From July 7 to 11, the first training camp of the final group of participants of the third edition of the “Maturity Flower” project took place at Arche Hotel Krakowska in Warsaw – the only initiative in Poland aimed at women of retirement and pre-retirement age. The project aims to activate and empower mature women by personal development, building self-confidence, and fulfilling dreams. It is also a space for sharing experiences and joint action for socially important causes.
This year’s edition includes 24 participants who took part in numerous workshops, photo sessions, meetings, and integrative and relaxation activities during the multi-day camp in Warsaw.
The event is organized by Arche Hotel Krakowska, part of the Arche S.A. Group, known for social engagement and revitalizing historic buildings. The project partner is Mazovian Voivodeship Government.
The camp began with an organizational meeting, social media workshops, and a joint dinner. Participants took part in a professional photo and video session at Arche Hotel Poloneza. Behind the camera was Kamil Opas, with styling by 2024 edition participant Beata Romanek (Beassima). The day ended with inspiring pastry and ceramics workshops organized by Lena Grochowska Foundation.
The following days were full of attractions: a sightseeing bus tour Sightseeing, visits to Łazienki Królewskie and the Polish Vodka Museum, dinner at Restauracja Primitivo, relaxation at Royal Spa, and pilates. Participants also met a special guest – Urszula Dudziak, who spoke about feminine strength.
There was also a visit to the exceptional Janów Podlaski Castle, part of the Arche Group. The camp ended with first aid workshops (led by Małgorzata Jarocka, 2023 winner), relationship-building workshops (Elżbieta Gozdecka, 2024 winner), and a gala dinner with wine tasting by partner Wineland.
During the camp, past edition winners Małgorzata Jarocka and Katarzyna Jaskólska supported participants daily with their knowledge and experience.
