“The midlife retreat gave me time to stop and reflect on what it means to get older and what I want from my life. I built bonds of friendship and connection that continue to sustain me and I often stop to think about the amazing people I met there, out in the world, on their journeys.”

“The retreat set me on a path of self-reflection post redundancy and was a great reminder and reassurance that everybody is journeying through difficult times and issues and we must treat ourselves with self-compassion. I recommend investing in yourself to take up this experience.”

“When booking I thought it was self-indulgent but now I realise that it was absolutely the right thing to do at this point in my life. As I leave, I feel peaceful, calm and reflective. I have a better idea of what really matters to me and what I plan to do next with my life and for those I love and value.”
