Eat Well

What we eat and drink is critical for happy hormones. Our hormones play a part in gut, heart and bone health as well as being needed for healthy skin, hair, libido and muscle tone. During your day on our retreat, you’ll get to enjoy a delicious lunch with freshly cooked local produce, leaving you feeling energised for the rest of the retreat. Our energy ball-making workshop is designed to teach you how to create a simple and nutritious snack that can seamlessly fit into your daily routine. We’ll cover all your nutrition need to know questions during this retreat, plus you’ll take home a lovely booklet outlining all the important nutrition aspects and energy ball recipe card.

Move Your Body

Movement is always an important component of a healthy lifestyle and even more so in menopause, from reducing your risk of chronic disease, to improving sleep quality, aiding digestion, building stronger bones and helping with stress management…you’ll get to enjoy a wonderful guided walk just off track from The Wicklow Escape. A walk always to be remembered, as our guide will take you foraging where you’ll learn all about and collect edible will foods to take home. You’ll also learn how to identify them and use them in your kitchen. Our Springtime retreat couldn’t be a better time to do this and no better person that Geraldine from Wicklow Wild Foods to lead you on this wonderful walk.

Enjoy Time For You

As we approach menopause, finding time for yourself can feel even more challenging. Balancing a hectic life, working, and supporting ageing parents and/or children, you can find yourself at the bottom of a very long to-do list. This day Retreat offers you the opportunity to prioritise your own health and well-being and connect with a small group of other women who are in a similar place to you. You can relish a nurturing and supportive setting where you can relax and be looked after, but it can also be your space to take stock and focus on this transitional phase and consider what you want from this next phase in your life.
