Salon
 FRIDAY NIGHT SALON
 
July 5, 2013 
Potluck at 6:30pm
Discussion begins at 7:00pm
  
Held every first and third Friday of the month, Salons offer lively discussion, good food, and interesting activities.  Salons are a great way to meet new people, share ideas, and learn new information. Suggested donation is $5 to help us continue these insightful evenings, but no one is turned away.
 
Bring something for the potluck--enough for yourself and a little extra for another.  We'll have time to socialize.  This is a warm, relaxed gathering of like-minded people held in partnership with Women's Way of OH/KY.

 MiniRetreat NEW:  MINI-SUMMER WRITING RETREAT

Are you interested in attending our Summer Writing Retreat but just can't get away for a full week?

Well, we have GOOD NEWS!!!

 

We are now offering a MINI-SUMMER WRITING RETREAT for Women in beautiful Oldenburg, Indiana. Our new program dates are Sunday, July 14-Wednesday, July 17. Cost is $320 all inclusive. But you need to HURRY! The Registration deadline is JUNE 30! 


Join us for a mini-retreat of writing and renewal in lovely Oldenburg, Indiana.  Our retreat will follow a pattern of structured and free time, alone and together, with mornings for individual writing, afternoons for small groups and evenings for large group activities and readings.  We will allow ample space for writing, walking, dreaming, and resting.  This is an opportunity to go deep with a project, or to start something you've been imagining anew.
