Work. Life. Me! Retreat Seeks to Bring Balance to Working Mothers

February 17, 2010 – The Work. Life. Me! Balancing Retreat for Working Mothers (www.balanceworklifeme.com) was created by two working moms: Karen Renzi of Beyondus Design & Marketing and Denuelle Meyer of A Balancing Act Coaching. Meyer and Renzi focused the event on giving busy working mothers a getaway respite, paired with informative workshops. The retreat will be held on March 27-28, 2010, at the Center of Renewal at Stella Niagara, in Lewiston, NY, located about 30 minutes from Buffalo. Through February 28th, nominations to win a retreat giveaway will also be accepted on the website.

Unlike many other “getaway weekends” geared towards women, this retreat acknowledges the juggling act working mothers live out each day – and the extreme difficulty many have with feeling deserving of time and money investment in themselves. This is reflected not only in the affordable registration rate, but also through workshops which will give participants takeaways they can apply immediately toward more balance in their lives. Workshops include an introduction to the Law of Attraction, Organization 101, Kicking Super Mom Syndrome to the Curb, Eating for Mind Body Balance, and Finance for Women. Presenters are not only experts in their fields but working moms who bring real-life understanding to the table.

The retreat offers:

Workshops to give valuable techniques for balance including goal setting, organization, finance, and more.
A peaceful setting to unwind with other women – no expectations.
Creative outlets to tap into internal energies.
Optional extras including indoor pool, massage, and reflexology.

Organizers Meyer and Renzi expressed, “We hope that by taking this weekend retreat for self-care and reflection, our participants will feel more empowered and closer to that elusive work/life balance we all seek. We often don’t afford ourselves the time we need as working moms, not realizing that doing so allows us to be more present for those we love. Plus, we can’t wait to spend time with other fabulous women!”
