Lectures & Workshops

Joan-with-Bridge

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed in the things you didn’t do than the things that you did.”
–Mark Twain

One Day Subject Titles

T
he Second Journey – Every Woman’s Odyssey
Soul Searching by the Sea – A Day to Repair / Regroup / Regenerate / Renew
The Journey Back to Yourself – Mind, Body, Spirit Symposium

Joan tailors her workshops to the particular organization’s needs and desires. She prefers a setting whereby the attendee can have some solo time in nature. The basis for most workshops is a 6 point plan that Joan intuitively came to during her year by the sea. The workshop helps a woman identify her strengths, understand the phase of life she is in, and then prepare to regenerate and renew.

“The first step is to take yourself away,” Joan says, “even if it is just for a day. Any gift of time to oneself will set you on a path of rediscovery.”
