Brenda Kauffman is a professor of political science at Flagler College. Over the past twenty years, I have traveled extensively around the world, combining my passion for global learning with education by leading nearly a dozen student travel programs abroad. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for cultural connection, personal reflection, and the transformative power of shared experiences.

I strongly believe in the importance of women gathering to inspire and support one another while creating safe spaces for emotional, spiritual, and intellectual growth. I am honored to be part of this retreat experience and look forward to the meaningful connections and conversations it will bring.
