REST ~ RENEWAL ~ RECONNECTION
Are you ready for the 4th ANNUAL OMO WOMEN'S RETREAT?!

These annual retreats are an opportunity for women to focus on their own wants and needs, to build friendships and connections with women they may not see in everyday life, and to broaden their understanding of mental, emotional, and physical health through dynamic workshops led by women in the OMO community. 

​This all-inclusive weekend is for women who prioritize restorative self-care. It's also for those who value both togetherness and quiet. You will have an opportunity to connect with others as much as or as little as you prefer. Everything is included; there is no need for you to cook or clean or take care of anyone other than yourself. 
Why choose an OMO retreat?
[An OMO retreat is] a fabulous time out of our daily routines in a lovely comfortable setting with delicious food, wonderful opportunities for exploring topics and activities to nuture ourselves in community with incredible women, that allows for self-determination regarding the balance of alone time and interaction time. Just awesome!   ~May 2022 attendee

​Workshops will be offered throughout the weekend. Topics covered include:
Renewing ourselves:
  • Self-care is healthcare.
    You'll have the opportunity to treat yourself as you need to be treated, with space to explore art therapy, learn self-care tips, or take time to just be still and do nothing. 
​Reconnecting with community:
  • Women thrive in spaces where they feel seen, heard, and understood.
    ​Whether you are a repeat retreat attendee or new, our goal is for you to find others that help you process feelings and realize your needs, goals, and wants (from the simple to the life-changing)
Re-igniting our inner selves:
  • Working toward becoming your version of your best self takes reflection and sometimes also benefits from being sparked by a fascinating workshop or thought-provoking conversation.  During all aspects of the retreat, we offer a variety of experiences for you to reconnect with your inner self and her wants, needs, and goals for the future.
Workshop options and our book selection for the weekend will be announced soon. 
​We chose the Bon Secours Retreat Center because of its integration in the beauty of  nature, recently renovated facilities, affordability, delicious food, COVID safety over the pandemic, and convenience for us in Howard County. The extensive grounds of Bon Secours are open for you to explore alone or with others. The renovated, private rooms are fully stocked with everything you need, and rooms are even TV-free, so you can take a break from screens. With cozy meeting rooms, meditative spaces like the Labyrinth and Peace Garden, and quiet private rooms, our retreat group will have the space we need to laugh, to learn, and to just be. ​
An amazing weekend of connecting with other women, learning, and taking time to do exactly what you want and need to do
