Take a "Tour" of a Womanheart® Retreat
Experience Four Days Like No Other! --Page 2

between people who only hours before were strangers to each other. And by the end of the four days many of those bonds have grown so strong they will last a lifetime.

Everyone joins an Angel Group led by staff members. One group is the Morning Wake-up Angels. They rise each morning a little earlier than the others so they can go around to each room, knock on each door and warmly call each one to join in sadhana. Another group is called the Healing Angels. At various times during the day, they offer brief shoulder and neck rubs, or Reiki energy to perk up folks around them.

The Personal Touch Angels do sweet things to lighten each person's day. One group wrote sweet notes and left them at each lunch and dinner place setting as a type of fortune cookie without the cookie!

But the most unusual group of all is the core of volunteers who raise their hands for the challenge of "rewriting women's history". Their challenge may be the most difficult, but perhaps the most rewarding. Gathering after meals and during break-times, they rewrite "Cinderella" to take her away from the co-dependent love script into a truly strong, compassionate, yet conscious young woman. The revolution affects all the characters in the cast. Their Saturday night performance brings much laughter and a lot of head-nodding agreement.

The yoga is simple, easy-to-do and highly effective. Combined with the breathing techniques, it helps everyone increase mental clarity, decrease stress and anxiety, and come to a new experience with their inner strength as powerful women.

The subjects covered in their four-days bring a kaleidoscope of fresh perspectives into the role of women in modern society. Sangeet brings insight into coping with stress and anxiety, ways to gain mental clarity, how to avoid the "falling in love" trap, how to handle the hormonal cycles of women and men (yes they have cycles too!), and how to deal with death and help the soul rise.
