Dear Alyne Retreat

Dear Ayne is a content creator I follow.  She makes videos on travel, women's issues, social issues, and any other interesting topic.  She ran a women's empowerment retreat for women to meet each other, and we had workshops on a variety of topics, such as self improvement, personal finance and investing, goal setting, acro-yoga, and meditation, among others.  This was such a wonderful experience for me based on where I am in my life.  It was a chance to step away from regular life, relax, and reset.  This is a special group of women - we are all very different, yet very similar in that we all want to improve ourselves.  We ask questions, share knowledge, and support each other without judgement.  And we are still in touch with a WhatsApp group chat!  We share successes and frustrations, ask finance and business questions, and we even have a weekly co-working session where we log in with our web cam on, but we all work on our own different projects.  By working on camera, we can help each other focus and stay motivated.  Sometimes it is easier to work when you have a study buddy to hold you accountable.  I left the retreat with new friends and feeling motivated and excited about things I wanted to change in my life.  This retreat was the first week of my project, and I am very glad I had the opportunity to meet these wonderful people.  This week was the perfect way to reset my life and start my project.
