Fall 2024 Retreat
Friday-Sunday, October 18-20
KEYNOTE
Our keynote was the amazing Amy Gonzalez-Nelsen !
Amy is a vibrant, heart-centered Intuitive, Bravery Activator and Speaker.
More than a traditional healer, Amy inspires by effortlessly blending the healing components of energy work, Reiki, NIA, mindfulness and sound healing.
She has been teaching the movement practice of NIA for over 10 years and her personal practice, Conscious Intuitive Movement for 5 years. She has facilitated classes and workshops locally and abroad.
Amy's events, workshops and classes are a multifaceted experience of possibility, empowerment, wonder and Joy. Her magnetic energy and humor offer a tangible approach to healing.
Beyond her movement classes, her passion for the awareness and advocacy of mental wellness for women and children has sparked the movement she calls B.R.A.V.E ON: (Bold, Resilient, Authentic, Vulnerable, Energy).
This uniquely curated energy practice assists you in the ability to connect to your soul, and to step into your BRAVE. It is the one-of-a-kind vibration we each emit that balances out the human and spiritual self.
Connecting to your Brave is the ability to shift perspective with conscious intentional thoughts, to practice life through movement, identify and embody patience with yourself and the world. Finally, embracing purpose - your purpose for the here and now. Brave On is a deep dive into the four pillars of life, our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual self. It is coming to a place of peace.
Above all she shares the importance of collaboration for we are all in this together and we need each other.
That ultimately that being human is by far bravest act of all.
LOCATION
We have a new location this year, Cedar Valley Retreat Center near West Bend, Wisconsin. We hear the food is fabulous and when the Council women visited, it seemed like a cozy and comfortable space.
Cedar Valley is 100 acres of pastoral beauty nestled in the heart of Washington County, just a short drive north of the metro Milwaukee area. Your creative spirit will soar while walking the beautiful trails, or enjoying a sunset. There are abundant indoor and outdoor recreation opportunities. You can attend workshops, enjoy thoughtfully sourced and prepared meals, and simply relax.
Summer 2024 Retreat
We gathered August 9-11 at Ronora Lodge and Retreat Center, Watervliet Michigan. We enjoyed the spacious Cherry Wood House, a new modern, accessible facility!
This weekend "back to the land" on the 400+ acres of woodland and lake within the spirit-filled place called Ronora gave us time to explore, relax, drum, sing and commune with nature and each other.
