Whole Person Retreat 2012
Learn what you can give yourself to feel whole
 
Who am I when I feel whole, free, & fully alive?
 
How do we embrace our strength & power as women?
 
What does nurturing my whole self look like, while also being of service to others?
 
 
In this two-day experiential retreat, women will gather in support of our whole selves, with the purpose of listening, sharing, and exploring what it means to be fully alive in our minds, bodies, and spirits. We will invite revitalizing contemplation, conversation, movement and connection to a community of women. Come prepared to think about the important moments that helped shape you today, explore your deepest desires and think about ways you can re-enter your life with a renewed sense of confidence and gratitude for what is working.
The physical environment of serenity and open space will provide a reflection of the inner peace, subtle inquiry, and freedom that we will co-create during our weekend together. Enjoy delicious organic meals, luxurious accommodations, and the extraordinary setting of Stillheart Institute, nestled in the foothills of Woodside, California.

Testimonials from 2011 Participants:
“ The Whole Person Retreat could not have come at better time for me in my search for a more balanced professional and personal life. From college-age to retired, each participant had something unique to bring to the group. We spent time as a group, time alone, time outside, and time with music. I walked away feeling capable to continue forward on my journey and grateful for the group of supporters I had gained from the day. ”

" The idea of attending the Whole Person Retreat at first terrified me (What if I am not as enlightened as the other attendees?) which is exactly why I knew I should attend.   Upon arrival, I felt immediately in a safe place surrounded by women of all generations and different life experiences - pithy wisdom that seemingly was intended just for me.    Facilitators Johanna Beyer, Eliska Meyers and Lisa Chu, with their palpable compassion and openness, created an environment that encouraged participation, bravery, vulnerability, humor and play.   This is a must attend event, my only regret being that it doesn't occur more frequently.    When women put their heads together, powerful things can happen .
