 ”Would you be willing to spend 52 hours to make the  REST OF YOUR LIFE  better?”

 

Want to feel excited and passionate about life again?  Need to reconnect with who you are as a woman?  Ready to take some time to unplug and remember who you are?

 

Date:  Monday morning, 10:28 am

From:  Kim  

Hi there!  It’s so easy to lose sight of our true selves.  First, we’re somebody’s daughter.  Then we become someone’s wife, and finally, we’re someone’s mom!  It’s easy to identify ourselves with all kinds of externals – we’re a mom, a boss, an employee, a wife, a cook, a teacher, a taxi service, a nurturer, a disciplinarian – no wonder we can’t remember who we REALLY are!
 

The Problem Isn’t You!  The Problem is not enough YOU!
With so many things shouting for our attention – work, meals, homework, bills, kids’ activities, emails, voicemails, lunches, dr. appointments  – it can be a challenge to really remember who we are.  When do you take time to play and have fun, especially with other women?  Where’s the space in your days for quiet time and reflection?  When was the last time you were really pushed beyond your comfortable boundaries to access a part of you deep within?  (Heck, when was the last time you just took a nap?  Or an afternoon for yourself?)  

If you don’t take time to nurture yourself and be the best woman you can be – everyone suffers.  Your career suffers, your children suffer, your relationships suffer – and most importantly, YOU suffer.  You end up living a life of ‘quiet desperation’ rather than one full of joy and laughter and fun and satisfaction.  

But when you do take the time to reconnect with you, you’ll:  

·        Be more centered and confident

·        Remember your authentic joy

·        Tap into your power as a woman

·        Know you can Have it All!

·        Live the life you love and love the life you live! 

So Where Do You Go to Find Yourself? 

Sounds like a heavy question doesn’t it?  Relax.  It’s not that hard.  You simply go within!  

Not sure how to do that?  Well, we are!  You’ll go with two very different, highly trained women who can take you there – joyfully, painlessly and quickly! 

Our Weekend Retreat, Women on the Water:  
Play ♥ Laugh ♥ Remember is the perfect get away to reconnect with your passion, your joy and your fun!
 

Women on the Water

Play ♥ Laugh ♥ Remember

It all started back about 10 years ago………..  

I was the crazy, busy harried mom of four at that time (I’ve since added one more to the clan!)  I knew I needed to make some changes but I wasn’t sure how.  You know how they say that when the student is ready the teacher appears?  Well, Kayse showed up … and we were students together!  And we did it laughing all the way.  

We bring two unique perspectives to the same issues.  We are the yin and the yang.  The A and the Z.  The ice cream and the cone!  We cover all the bases to give you a completely unique experience.  We’ve designed it that way.  

Come on.  Let me bend your ear and tell you what you’ll experience.  I don’t want to ruin the surprise of it, so I’m not going to tell you ‘what’ you’ll be doing, just ‘what’ you’ll experience!  If that speaks to you – then give us 52 hours and we’ll change your life – for the BETTER!

Here’s WHAT you’ll experience: 

Total Peace:  You’ll completely unplug from cell phones, emails, responsibilities and demands.  This is your time for YOU!  No external distractions.  YOU are the focus!  We’ve taken care of all the details – you just show up with an open mind and an open heart!  

Friendship:  You’ll completely connect on a soul level with other women.  This is about being real and being raw!  We’ll get to the core of your being, and then we’ll go deeper!  You will make lifetime friends here. 

Good Food!  We’ve got an on-site gourmet chef who’ll create healthy, organic meals – all prepared just for you!  Green smoothies in the morning, fresh, light lunches and dinners that are fit for the queen you are!  The food’s outrageous! 

FUN:  You’ll remember how to laugh and play and be silly (yes, you!)  (You’ll laugh so hard your sides will hurt.)  (We’ve even had women pee their pants they laugh so hard.) This is some good, down right fun!
 
Practical Insights:  You’ll learn simple changes you can easily integrate into your life at home to make your days more balanced, and more fun!  

Healing:  (If you’ve not experienced the healing waters of Lake Ouachita, you are in for the treat of your life!  And if you have, you’ve not experienced it with a group of fun, silly and loving kindred spirits!)  

Awakening:  You’ll give yourself permission to be more of who you are!  (We’ll touch places deep within that have been begging to be heard!)  

Consciousness:  (You’ll stay at a green, eco-friendly retreat center designed for peace and quiet.)  You’ll be healing mother earth as you heal yourself!  We’ll leave the place where we stay better than we found it.  

Passion:  You’ll learn to live passionately and with excitement again.  (We’ll wake up parts of you that may have been sleeping for a while.)  

Heart Opening:  You’ll open your heart for more love – both giving it and receiving it.  (You will go home with your heart open so wide that love will just be oozing from you!)  

Peaceful Sleep:   You’ll sleep in a tent!  If you’ve never experienced sleeping in the great outdoors (or it's been a while!) - you're going to love it.  You’re never going to want to stay in a Hyatt again.  (Well, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but you are going to love this!)  

Inspiration:  You’ll be inspired to live the life you’ve dreamed for yourself!  There is nothing holding you back but you!  (You’ll remember to dream big and claim all life’s gifts!)  

Release:  You’ll clear and release hidden, self sabotaging patterns.  There are subtle ways we block ourselves everyday without even realizing it.  (You’ll let go of all those old patterns!)
 
The most powerful women in the world will tell you it doesn’t take very long to tap into your true essence.  You just need to know how to go there.  And once you do – there’s no going back!  

It’s not hard.  It doesn’t have to be a struggle.  We’ve figured out exactly what you need to experience to open you up to parts of yourself that have been long buried by the cares, concerns and responsibilities of work and mothering.  All you have to do is show up with an open mind and we’ll uncork you so you can begin living a life full of passion and joy and fun.  

This is not a weekend to sit on the sidelines and watch.  This is a full body and soul – play at 100%, give-it-all-you’ve-got two and a half days.  You will be pushed, nurtured, challenged, and loved all the way through it.  

It is an illuminating, life-transforming event that will stay with you for the REST of your LIFE!  

It is the beginning of a new, more joyful, more authentic, happier, more confident YOU!
 
Don’t let this chance pass you by!

Blanc, France and Medjugorje, Bosnia ~ Assisi, Italy.  It will remind you to be true to yourself.
 
So………..I hope I’ve only left you with two questions……
 
What does it cost? 

And……  

Will this really help me? 

Realizing that a weekend women’s retreat normally runs around $2,500 (in fact I attended one last summer that cost me exactly that - $2,500!), we priced this retreat originally at $1,500.  A bargain even at that.  (I must admit I am a huge bargain shopper!  I’ve been known to drive across town to save $2.00 on a container of Tide!)  

But we choose for EVERY woman who wants to join us to be able to attend.  We wanted this affordable for moms especially (Trust me – I know how expensive kids are!)    So we’ve reduced the price to only $699.  Think about it - $699.  That’s about what you’d pay for a new suit, shoes, accessories and lunch out the afternoon you went shopping for it!  (Or…it’s what you spend on your kids for dance and cheer, soccer, tennis, etc. – in just a few months!)  It’s time to re-invest in yourself!  

Hmm…52 hours to transform your life from where it is now to exciting, joy-full, fun and balanced…...  

52 hours to connect with nature, other powerful women…..and yourself.  You are only 52 hours and $699 away from re-connecting with who you TRULY ARE!

Here’s what you get for $699:
    * From Friday at noon to Sunday at 4:00 PM – you’re growth, joy and fun will be the focus of the entire Women on the Water Retreat Team.  

    * You’ll be fed gourmet, organic, healthy vegetarian meals and snacks starting with Friday’s dinner and ending with Sunday’s lunch.  The food is outrageous!  

    * You’ll get to sleep outdoors!  This is way cool.  As you lay there under the stars, you’ll connect with the spirit of all the women before you – your ancestors, the lineage of women of have walked in your shoes (moccasins, not high heels).  You’re going to want one to go home and set up a tent in your backyard!  

    * You’ll have one life changing experience after another!  Priceless!  We’ve chosen not to disclose the fun here, so you’ll have no preconceived notions.  We choose to let the mystery draw you in ….Just trust me when I say – you’re about to have your world rocked! 

    * An All-Inclusive Experience:  We provide everything!  All you’ve got to do is bring yourself!  If we packaged everything you’re going to experience separately, they would cost you well over $2,500!  (This is the Club Med of Personal Growth!)

Play ♥ Laugh ♥ Remember  is for you!
