Two Day Writing + Wellness Retreat: October 26-27, 2024

9:00-4:00 October 26-27, 2024

Day 1: Writing

• Do you love to write? Or wish you had more time to write?
• Do you think about writing but seldom put pen to paper because you don't know where to start?
• Have you always wanted to write but "not good enough" thoughts pop into your head?
• Do you and your writing need a little nudge because your writing has stalled?

Day 1 of this 2 Day Retreat will get your writing juices flowing with a variety of presenters who know how to give you the nudge you seek. 

This writing workshop is for anyone who wants to write, or thinks about it, or has a story to tell. No experience necessary, just a desire to write.

This first day will get you back in the saddle in a safe, comfortable and judgement free zone. 

Day 2: Wellness + Menopause

Bette Davis famously said, "Old Age Ain't for Sissies."

• Are you in your 40's with pre-menopausal symptoms or just want to learn what is in store for your ever changing body and mind? 
  
• Are you in your 50's and menopause is having its way with you?
• Then, of course, there are the delicious and wacky years of post-menopause, the 60's, and not the one you were born in - post- no one talks about that part of menopause.

As we are blasting through decades, our bodies and minds are doing all kinds of interesting flips and turns. Thoughts on aging, sexual health, vaginal dryness, in the mood, out of the mood, hormones, homronal replacement, relationships, empty nesting, retirement, physical health and mobility, what to eat, what not to eat,  have taken over all topics of conversation.

There is the reverse of the nesting we did in our thirties as we ask ourselves, How did we accumulate so much crap?

Our kids, if we have them, are moving too, maybe they are off to college or have moved out permanently.

Our intimate relationships may have moved on or perhaps they need some juice (literal or figurative) to maintain what is working. 

We are going to cover a lot of ground at this jam packed day filled with expert presenters and will share it whole-heartedly with our open and hungry minds. 

This day is a chance for community with kindred spirits, where we hear from experts and share our own experiences to learn ways to deal with all the shit no one told us about.

What better way to learn and also treat yourself to a day of fabulous conversations with like minded women on many of these topics. 

This all inclusive event will include presentations from experts, mini self care treatments, and food and delights all day in Alayne's Garden and her magic space at 11 Constitution St. in beautiful Bristol, RI. (Make sure you can climb stairs as some of this will take place on the second floor.)

Sign up to reserve your spot before October 1 at this pre-register special price of $475. After Oct 1, price will increase to $575
