The Star Women conference is a casual retreat with a mind/body/spirit focus. Minimal structure fosters an environment which encourages individuality, spontaneity and creativity while respecting solitude and silence. Involvement in scheduled activities is optional. We create community through conversation–sharing stories, experience and wisdom in workshops, while dining, or pulling up a rocker on the front porch. It’s all about YOU, whether you come on your own or with a friend. Conference programs are developed during spring planning, so stay tuned.
