Join us on April 5th, from 8:30 a.m. – 1 p.m., for our third annual Women of WUDA retreat: “Better Together: Unique capabilities, collaborative success.” Here are some highlights you can look forward to:

• PACE Palette Training Series, facilitated by Melissa Bowman
  The PACE Palette Training Series is an engaging workshop designed to help participants explore their unique communication and temperament styles. Through interactive sessions led by our very own Melissa Bowman, you’ll gain deeper insights into your own personality while connecting with others who share similar traits. 
• Amplifying Women Leaders Panel
  This year, instead of a traditional keynote address, we’re shifting the focus to amplify the voices of as many women as possible. Our event will feature a dynamic panel of 3-4 inspiring women leaders from across campus. Each panelist will share a 10-15 minute presentation followed by an engaging Q&A panel discussion.
• Interactive Learning Session, facilitated by Alicia Ott, MA, LPC, LCPC
  Alicia Ott, MA, LPC, LCPC, WashU Medicine Staff Therapist, will deliver a talk focused on communication and boundaries. Following her presentation, Alicia will lead a short breakout workshop, offering practical tools and strategies to help participants navigate these important topics in their personal and professional lives.
  
• Herbal Scented Sachets, facilitated by Missouri Botanical Garden
  We’re excited to welcome the Missouri Botanical Garden for a hands-on activity where participants can create their own scented sachets using herbs. Along the way, you’ll learn about the therapeutic benefits of smell and how incorporating natural scents into your life can promote relaxation and well-being. 
• Headshots
  Upgrade your professional profile with a free headshot session! This is a great opportunity to refresh your LinkedIn, resume, or website with a polished, professional photo.
• Yoga, facilitated by Charlotte Stout, RYT-200
  Take a break and join us for a rejuvenating yoga session suitable for all skill levels. Led by our very own Charlotte Stout, this guided practice will help you connect with your body, relieve stress, and cultivate a sense of peace and focus.
• Sound Bath, facilitated by Grace S. Franklin DNAP, CRNA, RYT-500
  Immerse yourself in a calming sound bath experience designed to help you relax, recharge, and find inner balance. Let the soothing vibrations of sound wash over you as you enjoy a moment of mindfulness and tranquility.
• Group project/mural

  Tap into your creativity and collaborate with others on a group mural project. Together, we’ll create a vibrant piece of art that reflects the event’s theme and celebrates community and connection.
