Valley EntreprenHERS JUNE Community Gathering at Homestead Barn Retreat

You must register here: ......More

You must register here: https://luma.com/rlhwr8xo   We’ll be gathering at The Homestead Barn Retreat in Granby, across the street from The Mills, a beautiful historic barn and lakeside event venue, for an evening of connection, conversation, and community in one of the most scenic settings we’ve visited yet.   Beth Roman, founder and owner of Women Empowering Lifelong Learning, has created a space that feels calm, compassionate, and deeply connected. Through her own life experiences and passion for helping women grow personally and professionally, Beth has built a community rooted in self-discovery, healing, learning, and personal growth.   During the evening, Beth will also lead us through a short guided reflection activity centered around the metaphor of planting seeds and the idea that every woman grows, both personally and professionally, through her past experiences. Each guest will also receive a plant to take home as part of the experience. Join us for a meaningful summer evening designed to help women connect, reflect, support one another, and simply enjoy being together in a beautiful setting.

Conquering Unforgiveness: A 5-Part Journey to Emotional Freedom, Inner Peace & Whole-Body Healing

What if forgiveness wasn’t about letting others off the hook… but about releasing what your body has been carrying, reclaiming your power, and expanding what’s possible for your life and leadership? In this transformative experience, Dionne Nicholls-Germain introduc......More

What if forgiveness wasn’t about letting others off the hook… but about releasing what your body has been carrying, reclaiming your power, and expanding what’s possible for your life and leadership? In this transformative experience, Dionne Nicholls-Germain introduces her signature D.R.E.A.M. Framework, a forgiveness-centered approach designed to help women release emotional weight that impacts not only the mind, but the body as well. Because what we hold onto doesn’t just live in our thoughts… it can show up in our energy, our stress levels, and even our gut. Together, we’ll reframe forgiveness as an empowered, healing choice, explore practical ways to engage the forgiveness process, and strengthen self-leadership through self-compassion and a growth mindset. Participants will be guided through powerful, real-time practices to begin releasing resentment, reconnecting with themselves, and creating new internal alignment. You’ll leave with practical, actionable tools you can immediately apply in everyday life to support emotional and physical well-being, navigate challenges with greater ease, and shift out of reactive patterns. This experience opens new possibilities in how you lead, communicate, and show up, moving from tension to ease, from burnout to clarity, and from holding on... to true release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In this transformative experience, Dionne Nicholls-Germain introduces her signature D.R.E.A.M.
