The Women's Retreat
Be Inspired to Connect with Yourself

A weekend just for you: to relax, rejuvenate and energize yourself. A weekend of self-discovery, to spark your creative impulse, to move forward in your life towards well-being on all levels.

A weekend to create possibilities, imagination, insights and a focused plan of action.

with Anne Bourke and Elizabeth Skronski

Anne, a psychotherapist, counsellor and spiritual teacher and Elizabeth, an executive and personal coach and spiritual mentor combine their years of learning and experience to present a profoundly empowering and inspiring group experience. Through a perfect combination of activities that connect your mind, body and spirit, Anne and Elizabeth guide you on a journey to well-being.

What Makes the Group Experience Empowering?
   
  Participating with a group of women, gathered to connect and share with the common purpose of examining choices, expanding feelings of fulfillment and well-being, promotes a strong energy. This encourages you to access deep insights, feelings, and a sense of who you really are and what you need to live your life in a heart-centred, healthy state of well-being.

The power of this positive energy can be life changing, giving you the vision and purpose to strive for a meaningful life and make each day a celebration of living!

    April 2006 Retreat

    In the beautiful spring setting of Mysthaven, The Sisters in Spirit Retreat spent the weekend of April 16, 17 and 18th in personal renewal, exploring their own enrichment in mind, body and soul practices.

    In group discussion, private reflection and creative activities, participants learned and strengthened their energy centres or chakas by releasing blocks and restoring balance and well-being.

    Mia Laakso from The Academy of Spirited Moves, incorporated the chakra balancing theme in the yoga postures and Nia dances.

    We pampered ourselves in a spa evening with lovely creams and footbaths brought by Joyce, one of the participants.

    The weather was spectacular so we had an evening campfire, soaked in the hot tub and took long walks around the extensive property and spent time in the sun journaling and connecting with other lively women.

    Several participants expressed their thoughts about the weekend:
       
      Elizabeth and Anne continue to show their dedication to others by selflessly devoting their time to the retreat to make it the rewarding experience that it was for me both times that I joined them.  The varied activities help you explore your inner self, and the support of the group was great. I would recommend this retreat to anyone who is looking to get re-inspired".
    -- Joyce Hansen

    Wonderful weekend!  The Chakra exercises and mutual sharing and participation were awesome.   And, oh, what an experience finding out what I took on from my Mother I can now release!  Glory Be!  The Chakra theme is a fantastic one that I think would be useful to do on a regular basis.  It touches all at all our levels and is very powerful.  Thanks.  Congratulations!.

    November 2005 Retreat:
    In the words of the participants, our retreat of November 2005 was a gift and a truly unique experience. A thought-provoking week-end full of self-awareness understanding, fun and exploration all in a safe haven. Many women left the week-end re-energized ready to take the next step.

    We were also very privileged to host the TWDD meditation North American Premiere. Read more about TWDD meditation

    We were also privileged to be part of the launch of The Academy of Spirited Moves with owner and certified Yoga and Nia instructor Mia Laakso bringing well-being to the group through Yoga and Nia classes

    Read on some of the testimonials from the participant.
       
      “ For me the "Women's Retreat" in November 2005 was a gift and a truly unique experience. Annie, with her warm and gentle energy has the gift to allow you to explore inside with ease and comfort.  Elizabeth's insights and introspection helped me piece together and illuminate things that I needed clarity with.  This was the true beginning of a healing process!

    The more you allow for the experience the greater the reward. Both the individual session and group experience were insightful, moving, and emotional. I recommended this retreat to all my friends!  “
    -- Anita Morrow, Lake Ontario Marathon Swimmer www.swimofhope.ca

    “ I think being younger and going through these processes will help me with major decisions that I have to make. I think many people around my age (24) would benefit tremendously from this type of self-reflection – I know I did! It helps in all areas of life such as career, personal development and relationships. I feel like taking this time is really proactive”

    “ Elizabeth and Anne created a safe haven to explore our inner selves through innovative, fun, and though-provoking exercices. I came away formulating “the next step” with an enthusiasm and burning desire to put the plan in action”
    -- Joyce Hansen, President Class Act Connections

    “ Even when you think you know it all <g> you will learn so much more about yourself becoming more self-aware!”
    -- Pat Milland, Going Beyond

    “ This was a time to get in touch with me, inside. A week-end of understanding limitations and learning how to get past them”
    -- Mia :Laakso, owner The Academy of Spirited Moves
