PEEC Presents: WOMEN LIVING FULLY…INVESTING IN OURSELVES
Oct. 24 – 27 2010
Imagine yourself nestled in beautiful, inspiring surroundings, your only goal to rest and indulge in self discovery. Imagine meeting like-minded women who come prepared to explore the same questions that run through your mind constantly… “Now What?” …“Who Am I?…
“How do I make the most of the life that is ahead of me?” “…What is it to be a true friend – to have a true friend?”…“What matters the most to me at this time in my life?”… “How can I make a difference in the world?”
PEEC (Pocono Environmental Education Center, Dingman’s Ferry, PA www.peec.org) is holding this, their first annual Women’s Retreat, and have invited inspiring authors, experts in their field and other speakers who will gather to explore all of those questions and more.
We all know that our lives and daily choices are best governed by ourmost deeply held values, beliefs and priorities. Yet there is much to distract and dilute even our best of intentions. This glorious three-day women’s retreat offers you the opportunity to reconnect with that which is most important to you and find new ways to live that are reflective of who you are and what your value. This is an experience dedicated to women’s complete well being, both individuallyand collectively.
