Boot Camp for Goddesses Comes to Maui Community College, April 2009

Monday, December 15th, 2008




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!
