Withinsight welcomes 2011 with a year-long celebration of Women's Wisdom~Spirit's Spark, with Lisa Meade and Valerie Wilke leading women to uncover the gifts they hold within. On Saturday, February 12, Withinsight’s Imbolc Open House will honor the midpoint between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox, with the promise of seeds stirring underground, our intentions for the  New Year that will be woven in words and movement, color and form.

 Dreams and goals will also bloom into reality at Withinsight's weekend spiritual retreat at Litchfield’s Wisdom House Retreat Center on March 26 through 27, where participants will work solo and in groups to explore the deepest longings of their souls. This introspective and interactive gathering will empower women to reconstruct their life-stories and to step into their personal strength and wisdom within a sacred space. Located in Fairfield County, Withinsight offers programs at various locations, finding local sites of beauty, power and tranquility as event locations. Forest glens, moonlit beaches, meadows and New England trails are only a few of the natural settings for Withinsight’s sacred spaces.

The February 12 Imbolc ceremony will take place from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Visit the website, WomenWithinsight.com for details and to sign up for an on-line seasonal newsletter offering updates.
