~ October 10th ~ Seattle, Washington ~ Women only! ~

ONLY 4 SPOTS LEFT.

• Are you deeply tired?
• Do you wish you had a magic pause button–a way to step out of life and catch your breath?
• Are you a bit frayed from trying to do all that you want to?
• Are you hungry for lightness, play, and even (gasp!) fun?

You’ve heard it a thousand times: self-nurturing helps you handle the challenges of life. You’ll be more patient, more creative, a better boss/parent/friend.

You know what I say? Blah blah blah.

Here’s the truth: being kind to yourself feels better than being mean to yourself.

Being kind to yourself is the best way to remember this is the only life you get. And it’s yours to live, and savor, the way you want to right now.

• Yes, this delicious fun creative mini-retreat will fill you with fresh ideas and energy.
• Yes, you’ll learn easy, cool ways to feel more comfortable, calm and confident no matter what.
• Yes, you’ll gain fresh perspective on stuck places.
• And most certainly you’ll laugh, be in the creative flow, and know that you are not the only one struggling with your challenges.
• All really good and useful, and yet not really the point.

The point is – this is your life.

Do you want to enjoy it or do you want to hustle through it, muttering “When the bathroom is remodeled, when Henry retires, when Sara starts 1st grade, when I finish the project at work, then I will…”

You are the only one who gets to decide.

You don’t have to be a victim of the feverish, frenetic pace of life.

You don’t have to be a victim of your fears and what ifs.

You don’t have to sacrifice your vitality, your imagination and your health to keep up a pace that isn’t sustainable for you.

You don’t have to live five miles ahead of yourself and miss the entire wacky, gorgeous trip.

There is another way.

Lots of other ways.

I want you to experience some of the “other ways” in our one-day mini-retreat.

I want you to experience self-kindness in your bones and in your heart. To dance it alive through your whole body.

Take a day to step outside the rushing stream of your life. Fill it with collaging, journaling, talking, laughter yoga, swooshing and swaying, giggling and creating. Simmer yourself in miracles and the unfolding grace of life directly experienced.

Plus, it’ll be fun!

“This afternoon was so so so amazing and I am processing so many lovely insights and understandings… I loved every second of it and the material is terrific. It was brilliant.” Havi Brooks

That’s called a self-nurturing home run!

Grab it While you Can

I know money is tight.

It is for me, too.

And, as I actively work to transform fear and worry into peace and well being, I find the very best medicine is self-kindness and self-care.

Doh.

I have to remember I am a creator who can move into action and create!

The only way I can remember that, and have the courage to move into action, is when I am practicing and living the attitudes and tools you will learn at this retreat.

“The retreat changed my life. The retreat helped me create that lasting change inside of myself – I found me! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.” Jenn Givler

Here’s my promise

• You will leave feeling kinder toward yourself.
• You will leave with five new ways to return to your self no matter what – to be wholly and truly who you are.
• You’ll laugh hard at least once – probably a bunch of times.
• You’ll feel far less alone.
• You’ll feel your heart soften and your creative juice flow.
• You’ll find at least one new perspective or insight about your life.
• And if you don’t, I’ll give you your money back. Right then, right there. Or later, any time, just email Deb@jenniferlouden.com

What if I pay and later find I can’t come?

Why would you do that?

I know, life gets in the way. So I will refund $75 if you have to cancel UNTIL September 15th and then no refund unless I can fill your spot. In which case I will gladly refund the $75. Well, not gladly rather sadly.

Box lunch, light snacks and water will be served. Please bring your own water bottle. If you have a certain tea you like, bring it and a comfy mug, too.

There will be a gluten free lunch option and gluten free snacks.

And chocolate, of course!

Space limited to 29 women!

“That sweet voice of yours that says “Yes, this is what I really want” is a voice you should follow. Despite any excuses you could come up with or reasons why you feel you can’t or shouldn’t go, take a deep breath, listen to your heart and go. I’ve attended three of Jennifer’s retreats and she provides me with inspiration and wisdom just when I need it most. You don’t need to think about it any longer. Just go.” Lisa Evans
