	Dr. Karen Gail Lewis

In 1996 Dr. Karen Gail Lewis began hosting UNIQUE RETREATS for  Women. The first retreats were set in the natural beauty of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia and incorporated horse back riding as one of the group activities. Retreats were later added for single women and adult siblings, using different activities and set in different locations around the country. View Participant Comments.

These weekend getaways to unusual or luxury settings offer Boomer women an opportunity to explore personal, family, work and life challenges.  Groups, limited to eight women, include at least 15 hours of in-depth group discussions and provocative individual exercises, with built-in free time to clear the mind so they can listen more attentively to their inner voices. Each retreat focuses on a particular theme, such as women in transition, single women, and adult siblings.  .

As a special treat, evening entertainment is provided by Barbara Baxter, a gifted ventriloquist.  Her “talking friends” tap into the theme of "finding your own voice." Women spend so much time and energy caring for others and being who they need to be for family and work. The retreats give them the opportunity to find their own voice again.

WHAT MAKES UR UNIQUE?

Retreats, in general, are a gift women give to themselves. For a few days, they let go of their worries about home or work and just focus on themselves.

Unique Retreats for Women is unique in the additional benefits it offers.  All retreats are exciting and exhilarating because of the intensity of being with caring women in a caring nurturing environment.  However, the glow from the weekend typically dissipates as women return to their daily lives.  However, these retreats have a built-in six month follow-up (by telephone) to assure the women maintain their momentum from the weekend. 

Unique Retreats for Women include a minimum of 15 hours of group discussion and innovative exercises.  They are specifically geared to help women clarify their personal goals, discover and address their individual issues.  Women leave with plans for concrete action, having designed their own specific strategies to reach their goals – goals that only a few days ago they weren’t even aware they had. 

Another unique aspect is the evening entertainment provided by Barbara Baxter, the gifted ventriloquist. Her “talking friends” tap into one underlying theme of each retreat, finding your own voice.   Finally, what makes Unique Retreats for Women unique is the skill and expertise of Dr. Karen Gail Lewis.  Her insight, understanding, encouragement, and gentle pushing, as well as her ability to make women feel accepted in the group, make the progress of each woman a treasure for the whole group.
