Christ Church to Host a Women’s Conference: “Mind, Body, Spirit”

On Saturday, March 2nd, 250 women of all ages and demographics will gather to spend the day on Christ Church’s 10-acre campus in the heart of Greenwich, to attend a series of talks and workshops presented by acclaimed thought leaders based on this year’s theme, Mind, Body, & Spirit.

Each participant registers for her own selections for a personalized experience, created to inspire, support, and honor women.

The conference price, $110, includes breakfast and lunch. You can choose to stay a half day or a whole day, but the price is the same.

Last year’s event was sold out. We anticipate the same enthusiasm this year.
