The Busy Women's Retreat Flies Again: Rebuilding Mind-Body Energy and Emotional Muscles

Hi,

The Busy Women's Retreat Flies Again.  See flier below.

Led by Mark Gorkin, LICSW, aka The Stress Doc, and Christine Pilson, a certified Health Coach

SATURDAY, JUNE 10th FROM 9:00am to 4:00pm

Cedarhurst Unitarian Universalist Church

2912 Clubhouse Rd, Finksburg, MD 21048

Do you know any woman who is working, taking care of a family and a home, maybe even parents elderly or infirm…on top of living in today’s TNT – Time-Numbers-Techno – Driven & Distracted World?  Did anyone say STRESS?  And the second most important question:  You know self-care is a priority, so why aren't you really doing it?

Have no fear…the Health Coach and the Stress Doc ™ are here to help you “Get FIT” through their FUN-Interactive-Thought-provoking One Day Retreat.  Christine and Mark will share powerful tools and techniques for grappling with and working through stress and conflict, loss, and change.  However, the real learning and growth comes from being in a safe space and authentically sharing with women, like yourself, on the front lines of the stress-burnout battlefront.

A testimonial from the original BWR retreat:

Busy Women's Retreat
at Blue Mountain Retreat Center/Harper's Ferry, WVMarch 14, 2010

Mark,

Thank you so much for giving such a meaningful presentation at the Busy Women's Retreat here at Blue Mountain on March 5th and 6th. The subject matter, "Transforming Stress, Conflict and Change into Passion Power" was itself a very powerful theme, and you were able to so skillfully present and guide the group! This subject brought a lot of heavy emotions from the women to the surface. Your ability to help the women work through their issues, and even more importantly, your ability to give them tools with which to transform their stress was truly amazing. The participants in the retreat told me personally that they were very impressed with the way that you managed the group and that they took away many things that they can use in their everyday life. Your presentation helped them to evaluate their stressors differently, to see the positive in every stress, conflict and/or change. Moreover, you helped them to realize they are not alone, and you were so skilled at allowing and encouraging others to give feedback within the group!I am just so impressed with your organization, your presentation and your professionalism. I will certainly hire you again, and the women in this first group all said they look forward to working with you again at a future gathering! Thank you for your time, effort, intelligence and caring. You are truly a gifted workshop leader!!
