Yes, absolutely.
One of the core programs we have is called “Lifeshop”. It's a weekend retreat. Eight to to 10 women come to the centre. For the most part, they don't know each other. They're scared. They're anxious. They're nervous about the weekend. They don't know what they're getting themselves into. By Sunday, they are sisters in arms. They are best friends. They hold onto each other before leaving. Then they follow up with other sessions, together with their new tribe.
In the other programs we have on the agenda is a “No Agenda Weekend”. Any graduate of our programs can come and just spend a weekend with other graduates at The Pepper Pod to build their network. They do a little mind-mapping of any transitions they're going through or new projects or adventures. They get a bit of executive coaching.
We have “Wonder Woman Wednesdays” once a month, when we have amazing women come to talk to them. We've had Jody Thomas. Minister Anand was supposed to come, but she unfortunately has bigger fish to fry this month. We're having Christine Whitecross, one of the top generals in the forces, come to coach women. Louise Arbour has committed to come as well.
We're all about networking and providing them a bit of coaching, mentoring and a new tribe of women who, for the most part, have gone through the same thing they went through.
