Countdown to Women's Conference

In this month's podcast, we are so excited to speak with our upcoming Women's Conference Keynote Speaker, Lillian Savoie. Lillian is an entrepreneur whose energetic work overlaps with the mission and values that we hold dear at the Women’s Center. She is currently leading one of our special class series at the Center. Lillian is also the author of Fill Your Soul – The Feminine Way, a book written to awaken your feminine spirit and elevate your spiritual journey. Join us to learn more about Lillian, and how you can be a part of our upcoming Women’s Conference on Saturday, May 7th, 2022 at the Harbor Center in Slidell, Louisiana. This event has been designed to refresh, restore, and renew the woman’s soul! We are all looking forward to being able to be with each other in person again, following the long, dark night of our Covid lockdowns and restrictions. We are so excited to bring women together in person for a day of connection, community building and consciousness raising - a day just for women, by women - a women's day retreat!
