FAQ

What exactly is the Every Woman in the World Conference?

The Every Woman in the World Conference is an annual Whistler conference getaway inviting all women to share in the experience of learning new activities and skills by participating in back-to-back introductory mind and movement workshops.

The concept of the Every Woman weekend is to celebrate and learn from each other's unique differences by providing a healthy and comfortable setting for women to share their expertise with other women and inspire individual growth, reflection, support and motivation.

The mission of Every Woman is to provide the opportunity for 'every woman' to access her passions and pursuits. By providing a non-judgmental forum for 'every woman' to inspire each other, the event is meant to catalyze self-reflection and encourage action for every woman to fulfill her life's dreams.

As the conference has evolved, we have come to realize that our focus is really to inspire women through physical fitness and activity. You know when you go on a hike or a ski or a bike ride or a run with one of your best friends, it is always so satisfying to grab a tea or coffee or beer after, and just take a load off. After that physical exertion in the outdoors, you feel like you can take on the world! This is our idea - be active, learn new things and thus become better equipped to take on all of life's challenges.

What is the theme or focus of Every Woman, and why was it chosen?
Movement is the theme - just like every year, it hasn't changed, so get moving! - because active women have fun.

Where do we stay?

We are pleased to share that the host hotel for The Every Woman in the World Conference is The Delta Whistler Village Suites. Should you choose the package Every Woman - You Can Do It All, you will be placed in a One Bedroom Suite based on Double Occupancy. If you have more than 2 people who would like to share a room or you would like to upgrade to a Two Bedroom Suite, please e-mail info@everywomanintheworld.com with the number of people in your party. Located in the heart of Whistler Village, the Delta Suites is within walking distance to everything we need in Whistler.

Stay for $99 per night! If you would like to arrange accommodation on your own, (i.e. sign-up for the Keep It Simple Package and then book your hotel by yourself...) the Delta Whistler Village Suites is offering Every Woman participants a rate of $99 to stay in one of their Delta Rooms (1 queen bed). Secret: They ALSO have a limited number of Delta Rooms that have TWO single beds....so if you are on a budget, this is the way to fly, er, we mean sleep... Call 1-888-890-3222 and reference 'Every Woman' to get the $99 rate. Or visit the Delta Hotels Website for more details about the hotel.

Where are the workshops held?
Most indoor workshops will be conducted at The Delta Whistler Village Suites and Telus Whistler Conference Centre. Most outdoor workshops will meet at The Delta Whistler Village Suites, unless otherwise specified (we will let you know).

Tell me more about the Celebration of Movement - Evening Dinner.
Dinner on Saturday night is always a great time to relax, socialize, eat delicious food (after a very active day) and have fun. Get dressed up (Whistler-style: which means dress up or dress down depending on what makes you feel comfortable, you'll see a lot of sundresses with sweaters or pants with nice tops, and some people will be dressed for go-go dancing after the dinner) and enjoy the evening. We always have an excellent guest speaker and the event is usually sold out due to limited space, so sign-up early! Note: The dinner is included in the You Can Do It All package but not the Keep It Simple package. Drinks are not included.

Why does the Every Woman in the World Conference support Beauty Night Society and Dress For Success?
Beauty Night Society is like a mini-Every Woman that happens every week in the downtown lower east side of Vancouver. Beauty Night helps women feel good about themselves by offering (mostly) sex trade workers, drug and alcohol addicts and street folks an opportunity to get their hair cut, put on make-up, get a hand or neck massage, attend a yoga class or martial arts class, etc. Beauty Night is always looking for volunteers (women who can teach classes or do hair or donate make-up/cosmetics) to help these women build some confidence and get them off the street. We sponsor a woman or two every year (you don't/won't usually know who she is unless you ask) to come up to Every Woman, and you can believe that it is a huge treat!

Dress For Success is for women who for whatever reason need some help getting back into the workforce. They teach whomever needs the help to learn how to dress appropriately for the right job, how to write a resume and conduct an interview. Dress For Success has helped woman world wide. We think that Dress For Success is the bridge between the ladies who go to Beauty Night Society (if you've ever been down to the Lower East side, it is like a war zone of addiction down there and most people don't ever get out...) and 'you and me' (one who can afford to attend Every Woman). Dress For Success and Beauty Night are very much 'no questions asked', if you are seeking help, they will help you, and we think that that's how all women should be supporting each other. Maybe you need help, maybe you don't, but if you join Every Woman, we know that you will learn something new, and it will be something that you remember to help you in your life.

I have an idea for a workshop, can I share?
Of course! This is about sharing and working together, and growing and learning. What is your expertise? What can you share with the group? Please e-mail info@everywomanintheworld.com with your ideas.
