Come to the NEXT Chapter Retreat in September 2025!

Fellow women over 50: let’s be real. Aging comes with its challenges and “aging gracefully” has long been the goal, but it’s time to flip the script. It’s not just about accepting the years as they come; it’s about “aging with intention”. This mindset shift invites us to actively shape our journey—it’s about embracing, growing and finding strength in the wisdom and resilience you’ve gained along the way.

Join 9 other women in September 2025 for a long weekend where you will plan your "third chapter" intentionally. Designed and facilitated by Karen A. Geiger and Linda Christopherson, you will have time to think about what is most important to you in your next chapter. More information at https://nextchapterretreat.org/

Come to NEXT 2025!

For centuries, philosophers and scientists have attempted to answer the question of why we're here. Some have claimed that good health or growth is our purpose, while others see it as a divine blessing or a means of passing on our genes. Yet, no matter the answer, one thing is consistent: we're meant to connect with each other.

It's part of our nature to build relationships. From a young age, children naturally form bonds with their parents and caregivers—and this pattern continues throughout our lives. We constantly seek companionship and support as we go through life's stages together.

If you are woman 50+ years old, our NEXT retreat (Sept. 18-21) offers you that companionship and support as you enter your "third chapter". Give yourself that gift and register for your spot soon - we limit our group to 10 and there are only a few spots left. More information at https://nextchapterretreat.org/ or DM me or Linda Christopherson.
