What would it look like to make room for the things we often rush through: movement, a shared meal, and time with friends?
That's the inspiration behind something special I'm planning for the Empower community: a women's wellness retreat in Puglia, Italy, June 12–19, 2027, hosted by Kendra Foster.
The vision is to bring together fitness classes, Italian cooking experiences, and time to enjoy a beautiful place with good company. A chance to step away from our usual routines, try something new, and spend time together beyond the studio.
I'm envisioning fitness classes, hands-on cooking experiences, and space in the schedule to explore, relax, and enjoy being together. The goal is a thoughtful balance of activity and downtime, with opportunities to connect along the way.
