A woman's retreat is about stepping out of your ordinary existence to listen to and attune to your truest, most authentic self. It is about being self-referenced to become self-restored. It is setting apart time to tend the hearth of your inner life, feed your muse, reclaim your dreams. A place to reaffirm your values by giving yourself permission to do what you need when you need it.
While it is certainly true that you don't have to GO anywhere to have a retreat - some of my most profound retreats have been in my living room - it is one of life's great adventures to visit a retreat center or sacred place. We've assembled a list of retreat centers and spas by state. The difference between the two can be huge. Retreat centers are sometimes spartan with the focus on spiritual work. Spas are often luxurious with the focus on physical wellness and pampering. I've tried to list spas that also put some focus on inner work.
Find a retreat center or spa. Indulge your imagination - and don't keep telling yourself "I could never go there!" Why not? Many retreat centers are inexpensive. Many spas have reasonable day programs. Dare to think that you could treat yourself with this much care!
