Come home to yourself …
Feel your power rising ...                Claim your wise Crone …                  Connect with other ElderWomen.

This retreat weekend is for you if ...

You’re a woman in her post-menopausal years, perhaps coming to terms with being older and wiser… perhaps enjoying a new-found sense of freedom … perhaps wondering what’s next for you in your life … and maybe…

• You’ve retired from your occupation, your grandchildren have grown up, you’ve stepped back from volunteering in your community, you’re no longer caring for a sick or dying relative.

• Your life is full with supporting others as a mother, grand-mother, daughter, sister, wife, friend, volunteer - but that’s not enough to keep you satisfied, or you’re feeling depleted, or yearning for something else in your life.

• You’re still active in the workforce, maybe running your own business, but you feel it’s time to step back and take more time for yourself and your other interests.

• You’re recovering from an illness, and feel it’s time to make some changes for your life going forward.

• You feel there’s something different ahead for you but you’re not sure what it is.

• You feel invisible, unseen, unheard, used up, discarded, depressed, or anxious about your future.

• You feel alone or lonely.

• You feel you lack confidence or courage to be yourself.

• You want to hear your own authentic voice and speak your truth.

• You feel an urge to break free from old identities and redefine yourself.

• You feel a need to summon your inner strength and power.

• You feel your power rising but you’re not sure where you want to direct it.

• You’d like to connect with other women your age/life stage, or others who may be having similar experiences to you.

• None of the above apply to you, but you feel you need to do something for yourself.


What this retreat will offer you ...
• Dedicated time and space to focus on yourself and your life.

• Simple rituals and creative processes to support your self-exploration.

Retreat Venue:
The ElderWoman Retreat will be held at Glenbrook Country Retreat just south of Margaret River. The retreat centre is located on a beautiful 180 acre property with bushland walk trails, lots of kangaroos and local birds. Our hosts, Cherie and Betty offer a warm, friendly, clean and comfortable retreat venue.
There is overnight accommodation onsite in single or shared rooms, and bathroom/toilet facilities are shared. If you prefer not to stay overnight, you’re strongly encouraged to stay for the evening meals and evening activities before you leave each evening.


Retreat Meals:
As a way of keeping retreat costs down and adding to the camaraderie over the weekend, meals will be simple and made with shared contributions and preparation. Everyone will be asked to bring something to share for lunches and/or evening meals. Breakfasts will be a combination of BYO and some food items provided. Teas, coffee and snacks will also be provided. Contributions will be coordinated closer to the retreat date when we know how many women and what dietary requirements we need to cater for.

Words from women who participated in the ElderWoman Retreat 2023 …

"I went to an ElderWoman Retreat in 2023 with Anne-Marie and discovered the sheer joy and value of intentionally meeting with other Elder Women, some whom I'd known for a long time, but never before shared such stories of my life, listened deeply, and was seen and heard by this wonderful group of women. It was an amazing, healing, and inspiring experience." MM

"I remember feeling nurtured, safe and comfortable learning so many new perspectives of my past, present and future. I loved the Yarning and Soul Weaving especially." SE

“Thank you, Anne-Marie. I appreciate your calm, considered, conscious connection, and I felt in very safe hands during the Retreat.” PT
