Are you in the New York area?
On September 7-12, 2014 in New York, the Omega Institute is hosting a retreat for women who are currently serving or who have served in the military. This women-only retreat focuses on the unique issues of women’s military service and builds a safe, supportive environment to explore the strengths, resilience, concerns, and vulnerabilities of women who have served.
This 5-day program is free. Tuition, room, and meals are covered for all active or inactive duty military women and veterans. You are only responsible for transportation (see below to apply for transportation stipend).
When: September 7-September 12
Where: Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York
What: A Retreat for Women Serving or Who Have Served in the Military
Led by two military-veterans advocates—Loree K. Sutton and Laurie Leitch, co-directors of Threshold GlobalWorks, along with guest teachers—the retreat provides a variety of experiential activities, including group dialogue, yoga and other restorative health practices, creative expression, and resiliency skill-building training. Along with opportunities to build friendships, share and learn from others, and gain practical tools for thriving, there also will be free time to enjoy the healing Omega campus. All activities are designed to nurture mind, body, and spirit, while also maximizing strength and quality of life.
