THE ARETE INITIATIVE FOR WOMEN

Change every aspect of your life, all at once. YES YOU CAN

The Arete Institiute presents:

IT'S TIME TO INVEST FULLY IN YOURSELF

 

Eight weeks ago, four women made a commitment to: 

 

  • Observe a “rugged and regular,” daily spiritual discipline 

  • Work out regularly

  • Eat a clean diet

  • Get every aspect of their lives organized

  • Identify and shift the habits and patterns that have kept them from reaching their highest potential up to this point

  • Define their purpose/passion and identify (and take!) the necessary action steps to get where they want to go 


Those were some ambitious goals they set for themselves, and that’s a lot to take on at once. But as participants in the Arete Initiative for Women, they have experienced 100% follow through. Imagine setting all of those resolutions at one time—and keeping them!

 

 

"...this is a necessary and deeply meaningful gift to give yourself. It's so easy to get caught up in taking care of everyone else -- and there's nothing wrong with that -- but to give back to yourself by learning how to nurture YOU, and to honor commitments YOU make to YOURSELF..."

 

Kimberly Durso, Arete Initiative participant

 

"Participating in Arete is a transformational experience.  Often programs will focus on one area; health or just life plan or spiritual practice; Arete throws it all on the table... The program focuses on the whole person so that we can show up as our whole selves and our best selves in the world. I feel more calm, organized and am living on purpose.  My husband has commented how great I am doing and look...participating in Arete has even enhanced our relationship and how I connect with him and my girls.  I now prioritize my self care."
