adventure abounds


One of the things i really want to start talking about in this blog is the awesome event that we are creating for October 2007 - an International Women's Summit.

Things are in the earlyish planning stages as yet, but we are 99% confirmed on the location for this event, which will be Hanmer Springs, in the South Island of New Zealand.

For those of you who have always had a visit to NZ on your wish list, this is the perfect excuse! Hanmer is a stunningly beautiful alpine village that will be just gorgeous in spring - clear blue skies, the occasional frosty morning ... enhanced by the wonderful thermal pools and spa complex that is the heart of the town.

The theme for the summit is Adventure, and this is truly a location where adventures abound ... from the very accessible walking or biking of forest trails, to heart stopping bungy jumping, jet boat riding down the river, quad biking over spectacular hillsides and so much more.

The process of drawing the threads of this event together is already an exciting one. The originators of this event are the women's institute - lead by the most fabulous Deb Barnes and her team based in Spokane, Washington state.

Please do keep checking my blog, and the I will be site for updates not only on the women's summit, but also on the other weekends and workshops being organised by the institute.
