You are invited to experience a culturally empowering four-day Women’s Retreat with the legendary Patricia Arredondo, EdD in historic Mexico City, Mexico. Immerse yourself in the city´s art, culture and flavors while exploring how women have thrived and transcended the barriers they face within organizations and society. Access ways to recognize your own power and empower other women. Gain a mindset for leadership and ideas on how to become changemakers within organizations, academic settings or business communities.
Description: The purpose of this workshop is to examine historic literature and contemporary research about the strengths and contributions of Latinas to families, communities, and to women’s psychological empowerment. Four historic and ground-breaking figures will be highlighted—Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Antonieta Rivas Mercado, Julia de Burgos and Frida Kahlo. Themes of their hidden dimensions of personal worth and leadership that have informed Latina Mujeristsa (feminist) perspectives and values will be explored.
