EMBRACING THE FREEDOM – with “Wise Women Retreats”
MAY 15TH – 17TH 2026
A retreat into understanding your menopause journey. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with the transition into midlife and menopause…you are not alone. Join us on a luxury weekend in Torquay where ‘rest, reconnection and rising’ into who you are becoming now are at the heart of what we offer.
About the Event
“Embrace the Freedom” is an empowering weekend retreat, specifically designed for women beyond 40, who are going through midlife, menopause and peri-menopause and all the mayhem and mis-understanding that comes with it!
This is a retreat to make you feel less alone in your journey into midlife, and to help with understanding that Menopause is not a crisis…it’s a calling, and that you are actually entering the most powerful phase of your life to date.
From the moment you arrive on retreat, you’re held in a nurturing space of warmth, beauty and intentional care. Through stories, journaling, time in nature and meditation, we will guide you to release old narratives, feel your inner knowing once more, and remember what it means to live in tune with our feminine rhythms.
- You’ll experience beach rituals, creativity, story medicine, wholefood meals and time to rest and reflect. By Sunday, you won’t just feel renewed—you’ll feel reclaimed…empowered by your own wisdom…surrounded by your ‘sisters’…and forever changed.
This is not just a retreat…it’s an awakening. And you, Wise Woman, are ready to take this next step in YOUR journey to RISE!
Your Weekend at a Glance
- Step into your luxury surroundings, take a deep breath in…and begin your journey back to yourself. This is a relaxed weekend of rest, sharing, learnings and a complete recharge for mind, body and soul. Friday evening is all about relaxing and surrendering to your surroundings and enjoying a beautiful evening sound healing before bed.
- During the weekend, we’ll invite you to journal, meditate, move, create and reflect – bringing alignment and insight for this chapter of your life. You’ll enjoy wholefood meals designed with midlife wellbeing in mind and take time to relax in the mineral pool or infrared sauna. On Saturday evening, we’ll share a communal dinner before gathering around the fire to release old patterns and welcome transformation with a little bit of ‘woo and woo hoo’!
- A beautiful, beach walking meditation on Sunday morning will help to remind you to remain present in your own life, retain the learnings from the weekend, and step into your new chapter with grace and confidence.

We believe in the transformational power of midlife, and this retreat honours your evolution with integrity, depth, and joy.
