Re: geneen's Seattle workshop

[Guest guest]

Hi MJ,

I was also at that workshop. Like you, I found it really useful and not nearly

long enough. I was a bit worried that it wouldn't be worth the money (I flew in

from San Francisco and stayed in the hotel, so the costs really added up!), but

I think it was worth every penny. I wish I could have Geneen coaching me every

day. I plan to write more about it on my blog when I have a few free minutes.

For anyone that is interested, Geneen has a six week online retreat that you can

purchase on her website (it's podcast or MP3 downloads and worksheets, only, not

a CD set). I actually plan on doing this. It's not necessarily cheap at $147,

but compared to the $1600 (not including room, board, and travel) it costs to

attend one of her in person retreats, it seems like a bargain and I need all the

help I can get.

Hi Josie,

we stayed at the hotel, too. We drove down from Vancouver. I wish I'd known you

were there. Have you done a blog on it yet? The girl in front of me was

blogging I think as it was going on. And Geneen mentioned that she had read

someone's blog. What a great way to spend a weekend. BOY, she is amazing & sure

didn't disappoint me. I wish I'd had the courage to mention this group when she

was talking about support & the FB group. I'm in both & this one seems so much

easier to navigate for me.

cheers

I just posted about my experience.

I agree that she did not disappoint. I'm SO tempted to do her fall retreat next

year. I remember they mentioned that there were only ten spots left. But the

price and having to make the commitment so far in advance gives me pause. But

the location is only a couple hours drive from me and is right on the ocean.

Have never been, but if you like nature, it's supposed to be gorgeous (though I

understand the facility is one people either love or hate). And, if I think

about all the money I've spent in my lifetime on other diet plans and what have

you, it's probably a bargain. But I'm going to have to ponder a bit more. Am

definitely going to do the online retreat, though.

I remember Geneen saying she had read someone's blog. I wondered which ones she

read and how she decided. Wondered if she just randomly googles and reads what

looks interesting. So odd to think that she could have seen my blog! LOL

I, too, stopped by the FB page and agree that it didn't seem as helpful as our

group. Besides, I have a thing about FB. I just have no desire to get involved

with it. Seems like more time than I have to give and I have concerns about the

lack of privacy. So it's just as well that we're in the right spot!
