Retreat Overview

4 nights
An in-depth retreat immersion specifically tailored to women
Facilitated by Dr Michelle Woolhouse and Caroline Hales
Five days of personal-exploration, reconnection and self-empowerment

This longer-format women’s retreat provides the time and space to rest, reflect and connect with likeminded women as you embark on a transformational five-day retreat.

Join facilitators Dr Michelle Woolhouse and Caroline Hales for five days of personal-exploration, reconnection and self-empowerment. Replenish your body, mind and soul with delicious plant-based wholefoods, meditation and yoga, experiential self-reflection, and informative health talks.

Our daily self-inquiry and personal process sessions will support you:

in creating or deepening your personal meditation practice to nourish and sustain you in your process of change.
to release images, beliefs and expectations of yourself that no longer serve you at this time in your life
in recognising your courage, strength and innate wisdom
with simple breathing techniques to energise your body and mind which release built up tension and stress
to learn practical tools which support your long term health & wellbeing
in caring for yourself with kindness and a sense of gratefulness
with insightful health talks on the science of stress, women’s health and the connectivity of the physical body.

You will go home:

feeling rested and renewed
with increased zest for living and a lightness in your emotionality
feeling more secure in your meditation and mindfulness practice
with practical tips on remaining centred in yourself
with more confidence in your sense of self and your values
with a clearer vision for the next steps in your life path
having experienced the gift of reconnection to community
