The Spirit of Woman Empowerment Retreats

The Spirit of Woman: A Women’s Empowerment Retreat
with Dr. Judith Rich


We all know there’s a beautiful Goddess buried inside each of us somewhere. All those fairy tales pointed to something…… the lovely princess “in waiting”; waiting for a curse to be removed, waiting for the handsome prince to find her, waiting for permission to reveal her True Self.

Well, hello Goddess! The time for waiting is over! It is time to reclaim your magnificence, beauty and power. The Divine Feminine is re-emerging in the world and she is US! She is seeking expression through each one of us. Through Her sacred ways, She teaches us to honor our True Nature, She binds our wounds and leads us to the river of our soul’s home. Through Her sacred ways, She ignites the fire of our creative spirit and unleashes the passion of our imaginations. We learn to honor and celebrate ourselves from a place of wholeness, finding comfort in the peaceful places within. We learn to love the women we’ve become!

We invite you to join our 4th Spirit of Woman retreat, April 27-29, 2007, held in a beautiful lodge in the mountains outside of Las Vegas, NV. This divine, experiential weekend offers an opportunity to step out of ordinary time, get off the wheel of your everyday life and explore what it means to know and honor your beloved, sacred-Feminine Self. Through ceremony and ritual, movement, dance, meditation and silence, journaling and creative expression, you will:

• Discover the sanctuary of your own inner sacred space.
• Rekindle the fire of your Feminine power.
• Take a radical leap into self-love and self-care.
• Celebrate your wisdom; honor your beauty.
• Unleash your creativity; embody your prayers.
• Experience the power of women in community.
