Ten years ago, Joan Anderson ran away from home and learned how to turn her life around. She gives an account of her experience in the best-selling book, A Year by the Sea. Subsequently, she began running retreats that thousands of women have attended to redefine who they are beyond the roles that they play.

A Weekend to Change Your Life is the ultimate experience to help you grow and change. Learning how to be alone is an important component of this journey. Solitude is not a luxury, Anderson says; it is a necessity. As St. Augustine said: “The unexamined life is the wasted life.”

During the weekend, through presentations, group discussion, journal writing, and other experiential exercises, you learn how to retreat, retrieve, repair, regroup, regenerate, and return to your old life renewed and new. “It’s about becoming a scholar of self and soul,” Anderson says.

Bring a journal. Recommended reading: Anderson, A Year by the Sea, An Unfinished Marriage, A Walk on the Beach, or A Weekend to Change Your Life.

Joan Anderson is the author of 16 children’s books and four memoirs: A Year by the Sea, An Unfinished Marriage, A Walk on the Beach, and A Weekend to Change Your Life. She has appeared on Oprah and is a frequent lecturer at conferences throughout the country. joanandersononline.com
