This is a 7 Day Blog Series of the Inaugural Women’s Wellness Camp.
How It All Began
I arrived back in Wilmington last week after spending a wonderful seven days with five amazing, adventurous women. Now having had some time to reflect I want to share with you all our adventures.
Let me start at the very beginning. My desire and vision for running a women’s wellness camp was to provide a group of women of certain age (50yrs plus) with an outstanding holistic experience that embraces the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountain surroundings, and allows them to be self-indulgent. Exploring in-depth their physical abilities and boundaries, while increasing their knowledge of their own nutritional health, and embracing their mental wellbeing.
This was a unique chance for women to come together as a group and learn from other women. They left behind the stresses of busy scheduled lifestyles and focused on THEMSELVES! During the course of the week they challenged themselves physically with scenic hiking and biking, invigorating yoga, energizing strength & conditioning and empowering outward bound experiences. In addition to this, they explored critical areas of their diet and nutrition. This was achieved through personal assessments and group educational sessions that gave each of them the proper tools needed to make healthier food choices, maintain a healthy weight, fuel their workouts, and help reduce future risk for chronic disease.
So over the next few blogs, I want to share with you the fun we had, pushing our physical boundaries, allowing ourselves to come out of our mental comfort zone, and most importantly, enjoying the “quality me†time.
