The Weekend offers a series of experiential activities, guided meditations and focused individual and group exercises. These processes have been carefully designed to help women find and access their inner power to support themselves in their daily lives.
BEGINNING | Friday night: Register and settle in. Unplug from the everyday world by removing your watch, makeup and jewelry. Meet your group for the Weekend. Begin by reflecting on yourself and your life.
GOING DEEPER | Saturday morning: Feel your emotions and inner conflicts. Touch upon what has brought you to the Weekend.
TRANSFORMING | Saturday afternoon: Take an experiential challenge to embody your authentic self. For instance, you may choose to step into your strength, break through barriers or experience your untapped potential or wisdom.
FINDING NEWNESS | Saturday night: Illuminate a new part of yourself. Be welcomed into the circle of women.
RELEASING | Sunday morning: Feel losses from your life – and choose to forgive. Recognize your connection to nature, humanity and your innate ability to create what you want in life. See what it’s like to be affirmed as a woman. Express your joy.

The Woman Within Weekend® is led by a team that includes a Weekend Leader, 6-8 Facilitators, 3 logistical leaders and anywhere from 20-30 staff members. The facilitation team goes through hands-on training that typically takes 7 to 15 years. Throughout their training, Facilitators go through a vigorous feedback process and are required to complete several leadership trainings. Woman Within Facilitation protocols are continuously improved based on feedback from women around the world. To create a circle of support, there are typically more staff members than participants – and all staff have attended the Weekend.
Staffing a Woman Within Weekend enriches your life
Give yourself the gift of supporting other women on their journey of self-discovery. Once you’ve completed your Weekend, you can come back and support others who are new to the Woman Within community as they reclaim their authentic selves.
Staffing is a gift you can give yourself and to women just beginning their Woman Within journey – in the U.S. or anywhere in the world. It’s a wonderful way to forge deep, lasting friendships and connection with other women seeking personal growth.
Woman Within Staff Training is required before staffing the Woman Within Weekend
Based on participation, in-person and/or virtual training sessions are available approximately one month prior to an upcoming Weekend

What Women Are Saying About The Weekend
“I went into the Woman Within Weekend with a hope that I would grow, understand, and appreciate myself a bit more following the Weekend. I gained far more than that.
I have been through some hard circumstances and situations in my life, as many of us have, but I felt as though I had done a good amount of work to facilitate the healing process prior to my Weekend. Women within blew me away at how much more understanding I still had to embrace in order to fully honor, love and accept myself as the woman I was created to be.
I grew a different understanding and appreciation for who I am and had multiple levels of healing transpire when I was able to place myself in the unique weekend experience. There was a powerful and beautiful energy amongst us all of the women. No judgment, no expectations, just a pure and authentic opportunity for each women to embrace the experience for exactly what it meant to them. I left with a deeper understanding of love and compassion for myself, in a way that I had never experienced before.”

“My own weekend seems like a lifetime ago, and yet it was just in 2017, in CA. The impact on my life since, is almost unbelievable. I went into my weekend feeling cautious (I had already done all the women’s “retreats” in my life) exhausted, burned out, hurt, silenced, and stuck. I came away feeling like I could do any thing. I let go of so much that I was holding on to, that wasn’t mine to hold. And in the continued process, I’m able to welcome more love and intention for myself and others, and allow my dreams to become reality.
I am so incredibly grateful for the weekend experience, in addition to the skills to continue doing the work, and the beautiful souls committed to becoming better versions of ourselves, to walk alongside in this journey. I’ve spent my whole life trying to fit in, looking for a tribe to belong to. But now, I’ve discovered that what I really long for is to love and belong to the woman in the mirror, the woman within.”

“I drove to the Colorado Weekend last May, I was curious and a bit nervous. Yes, I had read all the information and talked to folks but wondered how it would be for me. As the Weekend came to a close on that Sunday and I was driving home, I had such a feeling of being ‘free’- beginning to find me again.
It was an amazing experience – joyous, at times hard, valuable, supportive. It is a time of women supporting other women. You never feel you’re alone on your journey. It was the hardest thing I have ever done and the most rewarding. The Weekend continues with me to this day.”
