Joan Anderson All women, all ages, seek more inner peace and less external chaos. Joan Anderson, a journalist, author and professional inspirational speaker, helps us find these illusive qualities through her keynotes, workshops, women's and executive retreats, and four beautifully written books-- “A Year by the Sea,” “An Unfinished Marriage,” “A Walk on the Beach,” and “A Weekend to Change Your Life.” After a year alone at the ocean intuiting her way back home, Joan realized that her path and process could be replicated by others. Joan's 9-point prescription for mind-body-spirit renewal offers an empowering, powerful and inspirational solution to what ails women at many ages and stages of their lives. It also demonstrates that a year long trip to the sea is not the only way to achieve peace of mind and heart. In sharing her story and discoveries, Joan leads her audiences to a place of natural healing, spiritual renewal, inspiration and personal growth, often relying on images from nature - the playfulness of ocean seals, the grace of the wind in the pines or the tranquility of the night noises. Her warm sense of humor and caring are always in play as she appreciatee the ironies of our lives and the inherent beauty in transformation. Her career began as a stringer reporter for the Gannett newspaper chain. As she practiced the craft of writing, she moved on to photo essays books for children, then the breakthrough book, “Breaking the TV Habit,” and finally into the genre of memoir. “The latter happened quite by accident after I ran away from home, lived a year by the sea on my own, and realized that there was something in this experience worth writing about,” she says. “So many women I knew wanted or needed to stop the craziness of their lives but had not the will or the ability to do so. By writing my story it has given hundreds of thousands of women the excuse to take themselves away, have their turn, and see who they are beyond the roles that they play.” The four books that have come out of her experiences have all been best sellers and many have been printed in foreign languages. She’s been on Oprah twice, as well as the Today Show, and numerous other national and regional shows. In addition to speaking on women’s topics for organizations throughout the country, she conducts weekends by the sea on Cape Cod where she lives and weekend retreats in other parts of the country and abroad. “My six step process is all about retreating in order to retrieve lost strength, repair our inner selves, and then regroup by lightening our load, regenerating our spirits, and returning new to an old place. A weekend by the sea (and elsewhere) helps a woman rearrange her life in her own image. “I guess you could say that I am truly ‘as unfinished as the shoreline along the beach, meant to transcend myself again and again.' It is my delight to encourage women to know they too are unfinished,” she says. Joan's message of inspiration, personal growth, and mind body spirit connection speaks to anyone who needs to reflect, replenish, renew, rejuvenate, and reconnect.
