Courage Camp – Embrace Your Inner Badass
Please note: This is a heart-centered retreat for women. Our retreat/workshop venue is historic Wiawaka Center for Women on beautiful Lake George, in the Adirondack Park of Upstate New York.
Please read the workshop description and options carefully before making your selection and payment. Do NOT sign up for this workshop if you cannot attend all sessions: 1 – 5 PM Friday, 9 AM – 5 PM Saturday (with lunch break), 9 AM to Noon Sunday. No late arrivals.
We rarely give ourselves credit for our strength and resilience. If we reflect on our lives up to this precious moment, we’ve navigated hardships and challenges beyond measure. As women, whatever our age, we are bombarded by cultural messages of not-enough-ness. It’s time to stop. Time to cultivate the courage to be our imperfect, glorious, true selves; to love ourselves not for what we do, but for who we are. Time to embrace our inner badass!
Come to Courage Camp and join like-minded women as we explore:
- Remembering the joys of younger passions
- Debunking cultural myths and messages about women
- Uncovering ideal and unwanted identities
- Exploring the inner critic – inner coach – inner child
- Practicing healthy boundaries
- Forgiving our younger selves
- Loving the woman we are today
- Embracing our wisdom journey to 100
- Vulnerability, courage, connection, and more!
Cate* gently guides participants through creative exercises and inner exploration from her 20 years of experience as a certified coach and 10 years as a certified facilitator or The Daring Way™ curriculum, developed by Dr. Brené Brown. Exploration may include elements of Brené Brown’s brilliant curriculum, as well as other adventures and exercises in self-discovery.
(Please note: For a “pure” Brené Brown / Daring Way™ curriculum experience, view the tabs above for virtual workshop examples or consider an individual coaching option.)
Our ALL-INCLUSIVE RETREAT location is Wiawaka Center for Women on beautiful Lake George in the Adirondack Park of Upstate New York. Your investment includes lodging Friday and Saturday night, as well as dinner Friday, three meals Saturday, and breakfast Sunday. After registering, you will be offered options for lunch on arrival Friday and lunch before you leave on Sunday (to be paid at the retreat). There is a dock to allow easy access for swimming and relaxing during your free time. The campus is spread out, so expect to be walking. Some adventures will be outdoors, weather permitting. This historic site, with Victorian Cottages, an Adirondack style lodge, and newer housing, has no air conditioning (except for the dining building, Fuller House, which has limited lodging). Temperatures tend to cool off in the Adirondack Mountain evenings and all rooms have fans. All rooms are private with shared bathrooms.
