Women, retreat to The West Woods for a special opportunity to reenergize, relax and connect with winter weather and wildlife.
The Nature Break: Women’s Retreat will take place on Saturday, Jan. 30, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at The West Woods Nature Center, 9465 Kinsman Road (Route 87), Russell Twp.
Your morning will begin with coffee and morning snacks followed by both indoor and outdoor retreat activities.
Enjoy the winter backdrop by snowshoeing through the beautiful scenery. Equipment and instruction for snowshoeing will be provided. Or, take a walk if you prefer.
An opportunity for low impact aerobics will be available indoors, as well, with higher intensity options offered.
Next, learn Geauga County’s resident winter birds from the warmth of the nature center, and, if you’d like, walk over to the Bird in the Hand feeding station for a hand-feeding experience you’ll never forget.
Finally, end your retreat with a soup and salad lunch where vegetarian and gluten-free options will also be made available.
Feedback on Geauga Park District’s women’s retreats over the years has been very positive.
“The women’s retreats I have attended were full of fun things to do and very healthy; I thoroughly enjoyed them,” wrote Jan from Chardon. “I look forward to doing this again!” wrote Jodi from Garrettsville. “Everyone was great and so was lunch!”
Please dress in layers with comfortable clothes for being both indoors and out, and consider bringing a change for aerobics.
Registration and a $6 fee are required here or by calling 440-279-0880. Also, call that number if you have questions. All indoor activities will be fully wheelchair accessible.
