This expression of interest is to attend The Light Within for Women retreat October 21-23, 2021 near Huntsville, Utah, hosted by the not-for-profit organization One Heart One Light. Since this retreat is the first of its kind, attendance will be by invitation only and 18-24 women will be selected to attend this first retreat. All future The Light Within for Women retreats will be open to the general public.
The Fall 2021 retreat will be staffed by men, with women participants. All future offerings of The Light Within for Women will be staffed by the women, including those invited to attend the Fall 2021 retreat.
This expression of interest to attend the Fall 2021 retreat has an additional component for a few women who are interested in being a part of One Heart One Light’s leadership by either:
- Being a part of the Women’s Senior Leadership Team that creates the upcoming women's program after the Fall 2021 retreat (4-6 women), or
- Joining the board of directors (appx 3 women).
