🌟 FINAL NOTE FROM HGW
You do NOT want to miss this year’s fall retreat.
Ask any Queen who attended 2021 — it was life-changing.
We encourage you to bring your favorite dish or drink to share if you desire (optional).
We can’t wait to meet you, greet you, and most importantly…
HEAL WITH YOU.
There are no refunds, so we recommend purchasing travel insurance for emergencies or unexpected life events.
