TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 29, 2010 — Celebrating opportunities for spirited midlife women, Create Your Path of Beauty, a five-day retreat and workshop at White Stallion Ranch in Tucson, Jan. 31-Feb. 5, will help participants create their own paths toward beauty of body, mind and spirit.
Sponsored by Wisdom Horse Coaching, the retreat is designed to inspire midlife women to move into the future with joy and confidence.
“Midlife is a powerful time for women,” says life coach and workshop facilitator Lynn Baskfield. “Old stories about ourselves were shaped by family, media images, cultural attitudes, or religious beliefs. Midlife is a time to look anew at who we are and tell our own story.”
The Path of Beauty retreat was developed following an online survey of midlife women that Baskfield conducted earlier this year. Women surveyed identified their three top problems: Not enough time. Not enough fun. Wanting to feel better about their bodies. Survey results are available in a free 19-page special report, “Telling a New Story: Reclaiming Beauty, Passion and Purpose, Midlife and Beyond.”
Morning workshop sessions will focus on horse-guided experiential learning and self-development. Afternoons will be free for individual activities such as exploring Tucson, getting a massage, or creative projects. Evenings will be a mix of workshop activities and free time.
The Path of Beauty retreat package includes five nights of lodging (double occupancy) at the family-owned, 3,000-acre White Stallion Ranch in rooms with a private patio and views of cactus gardens or mountains. Three meals a day are included, as well as optional horseback riding and ranch entertainment. Cost is $1,599 per workshop participant.
