Women looking for the perfect way to start the New Year will be happy to know that Boot Camp for Goddesses® is coming back to Maui. January 15-20, 2010. Led by international retreat leader, Sierra Bender, Boot Camp for Goddesses® is a holistic fitness program that is designed specifically for women. Sierra’s four-prong approach to health and fitness is appropriate for women of all fitness levels, and incorporates health and fitness in the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. I found Sierra to be an inspiring woman, and I thoroughly enjoyed attending her workshop. Please check out the Maui slideshow from the April 2009 workshop.


Boot Camp for Goddesses® gives women an opportunity to come together with other like-minded sisters and create time in their lives to focus on self-love. It teaches women how to rejuvenate by becoming self-generators of their energy. Women have the chance to leave behind life’s demands and expectations, and reconnect with their true Goddess nature. Bender says the retreat is designed to “awaken women to their female spirit.” At Boot Camp for Goddesses® women reclaim and rejoice in their magic, mystery, strength, and inner beauty.


Boot Camp for Goddesses® features yoga, fitness workouts, hiking, detoxification, meditation, breath work, aromatherapy, energetic healing, a sweat lodge purification ceremony, and live African drumming and dancing. Discussions on women’s health, nutrition, healing, and gardening and permaculture are also an integral part of the curriculum.


Sierra’s holistic fitness program is being held at a lush, tropical, organic retreat center on the beautiful north shore of Maui. Located at the edge of the rainforest, participants will be treated to a tranquil jungle setting with magnificent views, solar heated saltwater pool, hot tub, dry sauna, and organic gardens. Hosted by Maui Community College, Office of Continuing Education & Training. January 15-20, 2010. $1475 (includes tuition, materials, facilities, and food). For more information or to register please call Sierra Bender (888) 794-3330.

Women in search of the perfect spring renewal will be thrilled to know about an event I am working on called Boot Camp for Goddesses. The April 21st-26th, 2009 retreat is hosted by VITEC-Continuing Education & Training, Maui Community College. Led by international retreat leader, Sierra Bender, Boot Camp for Goddesses is a holistic fitness program that is designed specifically for women. Sierra has a four-pronged approach to health and fitness that incorporates the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical. As I learn more about Sierra’s inspirational retreats, I feel it is just the thing I need to reinforce my New Year’s resolution of creating more balance in my life. Self-care seems to be the first thing to fall by the wayside when my life gets busy.


Boot Camp for Goddesses is designed for women at all levels of fitness. Women of all backgrounds will leave behind life’s demands and expectations, and return to their true Goddess nature. It’s a chance to reclaim and rejoice in your magic, mystery, strength, and inner beauty. Bender says the retreat is designed to “awaken women to their female spirit.”


Boot Camp for Goddesses features yoga, fitness workouts, hikes to sacred sites, detoxification, meditation, breath work, aromatherapy, energetic healing, a sweat lodge purification ceremony, and live African drumming and dancing. Also included are discussions on women’s health, nutrition, and healing. “To become truly powerful, you have to be fit in more than just your physical body”, says Bender. Boot Camp for Goddesses creates a safe haven to explore and embrace your truth.


Wow Sierra, the retreat sounds fabulous. I look forward to meeting you in April. A hui hou!
