This October is the "When..."
Come as you are. Be who you want to be.
Like-minded women from all over the United States come to find the group of friends they've always longed for; smart, supportive, open-minded, kind, reaching for all that life has to offer, determined to pursue their dreams.
Most of all, these women believe in themselves, and they are are ready to believe in you.
They come for a variety of reasons, but common to all is a desire for community, an openness to learn from one another, and a longing for real connections that will endure and provide inspiration and support long after our time together in the woods in Woodstock.

Eldercare Family Drama – I’d Rather A More Boring Tale
Two weeks ago, my friend Jerry’s 89-year-old mother fell down a staircase. I know, horrifying. Miraculously, she suffered no broken bones. But her cuts, bruises, and wrenched muscles will take a long time to heal. She’s in a lot of pain, on top of the usual limitations from a past shoulder injury and, well, just[…]

Deborah Blankenberg
Deborah Blankenberg has been studying Israeli dance for almost two years, and she’s so good that when her teacher is unable to be in class, she teaches in her stead. Deborah also studied other forms of dance — ballet, jazz, tap, various folk dance styles — for many years when she was younger. And, of[…]
Dancing In the Moonlight – Doing the Hora
Well, maybe dancing at twilight… If you’ve ever been to a Jewish wedding or attended a bar or bat mitzvah, you’ve danced (or at least watched) the hora. But there’s so much more to Israeli dance, so here’s a fun workshop: Deborah Blankenberg, grew up doing the hora at every big gathering she attended, took[…]
Creative Circles – an Old-Fashioned Bee, Multiplied
A few weeks ago we asked what everyone thought about having a sort of an old-fashioned bee at Women At Woodstock, only ramped up; more than one circle, each centered around one type of task or creative endeavor; women sharing and doing and chatting side-by-side. We asked for a vote on the best name. The[…]
Become a Runner After 50, or 60, or…
I don’t know about you, but I haven’t been running for years, and at age 60+ I haven’t felt for a long time that it’s likely I’ll start up again. Not only would it be just plain hard to do, I think I’d probably cause some sort of injury if I tried to run now.[…]
Mary Harvey Warren
At 60, Mary Harvey Warren became something she wasn’t at age 59; she became a runner. It was more than just starting to run as a way to get some exercise. It was an act of becoming something different. It changed her life. Says Mary, “I started running at age 60 to do something I’d never[…]
Jerk Alert – If You Own A Website, Beware of this Ripoff
Let me amend that title: If you simply own a domain; you know, like “awesomestuff.com,” even if you haven’t built a website on it yet, watch out. You might get a bogus invoice in the mail one day from a company claiming you’re a customer. One of my clients got one this week: Thank goodness[…]
Yoga
This is for everyone, fit or sedentary, plump or trim, limber or restricted in your movement. Yoga is a practice, not a requirement of perfection. When you start your day with this physically and mentally nourishing hour of peace and movement, you will feel right in your mind and body for the rest of the day.[…]
