Wise Woman Retreat
Mid-life. Our mother's generation politely refers to it as, ‘the change of life'. Traditional Chinese Medicine calls it, ‘The Second Spring'. Carl Jung, in one of his infamous quotes, refers to this human rite of passage as stepping into ‘the afternoon of life' and points to the fact that we are ‘thoroughly unprepared' for the inevitable shift from the morning of life into the afternoon.
No matter the handle, it all points to the same thing; the stage of life in which building career, family, and wealth is replaced by the yearning for a deeper sense of passion, purpose, and meaning.
From traditional literature to Hollywood's on-screen portrayal, we are familiar with the archetypal Hero's Journey. We are also well aware that for the Hero's Journey to be successful, the humble hero requires wise counsellors, teachers, the right tools, and trusty travelling companions. This retreat weekend is an opportunity to explore your own Hero's Journey, to learn some new tools, and to spend time in the company of other Wise Women (those all-important travelling companions) in a circle of potent female eldership. Together, we will acknowledge and celebrate your life journey and the stunning metamorphosis of stepping into and claiming your own extraordinary afternoon.
This retreat experience is for you if...
-
You have had a catalyst (that unmistakable ‘call to adventure') land in your life
-
You are feeling distinctly unfulfilled by a life that once satisfied you
-
You are yearning to put yourself, and your needs, before everyone else's (maybe for the very first time in your life)
-
You are wondering what the remaining decades of your life could possibly look like (and maybe even worrying that your best days are behind you)
-
You are hungering for the community of other women to start exploring your wisdom years
You will come away with...
-
A new perspective on your own Hero's Journey
-
An awakening ability to tune to the voice of your inner Wise Woman
-
A sense of calm and purpose after a weekend spent in the company of other Wise Women in a stunningly beautiful setting

Testimonial
"
This retreat provided more that I could have imagined. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I signed up but did so without huge expectations, the weekend exceeded my expectations tremendously. Katie facilitated the program to what WE needed, not what she planned, was not scripted or overly chained to an agenda." ~ Michelle
