The Midlife Pause
A gentle mini retreat for women
A warm, creative 3-hour workshop for women in midlife who are longing to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with themselves, without pressure or fixing
This workshop is for you if:
-
You feel a quiet need to pause, but rarely give yourself permission
-
You sense you’re in a transition, even if you can’t fully name it yet
-
You want space to reflect, without being told what to fix or change
-
You’d like to connect with other women who get this stage of life
What this space offers
This workshop is a warm, creative space for women in their midlife years to pause, reflect, and reconnect with themselves, without pressure, fixing, or expectations.
We’ll explore where you’ve been, where you are now, and what lies ahead.
Through creative activities, guided reflection, gentle conversation, and embodied exploration, you’ll be invited to:
-
Reflect on this stage of life with kindness
-
Connect with women who understand this chapter
-
Gain clarity around what matters to you now
-
Take one meaningful step forward, in your own way
You’re welcome to share, or simply listen.
This is a space to be yourself, exactly as you are.
What Our Time Together Looks Like
Arriving & Settling In
We begin by gathering as a group, introducing ourselves gently, and arriving into the space together.
You’ll be invited to share your name and one intention, or simply listen.
Creative Reflection & Connection
Through creative collage, guided reflection, and small-group sharing, you’ll explore where you’ve been, where you are now, and what lies ahead, supported by conversation and quiet moments.
Embodied Integration & Closing
We come back together for an embodied, symbolic activity using simple materials, followed by a closing circle, taking a moment to name what you’re carrying forward.
You’ll leave feeling:
Lighter and more spacious.
Clearer about what matters now.
Connected to yourself and others.
Supported as you step into what’s next.
All materials are provided.
No creative skills are needed.
