The weekend getaway is promoted as holding high potential for complete renewal of jaded souls.
Sheila, being a marketing director of an event management company, is weary of the hype being created around the all-women’s event.
Will it be another bonding opportunity with an audience, where they get to offload whatever’s ruining their peace of mind?
Will it be another replay of downloaded content by a few celebrities and then the organisers to promote themselves as ambassadors of women empowerment?
Women dancing around a fireplace with flowers in their hair and fire in their eyes, discarding pages with old stories and designing promos for their next blockbuster is the last thing she anticipated.
An island awaits their arrival as the awakened souls might not be welcomed back in outmoded, claustrophobic set-ups with territorial mindsets – it is a moment of farewell.

A weekend getaway on an island sounds delightful though. 😉

So intelligent and thought provoking take, Reena. Hype will be there if real picture is not known. What we know mostly from Page3 type movies. And yes people are afraid of independent mind set person. It gives them inferiority complex. Especially if that prson is -she.

“…dancing around a fireplace with flowers in their hair and fire in their eyes, discarding pages with old stories”
excellent description. the price of self-development is more difficult for those who are a member of an established order. not a surprise that mystics tend to be loners and hermits
thought-provoking as always

Thank you, Clark!
Certain acts just become symbolic of freedom. By itself, it may not mean so much.

I wonder if anyone can be non-judgmental who lets stuff ruin their peace of mind, but who knows what can happen on a weekend getaway.

Sad, but true. Actually, people don’t know how to deal with a truly independent person – someone who does not need them. They feel unwanted.
