Setting

To retreat is to withdraw from the everyday into a space where there is room for exploration, reflection and expansion. Retreating enables us to challenge narratives, ask questions and receive new answers. It allows us to tap into a deeper purpose instead of the old concept of ourselves. Retreat provides the rare protection necessary to foster these insights and ideas. In this space, our new voice can take form.

Expert Support

Midlife is a phenomenon that requires new information and understanding to successfully navigate. It is a complex time when we are impacted by myriad factors, negative and positive, all with varying degrees of visibility. The right experts and guides make the landscape of midlife more visible so that the opportunities are more easily seen.

It is important to be seen and heard. To feel accepted and embraced. 

This is the value of retreat. To commune with those who are looking in the same direction, to share a solidarity in our coming of age.

It was overwhelming.
