Wisdom Woman Weekend

Stillheart Institute, Woodside, California

February 4-6, 2011

General Information

If you haven't had the chance to experience Stillheart Institute, now is the time to plan ahead for an event and a venue that you won't soon forget. View the Stillheart Institute slide show by clicking here.

Women from all walks of life will gather for two nights with one goal; to replenish their bodies, minds and spirits in a place that was designed for rejuvenation.

Plans are being made to include the best of balance, including:

  • Friday Night "Group Soup" (with help from my favorite caterer, Lori Hofman)
  • Friday Night Pajama Party (dancing and a "heart" art project included)
  • Keynote Speaker - Marjorie Barlow, Ph.D., Author of The Possible Woman (click here for more info and to read about Marj's upcoming book, The Possible Woman Get's Engaged)
  • Saturday Evening Guitar Concert with Emily Lord, SF Bay Area critically acclaimed and award-winning vocalist, songwriter and performer (click here for more info about Emily Lord)
  • Wisdom Woman Marketplace (on-site shopping!)
  • A FRESH NEW agenda of mini-workshops woven into the weekend

Cost

There are many options to choose from when it comes to your lodging at Stillheart. You may choose to stay in the Main Lodge, or experience the new Tree House rooms on the grounds surrounding the Main Lodge.

Step One: Decide if you will be rooming alone, or with a friend or two. Please indicate your roommate selection upon registration, or a roommate will be assigned to you (except in the case of triple occupancy, where you'll have to have made prior arrangements with two other women who will share your room).
