Episode 95: Old Moms, New Tricks with Alison Rosen

Retreat Experience

The retreat in the woods offered a refreshing escape for Doree Shafrir and Kate Spencer, providing a mix of relaxation and adventure. Doree shared her experience of participating in various activities like yoga and a crystal workshop, which helped her step out of her comfort zone 1. Despite the luxurious cabin accommodations, the experience was tiring, prompting Doree to take a nap the following day.

It was refreshing, reinvigorating, at times. Terrifying. You just are out of your comfort zone. But it was really fun.

--- Doree Shafrir

Kate, on the other hand, became known for her travel humidifier, a thoughtful addition that proved essential in the dry air 2.

   

Nature Connection

Connecting with nature was a significant aspect of the retreat, offering a serene backdrop for reflection and relaxation. Kate expressed her enjoyment of outdoor activities, including yoga and walks in the beautiful California mountains, which she found refreshing and rejuvenating 3. The retreat also featured a poker tournament, where Alison Rosen participated and won $20, adding a fun and competitive element to the experience 4.

I tried to spend time outside. I did yoga outside. I went for walks. I climbed a tree into a treehouse. So I feel pretty good about it.

--- Kate Spencer

Both Doree and Kate appreciated the opportunity to disconnect from their daily routines and immerse themselves in the natural surroundings.
