Inner Glow Retreat

JOIN US FOR A SPECIAL SHABBATON & WORKSHOP

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14 – SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 16

DELICIOUS KOSHER FOOD, BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS,
HEALING AND LEARNING IN BEAUTIFUL MONROE

Inviting Jewish Ladies

Join us for a beautiful Shabbaton with incredible programming in the Monroe!

Delicious Kosher food, Learning, Friendship, Healing & Fun at a beautiful villa just a short drive from home.

 

Close your eyes and imagine...

Picture yourself in the peaceful tranquility of this beautiful home as it envelops your soul. Enter Shabbos with serenity and sisterhood. After a night of deep, restorative sleep, you awaken Shabbos morning to a day personalized with kedusha, connection and restoration. Enjoy nourishing meals filled with Torah insights, singing and bonding, followed by moments of reflection and joy with like-minded women, each seeking solace and growth in the company of others. Rounding out the Shabbos experience with a moving Havdallah, and gentle transitioning into the week to come with an uplifting Melaveh Malka filled with singing, dancing, and of course, more food!

Enter Sunday already feeling revived and refreshed and dive into the Inner Glow Workshop. 8 amazingly full and powerful hours all about you. Cultivating inner Harmony and radiating outer beauty with our talented all-star team of facilitators.

This vision is the essence of the “Inner Glow Retreat,” where each moment is crafted to bring you closer to the Divine, to yourself, and to a community of women who understand the power of connection and introspection. Come, and find your place in this sacred gathering.


Hashem loves you and it’s time to tap into your essence

You are Hashem’s child, the daughter of a King. You’re beautiful inside and out, valuable, worthy, cherished and loved, and the goal at this Shabbaton is that you FEEL it.


Expect some emotional moments where you’ll cry and release, and that’s OK because you won’t be alone. You’ll also laugh -a lot! We’re talking about deep, side-splitting, tear-jerking laughter that releases tension and unleashes that sense of deep, inner joy.


The biggest gain past attendees attest to above and beyond everything else, are the wonderful friendships they go home with. They are women just like you and the bond of sisterhood enables a tremendously powerful nurturing and healing atmosphere.
