What are Getaway Weekends for Women?
Getaway Weekends are designed to foster the perfect combination of interesting women, opportunities to network, and exploration of new and important concepts regarding changes we are making and how we “transition” in life. The Getaway Weekends are small with a target of 10 to 12 women, which is optimal for interaction. No doubt you will leave with new friends, new ideas and perspectives, new opportunities, the tools to move forward, and a renewed appreciation for the benefits of getting away. All of this is coupled with fun, fresh food and good wine, and outings to favorite local attractions and hang outs.
What are the topics that are discussed?
Each Getaway Weekend is customized according to what is most requested by the participants. Sessions are structured as presentations or facilitated discussions. There are some readings and assignments to complete before the weekend and an action plan is created to take away with you.
Recent topics include:
- Are you making changes and choices in the role of “work” in your life?
- Are you in “transition?” Shifting into a new chapter as you change jobs or careers, become an empty nester, move to a new community, care for children and/or parents?
- If you had more time, what would you do with it?
- Would you like to better understand and use online professional and social networking tools?
What are some of the additional activities?
- Hike trails to enjoy water views, woods, wild life and birds
- Take photographs
- Explore nearby art galleries, boutiques, cafes and hear some live music
- Kick back and take in the views with a good book and/or a glass of wine
- Practice yoga and enjoy a massage
