What happens on the Weekend?
The Weekend offers a series of experiential activities, guided meditations and focused individual and group exercises. These processes have been carefully designed to help women find and access their inner power to support themselves in their daily lives.
BEGINNING | Friday night: Register and settle in. Unplug from the everyday world by removing your watch, makeup and jewelry. Meet your group for the Weekend. Begin by reflecting on yourself and your life.
GOING DEEPER | Saturday morning: Feel your emotions and inner conflicts. Touch upon what has brought you to the Weekend.
TRANSFORMING | Saturday afternoon: Take an experiential challenge to embody your authentic self. For instance, you may choose to step into your strength, break through barriers or experience your untapped potential or wisdom.
FINDING NEWNESS | Saturday night: Illuminate a new part of yourself. Be welcomed into the circle of women.
RELEASING | Sunday morning: Feel losses from your life – and choose to forgive. Recognize your connection to nature, humanity and your innate ability to create what you want in life. See what it’s like to be affirmed as a woman. Express your joy.
CELEBRATING | Sunday afternoon: Take part in a feast of affirmation, laughter and community. Learn about options for continuing your journey. Connect, acknowledge – and return to your life.
Who leads the Weekend?
The Woman Within Weekend® is led by a team that includes a Weekend Leader, 6-8 Facilitators, 3 logistical leaders and anywhere from 20-30 staff members. The facilitation team goes through hands-on training that typically takes 7 to 15 years. Throughout their training, Facilitators go through a vigorous feedback process and are required to complete several leadership trainings. Woman Within® Facilitation protocols are continuously improved based on feedback from women around the world. To create a circle of support, there are typically more staff members than participants – and all staff have attended the Weekend.
“I did my weekend on Maui . I didn't know what to expect and I was very nervous. I remember feeling emotional just by being welcomed by the staff. My higher self knew something was about to change.
It was one of the most powerful experiences in my life. I was able to let go of self-punishing beliefs. I felt lighter and with more clarity. Being there and sharing the weekend with other women was extremely powerful. The facilitators were experienced, intuitive, kind, and compassionate. The staff was amazing too! Being here on the island made it more special. I wish every woman could experience this training, it's a beautiful gift to the self."

“Before my weekend, I had a story in my head that said I was not wanted and that I was silenced because I was not smart enough.
With the extraordinary wisdom of the leaders, facilitators, and staff, I regained my voice and saw the beauty of life within me, I owned my part of that story, and now I can speak freely and authentically and proudly say, I am free to love, to be kind and to be compassionate.”

“I have no words to describe how special the WWH Weekend was for me. I was able to dive deep and work on my marriage betrayal. I choose to live my life. I am not alone on this journey. As women, there are unique experiences that interconnect each one of us. I'm grateful for this organization which supports women's healing and sisterhood. I also have to share that after my weekend I was able to volunteer and staff a Weekend. That experience is amazing! I highly recommend it too. Aloha!"
