Women’s Gathering 2011

"The weekend – a dream come true. Such a joy to spend a long weekend with a group of wonderful women, cooking, laughing, playing, learning, laughing, creating, planting the seeds for future endeavors. I can’t wait for the next gathering."


"I experienced the power, creativity, and supportive nature of women. The feeling of love was everywhere, including the food. It was relaxing and stimulating at the same time. Loved the sharing or knowledge, cooking tips, and ideas."


"It was a time to re-group. I learned all over again the “Joy” of the kitchen. The sound of chopping, the smells, and the laughter.The time was perfect. Melanie, Barbara & Mary anticipated our every need. Liked the hikes. Loved sitting at the table and savoring the meal we all helped to create. Thank You!"


"I was so delighted to come together with like minded women to share macrobiotics. I love that we shared ideas, cooking & the events. It so nice to feel empowered with so many strong & positive women. This has taken me to another level in macrobiotics. What I liked most about the event was cooking together & learning new ideas. What I liked the least was not having enough time to do everything. (I missed some of the events)."


"How would I describe my personal experience? This weekend with these amazing women made me realize how much power and strength I have inside me. The energy of the weekend and the voices of the women helped me to tap into my own voice and to impress upon me that I do not have to be afraid to express my feelings, needs, power and happiness any more."


"The overall experience was one of a feeling of belonging to something bigger than myself. As long as I am here I am never alone. There is always someone to call who can support me with a sisterly shoulder to pour my feelings out to. I got so much info on cooking, handling stress, dealing with difficult people, being healthy, etc. But most important, there are role models in us for all ages."
