We are so thankful we gifted ourselves and others with the Women In Progress, a mother and teen daughter workshop. We just completed an absolutely wonderful week with mothers and daughters in a different way. This year we were in Prospect, PA during the best summer weather ever seen in western Pennsylvania, sunny and 70s.
The best thing we mothers and daughters did was to choose this time to slow down, dream our futures, write and share those dreams and identify some first steps toward reaching them. We shared these practices with our daughters. Some memorable stuff for us and the daughters–
- being outside and in nature, climbing the huge pine tree and “going out on a limb” – literally and figuratively!
- making shrinky dinks, magic wands, treasure boxes and picture collages to remind us how we are always in progress and becoming the women we dream about;
- hanging out with new friends
- spending time together
- capturing our future vision on paper and making some action steps
- thoroughly enjoying the closing ceremony created by the daughters
- having a good time
Mothers listened to daughters and daughters listened to mothers with an open heart. Our connections evolved. Yipee!
We are looking forward to sharing this experience with more Mothers and Daughters in the future and we’re trying other formats, like evening sessions once week over a couple months.
Our next week long "camp" will likely be in Summer of 2011 in North Carolina!
