Wild and Well: A Women's Retreat in Spain for Midlife Transformation

The Dream

Somewhere between motherhood and menopause, between the career you built and the exhaustion that followed, you lost yourself. You kept showing up, kept managing, kept being the capable one. And one day you realized you couldn't remember what you actually wanted. Who you were before you became responsible for everything.

You've tried taking a vacation. Two weeks away feels amazing until day three back at your desk, when the weight settles back in and you realize nothing actually changed.

What you need isn't a weekend in a spa. It's to step outside your life completely. To be around women doing the same thing. To spend five days becoming someone again instead of just managing.

Learn about the benefits of the retreats

The Setting: Murchas, Spain

The Lecrín Valley in southern Spain is quiet villages and olive groves built into mountainsides. Murchas is one of them—population 300, one café, narrow streets. You're staying at a private villa, a converted traditional house where the women gather for meals and evening conversations.

The retreat runs March 23-28, during Semana Santa (Holy Week), when the village itself shifts toward reflection and renewal.

Who Carmen Is

Carmen is a Certified Menopause Specialist Coach who left the US twenty years ago to build a completely different life in Spain.

She's hosting this retreat because she understands midlife for women from the inside—the hormonal shifts, the identity collapse, the desperate need to remember who you are.

The Retreat: What to Expect

A small group (12 women maximum) spending five days doing the real work of rediscovery. Mornings include yoga and somatic practices, and of course, hikes. Afternoons are small circle work where you talk about who you were, what you gave up, what you want to reclaim. Evenings are community—dinners, sound healing, journaling, conversations that last until midnight because you've finally found people who get it.

By the end, something inside you has shifted. You know who you are. You know what matters. You know what you're choosing next.

Here is what your itinerary will look like:

What Actually Changes

The transformation is the dinner conversation where you finally say out loud: "I don't know who I am outside of what I've been doing." And the woman across from you nods because she's exactly there too. It's the somatic session where your body releases ten years of held tension.

You leave with daily practices—breathwork, journaling, body awareness. But the real gift is clarity about who you are and what you're choosing next.
