Women Guardians Retreat

At our inaugural Women Guardians Retreat, women guardians are invited to a rejuvenating all-expenses-paid 2-day, 1-night wellness experience focused on the theme of reciprocity.

Set in the serene environment of Silver Lake Camp and Retreat Center, this retreat serves as an experiential introduction to various therapeutic activities and an opportunity to meet fellow women guardians.
