Healthy Living Boomer
Expert To Host Costa
Rica Retreat
Baby Boomers are blowing
the lid off the concept
of what it's like to
grow old. With so many
professional and
personal opportunities
to explore and expand,
Boomer women are
reshaping what "middle
age" looks and feels
like.
For many, "50" feels
more like the Indy 500.
But somewhere, at some
point, before they blow
an engine, women have to
get off the fast track
to refuel, refocus, and
then get back on course.
Joyce Dillon, R.N., M.N.,
owner of Healthy Living
and Balance and a Boomer
expert, is like the
"crew captain" who
ensures you're properly
tuned up, balanced and
fueled to stay ahead of
the game.
"Baby Boomer women, in
particular, are making
major transitions in
their careers,
relationships, health
concerns, and lifestyles
- and they have no
intention to slow down
and grow old. Fifty is
the new fifty, so these
women keep packing on
the responsibilities -
and the adventures -
with aplomb," Dillon
says. "Yet few have the
kinds of support they
need to make transitions
with clarity and joy
rather than stress."
She offers women that
much-needed support and
the benefit of her
lifelong transformative
teaching experience as
host of The Awaken to
Life Empowerment
Retreat, February 22-28,
2008 at the El Cafetal
Inn, in Atenas, Costa
Rica. The package
includes all retreat
activities,
accommodations for seven
days and seven nights at
El Cafetal Inn,
admission to all
afternoon activities,
all breakfasts and three
dinners at El Cafetal
Inn, and transportation
to and from the airport
and retreat activities.
Dillon adds, "Women have
claimed a high degree of
power and, along with
its advantages, we find
our days and nights
packed with
responsibilities. Few
women can find the time
and privacy to go within
and reconnect to what's
truly meaningful for
them. The Awaken to Life
Empowerment Retreat is
designed especially for
such women, to help them
relax, refocus,
rejuvenate and recommit
to the incredible life
path that is possible
for all of us with just
a little help," she
says.
Though relaxing, the
retreat promises a
challenging and
supportive program,
including structured
group activities on
clarifying what you want
for your life, preparing
for the changes you
seek, sharing your
meaningful life stories,
awakening your inner
awareness, and creating
a blueprint for the next
steps in your life.
Retreat participant, Pam
Cook, says, "The best
part for me was becoming
part of a group of women
that accepted, listened
and supported me to live
my authentic life."
"The advantages of our
retreat over a local
workshop are immense,"
says Dillon, "starting
with the essential
element of separating
from day-to-day
responsibilities long
enough, and getting the
right kinds of support
and coaching, to go
deeply within, truly
relax, and reconnect
with what really
matters."
Dillon, a master's
prepared nurse,
certified life and
wellness coach, and
transformative educator,
brings twenty-five years
of clinical experience
and extensive training
in mind-body medicine,
meditation, energy
medicine and
transformational work.
She dedicates her life
to helping individuals
and groups live a more
empowered, healthy and
conscious life. She has
worked with individuals
and organizations,
including such major
organizations as
Kellogg, Subaru, Protein
Technology, and The
Carter Presidential
Center. |
