Adolescence may feel like a long way off when your girl is eight, but with the marketing of makeup, fashion clothing, and other teen accoutrements to the eight-to-eleven-year-old set, girls are beset with teenage anxieties at younger and younger ages.
During this day retreat, we'll use humor, play, and group discussion to provide a forum for mothers and daughters to deepen and celebrate their bond. We'll provide ideas and tools to help mothers stay close to their daughters as they mature, easing the transition into adolescence.

Mindful Eating Workshop and Meditation Retreat
About the Workshop and Retreat
Love With Prayer & Chocolate is a unique spiritual retreat based on the bestselling book Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. The journey starts on Saturday evening, November 21, with a savory and mindful eating workshop and indulging in a delicious Italian feast in Baltimore's famous Little Italy. The goal of this workshop is to awaken the senses (especially the tastebuds), and to gain an awareness of how each of the senses can nurture our souls and enhance our lives.
Then join us on Sunday, November 22 for a fun-filled mindfulness journey at the secluded and restful Bon Secours Spiritual Center in Marriottsville, Maryland. You'll delve deep into meditation and prayer with instruction for both the beginner and the well practiced. You'll be treated to a feast of the eyes with peaceful Mudra Movement derived from classical Indian dance, and, yes, you'll be encouraged to participate! The final destination in this journey is one of self-acceptance and love.
You may choose to attend one event or both. Come with a group of your friends or alone for some much needed self-nurturing. Either way, you are sure to gain a new perspective on how to live life to the fullest. Prepare yourself for a fresh start!

Sensational Eating: Savoring the Gifts of the Senses

We will discuss what it means to live "mindfully", and you'll be invited to practice mindfulness as you savor the moments of enjoying a delicious healthy meal. We'll conclude the day with an exploration of what it means to experience deep joy and to live life to the fullest.
