Fall 2018 Women’s Weekend Retreat
with Rev. Connie L. Habash
Nature, Spirit, and Connection
October 19-21, 2018
Mount Madonna Center – Watsonville, CA
We all seek connection – it is a human need, and women in particular long for deep, meaningful community. Connection is love. When we feel connected with another, there is a feeling of love and understanding. When we feel connected to the Earth, we feel that we belong.
The sense of connection develops as we walk the spiritual path. Not just with each other who share the path with us, but we deepen our relationship to all life, to the Divine, and even to our very own selves.
Explore meaningful connection in a group of women dedicated to personal and spiritual growth. We foster this through yoga, meditation,community exploration and group processes, deep nature connection practices, and a sprinkling of sacred solitude.
The Fall Women’s Retreat includes:
- Daily yoga classes
- Moderate hiking and nature exploration
- Daily meditation and breath work
- Group exercises, discussion, and creative practices (including a drumming circle!)
- Free time to relax
- Accommodations for two nights
- All meals (vegetarian): Friday dinner; Saturday brunch, snack, and dinner; Sunday breakfast and snack
- Full access to Mt. Madonna Center: over 355 acres of open meadows and redwood forests, including hiking trails, a small lake for swimming, a hot tub, and a massage and wellness center
Mount Madonna Center is a spiritual retreat and community, beautifully located in the Santa Cruz Mountains overlooking Monterey bay. Secluded among 355 private acres and redwood trees, it offers the perfect setting for yoga, meditation, healing, and renewal.
