Midlife Harmony
Empowering women to embrace and revitalise their minds and bodies during menopause.
All about harmony
The Midlife Harmony retreat is an intimate, one-of-a-kind, long weekend holistic container, where participants focus on goal setting, motivation, and kickstarting long-term results that lead to a more energised life of confidence and mind-and-body health.
You’ll work with a team of experts on nutrition, breathwork, mindfulness, and movement.
Get the personalised attention you deserve as you craft the rest of your life with intention and deep relaxation. And walk away renewed in both mind and body.
The retreat takes place in the scenic foothills of Las Sierra de Las Nieves in Spain. In the lush pine forest, with expansive views of olive and avocado groves, you’ll nestle into a wooden cabin surrounded by the quiet hum of nature. Each day is packed with interactive workshops designed to give you the foundation and tools to go forward and create the life of your dreams, and our evenings are all about connection, fun, and relaxation.
Be Immersed in Nature
The core of the retreat is intermittent fasting. The low-carb, organic vegan/vegetarian meals are specially created to support your mind and body with nourishment and big flavour. You’ll be using the 14/10 method, which means that your daily 14-hour fast will allow your body to release toxins and inflammation (and possibly some weight) in a gentle way, which can be modified to keep you comfortable and safe.
As your body detoxes (one day is focused on complete detox through fresh juices and shakes!), we’ll also be resetting your mind with daily structured programming. Our experts in yoga, meditation, breathwork, belly dancing, massage, facials (and so much more) will be on hand for personalised support and healing.
How it works (the science bit)
A taste of what to expect
Before you arrive, fill out a pre-retreat questionnaire and consultation, which will help you craft your unique experience. You will be sent a gift of a travel pamper skincare pack, then, we’ll have a virtual meet-and-greet so that you can start getting to know your fellow retreat guests and we can have a virtual pamper using your gift. Each retreat is different, so below is a taste of what you can expect.
Pre-Retreat
Experience Gut Health workshops and with your new knowledge plan and prep a delicious meal with your fellow attendees. There are also workshops looking at specific ingredients such as wheatgrass as well as a tour of a spirulina farm. We encourage a gentle detox to cleanse your body of toxins.
Nutrition
We have a range of activities to help get your body moving gently such as morning yoga, walks and Spiritual Belly Dancing. There is a pool as part of the accommodation and water is fantastic for both body and mind, there's also an optional river swim should you be inclined. For those who want to ramp up their physical exercise, more strenuous activities such as going for a run or a HITT class are available.
Movement
Each day will include a focus on developing a healthy mindset with daily meditation and breathwork practices. There is plenty of opportunity to relax and have a little self-care with pampering like massage or facials. We'll also be looking at planning and goal setting to keep you motivated for when you return home
