Lesbian/Queer Learning, Connection & Fun: 5-Day Retreat Near Tampa

What would it be like...
...To spend four nights and five days in a peaceful retreat center on the Manatee River, surrounded by thoughtful lesbians and queer women curious about themselves and about you, building real community and friendships in a safe, supportive environment?

Dancing. Walking. Swimming. Sun-bathing. Canoeing. Playing conversation games that help you really get to know people. Campfires and even s'mores at night. And attending what some members have called "lesbian university," with classes that help you make lasting changes to create the dating and love life you really want.

This retreat is especially for single lesbians and queer women seeking community and friendship, though couples are warmly welcome, too. Academy Director Ruth L. Schwartz, author of the book Conscious Lesbian Dating & Love, will be teaching core CGA concepts and frameworks for healthy, happy lesbian/queer dating, relationships, conflict resolution and attachment.

Here's What Previous Retreat-Goers Have Said:

"The last retreat was my first time, and I absolutely loved it. Went with an open heart and mind not knowing what to expect. Met so many wonderful women from all over the country. I have a beautiful new group of friends that are emotionally present and whom I adore. I recommend you invest in yourself and your happiness, and join!" - Edie

"I've been to the last two Conscious Girlfriend Academy retreats. They've both been incredibly fun, helpful, deepening, opening, expanding, life-changing. And, I have new circles of friends from these retreats who are amazing women. We've stayed in touch, get together, talk, dance, hang out, truly support each other. True community." - Sandy

"Looking at the retreat photos is like opening a bottle of love and sunshine to see everyone’s faces again and all those moments of joy, authentic connecting and expression in that exceptional natural setting. We all have opened the portal to the world we need, want, deserve and can continue to co-create, and there’s no going back!" - D.
