In the Company of Women • August 11-17, 2018
www.ferrybeach.org/women Do you long for that sense of self you once had when you giggled with girlfriends; when you only had to be you? Come and be that authentic self again, … In the Company of Women. Learn something new, re-discover joy, or safely share your grief, embraced in a friendly community of belonging; appreciated for who you are deep down, not the many roles we tend to take on as women; as nurturers, as lovers. No matter how you identify your sexual orientation… Gay, Bi, Lesbian, or Straight… no matter who you love, you are welcome here, In the Company of Women. The ocean waves, the intimate talks, the smiles and laughter... You deserve this! Magic has been known to happen during “Women’s Week.” We can truly express ourselves; and reclaim that Vital Spirit of Empowerment. As one participant said, “it’s like Soul Camp for the Feminine Heart!” Come relax, refresh and renew… In the Company of Women. |
