GWAC Foundation, Inc. Presents: "Retreat, not "retreat": Wellness in Community"
April 26, 2025
Join us for a day of community and wellness. We will focus on connecting with each other, exploring our mind-body connection, releasing tension, staying present and exploring meditation through education and practice. Attendees can participate in yoga therapy, guided meditation and chair massages. Not an attorney or law student, not a problem. We invite you to participate in what will certainly be a transformative, restorative and affirming wellness experience. Feel free to share with others they may be interested or could benefit from attending the Retreat. This will be a safe space to unplug, connect, reflect, and fellowship. Lunch and swag bags will be provided. Chance to Win a Raffle Attendees will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win a gift certificate to Paris Alexander Day Spa. If you want a chance to win, be sure to attend!
