Mother-Son Retreat
Saturday February 7th 12-4pm $75 for both
Mothers and Sons ages 8-14 are treated to working with Michael Young, an experienced youth counselor, Sufi minister and master of Native American folklore, legends and rituals.

Women's Full Day Business Retreat
April, 2009 - Give yourself a day to be in nature and learn cutting edge business tips from area experts. This retreat offers tools to blend the mind and spirit for an integrated and balanced approach to our personal and professional lives.
Association of Women Business Leaders
The Association of Women Business Leaders (AWBL) is a group dedicated to women who are enthusiastically expanding their businesses. Our focus is community, networking, and exchanging ideas. Unlike many groups primarily dedicated to new business owners or strictly "networking" formats, AWBL remains dedicated to serving women in all levels of business maturity. Our goal is to offer a format for women business leaders to develop a community of friends. Creating a "tribe" is something many desire to be a part of, yet are not sure how to manifest.
Our meetings seek out quality speakers with relevant topics, as well as a unique "Business Brainstorm": a lively opportunity for women who in either a New, Established or Mature business to receive singular support for their unique needs at that time.
Joan Fisler began the AWBL 6 years ago with hopes of meeting other entrepreneurial women. Passionate about her own life’s work, Joan is a Certified Financial Planner® and Divorce Financial Analyst. Kari Henley began running AWBL in October 2007, and we are continuing to grow! Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.

Grand Opening new Med Spa at Rituals
After many months of hard work, I am very proud to announce the opening of a state of the art medical aesthetic center, nestled in the beautiful and luxurious Rituals spa, just off the historic Guilford Green. In my 'past life' I was a Spa Director in CA, and joined Rituals as a Marketing Director to use my skills and help design a seamless incorporation of "corrective" services for men and women that incorporates the special pampering only a top quality spa can provide.
Clients of our med spa work with a staff of highly trained nurses, and are supervised under Dr. Julian Henley, certified cosmetic surgeon (any my husband!). If you are bothered by sun damage, early wrinkling or skin texture, or lasers can go leagues beyond any facial or product. Rituals uses a premier new laser that offers superior hair removal, as well as medical microdermabrasion, teeth whitening, Botox group discounts, and tatoo removal. Check it out! www.rituals-spa.com. Schedule a free consultation with one of our nurses to have a digital image of your face analyzed to provide detailed understandings of your concerns and create a package that works for you.
