What We’ll Explore Together
Healing the Aging Wound
We’ll gently excavate the messages that have taught us to fear aging and alchemize them through shadow work, ritual, and honest reflection. Together, we’ll reclaim aging as a path to power, beauty, and embodied wisdom.
Plant-Powered Beauty & Seasonal Self-Care
Together, we will explore beauty practices through the lens of adornment and self-care, not as something we must engage in to look younger. Learn to tend your changing body and skin with grace and ritual, rooted in the cycles of nature and the wisdom of herbs.
The Soul of Midlife: Wisdom Keeper Practices
Through guided inner journeys, ancestral reflection, and future-self dialogues, you’ll harvest the hard-won wisdom of your life thus far and envision what wants to come next. You’ll leave with tools to navigate this life stage with clarity, confidence, and soul alignment.
Your Retreat Experience
Each day flows from deep inner work to hands-on creativity to nourishing community connection.
- Mornings: Guided practices in shadow work, journaling, and wisdom retrieval
- Afternoons: Herbal beauty crafting, face and body care ritual, lessons on building your own beauty apothecary.
- Evenings: Firelight storytelling, sacred integration, and circle sharing
Who This Is For
Women who feel the stirrings of change and want to meet them with power, not fear.
Women ready to break up with age shame and rewrite their relationship to beauty and visibility.
Women who crave depth, truth, creativity, and sisterhood as they cross this threshold.
*This retreat will be offered to women, women identifying individuals, and non-binary people who are comfortable in a space that centers the experience of women.
The Invitation
Come as you are. Your lines, softness, silver strands and full hearts are welcome. Leave with a new way of seeing yourself: radiant, resourced, and rooted in your own story.
