Prepare to Set Sail: Released & Ready!
"High time on the seas! Total group of strangers met under relaxing circumstances and quickly became the best friends. The cruise ship offers something for everyone...from art collecting, to a library, to dancing, imbibing and of course...eating! Our group of instant friends allowed time for personal exploring and also group time. Stroll the deck, peruse the pictures, pose, get in the hot tub, use the gym, go to the spa...but most of all have fun with the coolest group of women on the ship. No drama mama's just fun. If you need down time with a group of classy, zany, free spirited, released women...and want to learn how we got there....join us! We are going with our without you but you need to leave your cares behind and come bond!!" ~Gloria D. |
Before you embark on the Retreat, you'll have an opportunity to begin the process by participating in our Released & Ready calls, strategy info sessions and team-building exercises designed to get you acquainted with the rest of the ladies who will be joining us on this adventure. Because this trip is designed as a continuation and culmination of a process, you'll have plenty of time to get to know the rest of the ladies through a variety of interactive sessions.
Going solo?
Don't worry about attending this Retreat alone. The activities, calls and collaborative-building group will enable you to connect with the other participants long before we set sail. You'll also receive valuable strategies, tips and tools that will help you to begin the process of reconnecting with the woman within and refueling your mind and spirit. In fact, the attendees from last year's retreat had never met each other prior to signing up for this adventure and have since become fast friends and colleagues. Many of them are returning for the second year.
