Summer Day Retreat
Celebrating Women of Sussex
What have been the highlights?
"Hearing the stories of Sussex Women and an opportunity to do some art was lovely!" - Retreat Member
When women come together, they inevitably create something special, and last weekend's retreat was no exception. It was a gentle day, spent out of the heat of this summer, honouring the lives of women of the past, enjoying each other's creativity, and nurturing ourselves. I take strength from those stories, woven into our beautiful Downland landscape, and stand a little bit taller in the shoes of those amazing Sussex women. If you want to share with your visitors." - Claire, TMW Core Team

"A day set aside for “me time” is a welcome retreat from the bustle of life. It takes an awareness of our need for self-care, and a little determination to make it happen. Last weekend TMW provided such a day. It was a wonderful reminder of just how important that time can be for ourselves.
​
As always at our meetings and events new friendships were made, old friendships have been enjoyed once again. It was a very special day retreat. " - Janelle, TMW Core Team
