Shine on Women

On Saturday I went with Gina, Cynthia and Patti to this event called ShineOnWomen . An event organised by a group of girlfriends to get girlfriends together, enjoy nature and with fundraising that would benefit The Global Fund for Women . The setting was a private residence with acres and acres of beautiful nature in Woodside.

 

We started in the morning with yoga in nature, on top of the hill.

 

We could choose either yoga or a hike and I must say I would have loved the hike as well, but was very pleased with the nature-yoga experience.

Hanging out with girlfriends...
The estate had art scattered all over...have a look...
   
   
   
   
   
   
After yoga, it was time for a presentation by Paola Gianturco, who wrote the book Women Who Light The Dark . She has travelled to many countries where the Global Fund for Women have given grants to women and the work of these women is documented in her book.
And some lunch  
We took a quick hike after lunch  
What an inspirational day. Good friends, excercise, nature, a good cause...can it get better?
