Women’s coworking retreat
Women’s Coworking Retreat
If you are working on a writing project, putting together a grant or business proposal, completing job or school applications, or even trying to map out your social media posts, this retreat is for you! The goal is to give you time away from your daily life…where you may be pulled in a hundred different directions…and dedicated space to make progress on something that often gets pushed aside.
We will spend time getting to know one another and sharing our personal goals for the retreat, as focus and accountability are critical to productivity. Sessions will include guided goal-setting, selecting personal wellness activities to support your mental health (such as going to the gym, taking a walk, reading a book, or calling family), and scheduled coworking time, typically in two-hour blocks. The hotel has a 24/7 gym if that is one of your wellness activities!
We will have a private meeting room with a terrace for meals and coworking sessions. Snacks and caffeine will be provided. Each participant will also have their own private room at Wayfinder Newport in Rhode Island for both nights.

Working retreats helped us finish our dissertations, build our individual private practices, and develop our roles as faculty members. We know the effect that going to new surroundings and removing the daily noise can have on productivity.
We hope you will join us and feel empowered to get stuff done!
