Residential Program

Our next residential program
will be June 3-17 in Berea

In this immersive two-week program, women gain tools to define, pursue and achieve their goals.

Women begin by rebuilding self-esteem, which nurtures a new sense of purpose and direction. Then they’re ready to set goals and make plans to reach them. Some will pursue a new job or go back to school, while others will work toward financial independence. All will gain insights that lead to greater self-reliance and healthier relationships.

Feedback from women desiring change, but unable to leave home, led us to develop our three-day non-residential program. The focus is on self-esteem, integrative health, and setting and achieving new personal goals.
