting in your way of experiencing life to the fullest – with purpose and freedom.”
