The retreat experience was developed to share diabetes wisdom through holistic health & wellness guidance, creative activities, quiet contemplation, peer support and encouragement to fearlessly discover who we are and what we are capable of as women living with diabetes. THE ANNUAL WISE WOMEN OF DIABETES RETREAT is designed to help a woman with diabetes choose healthy selfcare strategies that can easily be incorporated into her personal life. We learn about: mindbody awareness through various forms of energizing activities such as tai chi, yoga, and creative dance; making balanced nutritional food choices for healthy eating; and practicing mindfulness techniques for stress reduction, artistic expression, and self healing. The retreat offers dynamic diabetes selfmanagement education and peer support in a unique model that promotes selfdiscovery, awareness, respect, and empowerment. THE RETREAT FACILITATORS include accomplished health professionals from the fields of nursing, dietetics & nutrition, art therapy, exercise & fitness, and psychotherapy, many of whom are Certified Diabetes Educators. One thing all presenters have in common is that they live with diabetes themselves and "walk their talk" whether they have Type 1, Type 2, Pre diabetes, Insulin Resistance, or LADA. DURING THE RETREAT participants will learn, grow, and gain insights for selfcare through meaningful discussions, diabetes wisdom sharing, and handson activities. Each woman can expect to experience a sense of renewal and delight in a beautiful setting of stillness that takes her to a deeper connection with nature, her diabetes sisters, and the strength within herself. $295 Founders and Facilitators Connie HanhamCain, MSN, RN, CDE Janet Doucette, MA, LMHC Cindi GoldmanPatin, MSN, RN, BA, CDE Judith Jones Ambrosini, Author, Chef, Diabetes Advocate Gita Patel, MS, RD, CDE, CLT Ann Marie DiNino BS, MA
