If you’re prone to grabbing a girlfriend for a getaway every once in a while- hopefully not Thelma and Louise style- you may want to rethink the chic Miraval for another time and head back to camp. Yes, camp…where childhood memories of sleeping in sparse bunk-bedded cabins without indoor plumbing, eating meals mess-hall style, and dances where you chased after the cutest boy come to mind- and may have been your 12 year old self’s perfect summer. Well you’re now able to relive those years, and get a much needed break at the same time, at a place in Malibu called Campowerment where- you guessed it- women from around the country of all ages, occupations, and life stages come to reclaim their power. If your sizzle has fizzled, or you’d like to take your mental and physical state to a higher level, this four day retreat- where you once again lodge in cabins, however they are climate controlled- is for you. Just bring a sleeping bag and your own linens…but keep your Frette at home.
Campowerment Director and Founder- Extra TV’s senior producer and Emmy award winner- Tammy Leader Fuller offers a myriad of activities and interactive workshops that will keep even the most type-A woman scheduled, should that be your agenda. If you’d rather peace-out and get through those four books you’ve been attempting to finish this past year, that’s fine too- as the breathtaking ocean views are conducive to chilling with your iPad in hand.
Yoga, spiritual aerobics, archery, hiking, zip-lining, dancing, energy healing, and team building keep in perfect harmony with the experts on hand to give you an assist, and they range from relationship strategists to astrologers to psychologists to wardrobe stylists to mindful eating chefs. Workshops, seminars, and break out sessions are almost always held outside on a mountaintop, the edge of a cliff, or around a campfire with s’mores roasting.
