Are you ready for the 4th ANNUAL OMO WOMEN'S RETREAT?
These retreats are an opportunity for women to:
This all-inclusive weekend is for women who prioritize restorative self-care. It's 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 |

Understand and Connecting with Your Authentic Self
Two texts, Radiant Rebellion and I Am Diosa, with two distinct styles of bringing out our inner emotions and authentic selves, will be referenced throughout the retreat as starting places for discussions and activities. |

Workshops will be offered throughout the weekend. Topics covered include:
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.
- 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.
- 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)
Workshop options will be announced soon.
Each retreat is unique because we build the sessions around what's important to women in this moment based on what we're hearing from the women in our circles. Our first retreat in 2021 addressed the feelings (isolation, grief, anxiety, along with joy to be gathering again) brought on by the pandemic. Last year's retreat focused on Michelle Obama's The Light We Carry and how to nurture our own lights.
The OMO community is full of amazing leaders; women who are willing to share their gifts and knowledge to help others. All session leaders are volunteers, giving of their time and knowledge. At past retreats, we've been fortunate to have a doctor who specializes in menopause speak with us, a therapist who specializes in grief guide us through exercises, a physical therapist demonstrate pelvic floor exercises, and an art teacher show us the healing benefits of art practices.
We chose the Bon Secours Retreat Center because of its integration in the beauty of nature, recently renovated facilities, affordability, great food, 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.
Bon Secours is an independent organization separate from the Catholic Church, no funding goes to nor is provided by the Church. Bon Secours follows the same tenet as OMO: ALL ARE WELCOME; they host non-religious groups like ours as well as groups from other religions.
