Any women out there in need of inspiration and recharge?
Join us for The Eleanor Days, Women's Leadership Retreats, 2010
Stone Cottage, Isle au Haut
One session: Tuesday, June 15 - Saturday, June 19, 2010
“The Eleanor Days” is for women who lead and act in the world to create social change. It is for women who want to create the space to rejuvenate, reflect and integrate new self-care skills and support networks into their lives. It’s for women who want to explore these types of issues within a small community of women in a natural setting on a beautiful island off the coast of Maine.
The vision, commitment and courage of Eleanor Roosevelt inspire this women’s leadership retreat, sponsored by the University of Maine Cooperative Extension (UMCE). Eleanor Roosevelt was a social activist, who during her White House years and beyond, was sustained and emboldened by the network of activist women friends and colleagues in her life.
Now in our seventh year, the retreat is designed with a balance of unstructured and group time each day. We explore topics of our socialization, self-care, who inspires us, competition and collaboration, what gets in the way of full support for ourselves and each other. Past participants have included directors and staff of social service agencies, non-profit organizations, and foundations; University faculty and administrators; and business owners. They have been educators, health care professionals, business women, artists, social workers, philanthropists and volunteers. They have been at all stages of their careers and lives.
This retreat begins when the late afternoon boat from Stonington arrives at Isle au Haut on June 15th and ends mid day on the 19th. It is limited to 10 women, including the leadership team of Deb Burwell, Eileen Conlon and Aileen Fortune. So space is limited, register early.
Early registration is $550, fully paid by April 9 and regular registration is $675. A limited number of partial scholarships are available. Complete program materials and registration form are attached. Feel free to contact me or Aileen Fortune with any questions you may have and please share with other women you know who might be interested. Thank you!
