<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-35  aligncenter" title="rc_logo3" src="http://renewtheretreats.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/rc_logo3.jpg?w=150&#038;h=59" alt="rc_logo3" width="150" height="59" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Come join us on retreat this year!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Dates:  Coming Soon!  </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Hosted by Tisha Pletcher, Renew<em>all</em> Coaching Inc.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">What part of your life needs some loving attention?  What is begging to be renewed…is it your work…or maybe your health…or perhaps your relationships or even your spirit?</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">I have to confess that I myself have had a topsy-turvy two years of big shifts, long pauses, and intense questions.  It’s been filled with moves (count ‘em, three!), ice storms, even potty training.  Yikes!  And although many a day I wanted to pull my hair out or go back to bed… I usually took a deep breath, fired up the coffee pot, and dug in.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">And yet, I know the feelings of change, the waves of not knowing, and the stress of life.  And personally, I have been living into ways of responding authentically and lovingly even as my life flexes, shifts and recreates itself.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">It is from this place—my experience of change recently—that I invite you to retreat…and, to explore your own ways of loving yourself so kindly and deliciously that you can hear your authentic voice.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">Will you join me?</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">From my work with advocates for women to my own experiences of change over the last few years, this is what I will share with you on this retreat:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">You will get stuck in the frenzy cycles, fearful thoughts, and fatigue until you experience the self-love and deep listening that will bring you back to yourself.  (<em>And yes, you just might continue to get stuck in the frenzy, fear and fatigue but you will love yourself back to center much faster</em>!)</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">You don’t have to be held captive by the chaotic, often crisis-driven state of our world.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">You don’t have to be ruled by your fears, “what ifs,” and obstacles.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">You don’t have to let the demands of others determine your choices.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">You don’t have to sacrifice your health, your spirit, or your creativity.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">You don’t have to live with a poverty mindset.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">You don’t have to choose between work that matters and the life you desire.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">You don’t have to let life happen to you—there is another way.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">I want you to hear the whispers of another way deep in your heart and soul.  I want you to imagine the life you desire, as well as to take stock of your truth in this moment.  I want you to comfort yourself with laughter, soulful community, and of course yummy snacks (mmmm, how about chocolate?)! </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span><span style="font-size:small;"><a href="http://renewtheretreats.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/retreat-002.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-47" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://renewtheretreats.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/retreat-002.jpg?w=112&#038;h=150" alt="" width="112" height="150" /></a>   </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span><span style="font-size:small;"><a href="http://renewtheretreats.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/october5-013.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-48" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://renewtheretreats.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/october5-013.jpg?w=150&#038;h=112" alt="" width="150" height="112" /></a> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">Yes, you can choose a new way by reading the latest self-help book, giving the elliptical machine a good workout, watching some Tivo-ed Oprah, or gossiping with your girlfriends on Facebook.  But, these choices can take us out of our hearts…and they often cannot create lasting change in and of themselves.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">That’s because the shift that needs to happen must be guided from the inside-out, born from your heart, and heard in your body and mind.  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">It’s time to transform your story of living.  With gentleness, juiciness, and comforting support.  And did I mention chocolate?! </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> <a href="http://renewtheretreats.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/october5-004.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-49" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://renewtheretreats.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/october5-004.jpg?w=150&#038;h=112" alt="" width="150" height="112" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;"><strong>What will I get out of these retreats?</strong></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">You will </span></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">Listen to your heart’s desires through journaling, crafting and conversing</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">Pause from the busyness of every day life (and To Do’s!) </span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">Learn where you truly want to put your energies</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">Experience new tools to unwind and reconnect with yourself</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">Practice releasing old tensions from your body in nourishing, comfortable ways</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">Use creative, intuitive ways to illuminate what you need most</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">Create a vision for authentic-bold-yet-gentle living and brainstorm ways to bring it to life</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">Enjoy yummy snacks and lunch prepared for you while you enjoy retreat activities (and, it’s all included in the retreat price!)</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">Feel connected and supported in the community of other inspiring women</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> <a href="http://renewtheretreats.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/october5-024.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-50" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://renewtheretreats.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/october5-024.jpg?w=150&#038;h=112" alt="" width="150" height="112" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> <strong><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;"><strong>Why should I devote my time, money and energy to this retreat?</strong></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">I know it can be hard to carve out personal time and that money is tight.  It is for me, too.  And yet, as I work to renew my own life after a busy two years of transition, I am finding that ease, curiosity, and authentic self-care is just the prescription I need to transform into a new way of living.  I have to remember that I am the creator of my own life, that it changes from day to day, and that I can choose renewal with intention and self-love.  The only way I can remember this is by practicing the tools I will offer you on retreat.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">If you are in need of a rest and a release of old energies, come join me.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">If lately you have felt off-kilter, fatigued, or downright grouchy about life, please come.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">If life has been whispering in your ear, “there’s something more…listen to your heart and soul,” gift yourself with this day to listen.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">If you are longing for comfort, nourishment, and connection, then pretty please come on and sign up!</span></span></p>
