The New Woman Retreat – Sydney 15 – 18th of October 2023

The New Woman Retreat has been in the making for many years. Something I wish I personally could have attended when I became a single mother.

A four-day child-free retreat focusing on YOU because you deserve it.

Daily meditation, yoga, and workshops specifically designed for women who have children who have been or are going through a separation or divorce from their children’s other parent, widows, or single mums by choice. It doesn’t matter if you are going through the process (or are about to), have been single for some time, or have even re-partnered or married. We all share the common bond of wanting to make the most of the next chapter of our lives.

We’ll talk and learn about listening and connecting with our body and the nervous system, change and life transition, self-care, creating awareness, healing, mindfulness, mindset, dealing with overwhelm, perspective, purpose and values, stress reduction, freedom through yoga, the koshas, and more!

Places limited – 10 women maximum.

Location

The retreat will be held at the gorgeous Billabong Retreat. The address is 41 McClymonts Road, Maraylya, Sydney, NSW 2765 Australia.

It is located in Northwest Sydney, a forty-five-minute drive from the Sydney Harbour Bridge (or an hour in rush hour).
