“Sometimes the best way to get answers about your life is to simply spend some quiet time alone. Look within and ask yourself some deeper questions. How do you feel? What do you want overall? You know yourself better than anyone. Have faith in your own wisdom.” This is often easier to say than do. Retreat is a wonderful way to get in touch with who you are. To take care of yourself. There was a time in my life when everything I did was for someone else and I found myself coasting on empty. When you get to empty it takes a longer time to fill up your tank. Through the years I have found that my life is smoother when I fill myself up before getting that far away from who I really am. One of the better parts of being more seasoned (older) is that I recognize my needs much sooner than when I was younger. Retreat has filled my tank many times and helped me find the joys in my life.

Stretching Forward April 2019
Nine women attended the April Stretching Forward retreat from Medina, Newark, Avon Lake, North Ridgeville, Bay Village, Ohio and Falls Church, Virginia. The group found serenity and calm, solitude and fellowship. By the end of the weekend, all were ready to stretch forward as they returned to their lives enlightened and joyful for all the possibilities to come.

”I am so amazed at what you have put together. I have never known anyone who has put something together like this. I’m coming back.”
“I feel so fortunate to have been part of this retreat, from spending time in solitude and reflection to the companionship of the new friends I found over these few days together. I hope you continue your mission.”
“This retreat and the learnings have motivated me to work on taking a more active role in enjoying life more.”

Nine Ohio women attended the first Stretching Forward Retreat in September 2018. The weather was brisk and invigorating while the time together was warm and thoughtful. Everyone walked away from the weekend with a specific intention they planned to stretch toward as they re-entered their day to day lives.
Comments included:
”The opportunity to be still and listen to your head and heart is a very powerful experience.”
“It was just what I needed at this time in my life.”
“My ‘take away’ is to embrace the realization that my journey is precious and that retreat is nourishment for the soul.”
