A Retreat for senior women
Leaving A Legacy: Confident Words from Wise Women 

Our wisdom is our real legacy, and this retreat helps individuals and communities of women capture some of it in print and in pictures.  

This is a two-day retreat for mature women where each participant will be guided through     an appreciative review of their life, using journaling, ritual, and music to help them claim          the breadth and depth of their amazing lives and synthesis their experiences and knowledge into a one-page document of wisdom statements.  This work prepares the participants           for their portrait session with a professional photographer to capture their unique beauty in   a photograph to be included with the printed message.

2-day Retreat
Date: TBD, 2023
 Registration Fee: $ 

(Includes guidance to write your wisdom message and a beautiful 8 x 10 color portrait print with your personal wisdom message)
