The Portland YWCA has collaborated with the group and will ¡provide some of the staff for the weekend, “We hope to do this every Vandals smash door year,” Vogt said. “It is a very powerful positive experience for women.” There are a variety of work shops planned for the weekend dealing with the mind, body, and emotion. Some of the different workshops are Techniques for Relaxation, Health and Humor, Your Dreams are Meaningful, and Caring for Your Body. There will also be lots of music, free mas sages, and good food. “The charm of Camp West wind is that it is relatively iso lated, and the only people on the beach will be women on the re treat,” said Vogt. The retreat was organized by Vogt, Nancy Baker, news coordi nator, Lisa Wilcox, publications designer, and Ellen Burbridge, counselor. There about 100 women going on the retreat, and registra tion is closed. “This is a unique event,” said Vogt “Most of the women going have never done anything like this. They say ‘I’m going to do this for me’.” “Several of the people going have gone on other Focus events, and had a good experience so they’re going again,” said Vogt. “It is a celebration of choices for women. It will be an educa tional, emotional, and spiritual experience,” said Burbridge.
