Additional Info

Attire. We want the retreat to be a respite from the everyday. Dress is very casual, so please wear comfortable clothes that make you feel happy. And of course, if you are Zooming from your place of business and need to be a little more dressed up, that’s fine, too!

What to bring. Just your fabulous self! You are welcome to bring snacks, drinks, and “coworkers” as needed. (Note: We are snail-mailing you a personal Amplify journal. If it doesn’t arrive in time, please bring paper and a pen for the reflection activities.)

Registering. Registration for the retreat is $399 and must be paid by the sponsoring institution. The fee is waived for women of color. The deadline to pay the fee is February 10, 2023.
