Women's Leadership Retreat
May 21-23, 2008, Philadelphia, PA
Retreat: Boldly Moving Downstream
Days: 3
This retreat is for women leaders in organizations who are seeking to develop themselves personally and professionally and want to create more ease in their leadership. Our women's retreat is ideally suited to women in leadership roles, who are people managers with at least 5 years management experience. It is a retreat that will provide rejuvenation, challenge, and an invitation to step into personal power in new ways.
Retreat Description
Women in leadership roles often are challenged with external forces that have them leading in ways that are contrary to their natural instincts. Over time, this work of leadership can be wearing on the mind and the heart. We understand women's natural gifts for leadership and our retreats are intended to provide a place where women leaders can reconnect to their natural strengths for leadership and to take time out to find their way to leading from who they really are. When this happens women lead more powerfully, with more ease.
Accessing the power of the outdoors and the water as a metaphor for the journey of your leadership, Soulzatwork and Hidden River Outfitters offers a 3 day experiential retreat for women that includes kayaking, experiential workshops, and individual one-on-one coaching for 3 months post program, to support women leaders who seek more and less - more success, less stress, more reflection time, less 'busyness', more fulfillment, less acceptance of hollow promises and more aliveness in life and work.
Access that part of you that longs for more flow.

Ted Danforth has always believed that true satisfaction comes from living and working in what you are passionate about. Ted worked for over 25 years managing his own environmental engineering business before his entrepreneurial spirit led him to launch Hidden River Outfitters (HRO). This new direction offered an opportunity to focus his long-held passion of working and playing in the outdoors and sharing his sense of place with others through sea kayaking.
Ted's outdoor spirit is contagious and inspiring when he recounts his solo explorations that have brought clarity to life's difficult decisions, or the many trips he's shared with one or both of his sons - cross-country skiing in Vermont, backpacking in the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania or sea kayaking in Maine. He also serves on the board of the Schuylkill Greenway Association. Ted holds an MBA from St. Joseph's University and Engineering degrees from Penn State University and Florida Institute of Technology.
