Holly Gates Huffman For the Master Naturalist crew at the Women's Wellness Weekend---we found a Marbled Orbweaver making a giant web in our front yard today. It looked like a tiny pumpkin hanging from fishing line. So cool!

Read the evals and your class was a giant hit. (Not that it surprised me) Asked Annette for your address so I could send them.

I've been using my lotion every day. The aroma is really great at night to help relax me for sleep. Your detailed and extensive handout is awesome. I'm glad it rained Sunday morning or I wouldn't have made your session. Thanks!

Virginia State Parks Women's Wellness Weekends Blog post on our Westmoreland Women's Wellness Weekend 9/25-27/2009

blog.virginiaparks.org
We could have had nicer weather. Then again, it’s September and Westmoreland State Park so we could have had a hurricane, so maybe a little rain was not the end of the world. Eighty-six women attended the Westmoreland State Park Women’s Wellness Weekend on September 25-27, 2009. ...

Amelia, you can cook dinner for my family anytime, as long as you bring some wine and promise to point as us a lot when you talk!

Bev Wonderful, wonderful weekend. I am missing everyone already. Before I left I walked to the end of the lane and saw an eagle, then saw another one at the boat lauch, and yet another one at the overlook behind the construction site. They seemed to be enjoying the first sunshine to hit the cliffs in a few days.

Wold have loved to do the one at Westmoreland but when I called a few weekends ago, there was nobody else on a list to share room cost.

I've been surprised how many folks come with groups. When we started we weren't sure how that would work. We still have camping cabins left which are a lower cost alternative for an individual.

Holly Gates Huffman I'm signing up for this event and am very excited about it. Anyone care to share a suggested packing list?

We will send out a suggested packing list with your registration packet. You will probably want to bring a camera, a yoga mat or beach towel if you will be doing yoga, a flashlight is good to have. If you will be kayaking, synthetic clothing (something other than cotton), light jacket. I usually take my special pillow. Looking forward to seeing you there!

“Wellness” is a term that we often hear these days, but what is wellness really? How do we attain it? Should it come naturally, or is it something we have to work at?

Lisa Magsi anyone know if any are held in Northern Virginia?

Not yet. We don't have a park with lodging in northern Virginia but may get to some day programs in 2011. Westmoreland SP is an easy drive though - 30 minutes east of Fredericksburg.
