WomensRetreat_2

Saturday, August 10, 10:00 AM at Chico Art Center

Instructor: Lynn Abbiati, (530) 520-1513, lynabbiati@yahoo.com
$5 Fee, All Materials Provided

This retreat is a place for women to stop, take time for self care, to dream a little, to look to the future and begin to form a vision for the next 3 to 6 months. Each person will leave with a Dream Girl Vision Board. These boards are multi-media collages, which contain your dream girl image, with images and words supporting short and long term goals for the immediate future. Your goal can be as simple as identifying time to relax or as big as starting a new business. At this retreat, you will be in the company of women, where we can all laugh, love and share. This retreat will be opened to the first 20 people, who register. To off-set the cost of supplies, a $5.00 material fee is required, to register for this retreat.
