I have been a client of Alive & Well Women's as well as a volunteer, so I know how great their programs are, as well as what a well-run organization it is. Their retreats and classes provide compassionate self-care, something that many of us in modern times, especially women, so badly need. I have participated in 2 retreats, both of which helped me be calmer, more self-aware and reconnect to my spiritual foundations. As a volunteer, I know that the board is thorough about building a good infrastructure so that they can help women for generations to come. Thanks to Cissy and the board for providing such nurturing programs for women!
