Women in search of the perfect spring renewal will be thrilled to know about an event I am working on called Boot Camp for Goddesses.  The April 21st-26th, 2009 retreat is hosted by VITEC-Continuing Education & Training, Maui Community College. Led by international retreat leader, Sierra Bender, Boot Camp for Goddesses is a holistic fitness program that is designed specifically for women.  Sierra has a four-pronged approach to health and fitness that incorporates the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical.  As I learn more about Sierra's inspirational retreats, I feel it is just the thing I need to reinforce my New Year's resolution of creating more balance in my life.  Self-care seems to be the first thing to fall by the wayside in my life when things get busy.

Boot Camp for Goddesses is designed for women at all levels of fitness.  Women of all backgrounds will leave behind life’s demands and expectations, and return to their true Goddess nature.  It’s a chance to reclaim and rejoice in your magic, mystery, strength, and inner beauty.  Bender says the retreat is designed to "awaken women to their female spirit." 

Boot Camp for Goddesses features yoga, fitness workouts, hikes to sacred sites,  detoxification, meditation, breath work, aromatherapy, energetic healing, a sweat lodge purification ceremony, and live African drumming and dancing. Also included are discussions on women's health, nutrition, and healing. "To become truly powerful, you have to be fit in more than just your physical body", says Bender.  Boot Camp for Goddesses creates a safe haven to explore and embrace your truth.  You’ll relax into that sacred place inside you where everything is still, and where answers are found.

A few things you will gain at Boot Camp for Goddesses:
-Discover the four levels of total fitness and assess your strengths and challenges
-Take command of your mind, body, spirit, and emotions
-Explore women’s traits of mystery, magic, balance, wisdom, and inner beauty
-Trust, listen, and follow your body’s intelligence
-Honor the balance that exists between effort and  nurturing
-Explore what it means to meet our needs and strive for your own goals
-Learn a new discipline of strength – the strength to let go
-A more radiant outer beauty reflecting the joy you feel within

Wow, Sierra!  I am really looking forward to spending 5 days with you & the other Goddesses, walking the path of healing & rejuvenation in body, mind, spirit, & emotions.
