Professional Development for Women in Academia
15-20th of November, 2025
From Conference Exhaustion to Retreat Restoration
You’ve probably been to dozens of conferences— and left feeling more tired than inspired.
Let’s compare:
Typical Academic Conference
The Recharge and Refocus Retreat
Stuffy rooms and tight schedules
Beautiful surroundings and open space
Stressful prep and performance mode
Gentle, no-pressure presence
Endless panels and passive listening
Interactive, reflective sessions rooted in your reality
Superficial networking and business cards
Real, soul-level connection with like-minded women
Performing your “academic self”
Rediscovering who you really are as a scholar
Leaving drained and overloaded
Leaving rested, clear, and energized
This retreat isn’t another event to perform at. It’s a pause. A return. A deep breath in the middle of your academic life.
You won’t need your “conference face.” Just bring yourself. As you are.
