Baby Boomers are blowing the lid off the concept of what it’s like to
grow old. With so many professional and personal opportunities to explore and
expand, Boomer women are reshaping what “middle age” looks and feels like. For
many, “50” feels more like the Indy 500. But somewhere, at some point, before
they blow an engine, women have to get off the fast track to refuel, refocus,
and then get back on course.
Joyce Dillon, R.N., M.N., owner of Healthy Living and Balance and a
Boomer expert, is like the “crew captain” who ensures you’re properly tuned up,
balanced and fueled to stay ahead of the game.
“Baby Boomer women, in particular, are making major transitions in
their careers, relationships, health concerns, and lifestyles – and they have
no intention to slow down and grow old. Fifty is the new fifty, so these women keep packing on the
responsibilities – and the adventures – with aplomb,” Dillon says. “Yet few
have the kinds of support they need to make transitions with clarity and joy
rather than stress.”
She offers women that
much-needed support and the benefit of her lifelong transformative teaching
experience as host of The Awaken to Life Empowerment Retreat, November 7th-November 14th,
2008 at the El Cafetal Inn, in Atenas, Costa Rica.
The
package includes all retreat activities, accommodations for seven days and
seven nights at El Cafetal Inn, admission to all afternoon activities, all breakfasts
and three dinners at El Cafetal Inn, and transportation to and from the airport
and retreat activities.
Dillon adds, “Women have
claimed a high degree of power and, along with its advantages, we find our days
and nights packed with responsibilities. Few women can find the time and
privacy to go within and reconnect to what’s truly meaningful for them. The
Awaken to Life Empowerment Retreat is designed especially for such women, to
help them relax, refocus, rejuvenate and recommit to the incredible life path
that is possible for all of us with just a little help,” she says.
Though relaxing, the retreat
promises a challenging and supportive program, including structured group
activities on clarifying what you want for your life, preparing for the changes
you seek, sharing your meaningful life stories, awakening your inner awareness,
and creating a blueprint for the next steps in your life.
Retreat participant, Pam
Cook, says, “The best part for me was becoming part of a group of women that
accepted, listened and supported me to live my authentic life.”
“The advantages of our retreat over a local workshop
are immense,” says Dillon, “starting with the essential element of separating
from day-to-day responsibilities long enough, and getting the right kinds of
support and coaching, to go deeply within, truly relax, and reconnect with what
really matters.”
Dillon, a master’s prepared
nurse, certified life and wellness coach, and transformative educator, brings twenty-five
years of clinical experience and extensive training in mind-body medicine,
meditation, energy medicine and transformational work. She dedicates her life
to helping individuals and groups live a more empowered, healthy and conscious
life. She has worked with individuals and organizations, including such major
organizations as Kellogg, Subaru, Protein Technology, and The Carter
Presidential Center.

Center for Conscious Living, offers a full-range of preventive, wellness and
life enhancement programs, and courses and private sessions that promote health,
