An artfully curated and luxurious retreat for women navigating the alchemical fires of perimenopause and menopause, featuring meals by award-winning chef Anya El-Wattar. This is the pause your body has been demanding: a chance to shed what no longer serves you, turn inward like a caterpillar in its chrysalis, and discover what emerges on the other side. Through somatic movement, exquisite music, supportive nourishment, and shared experiences, you will reclaim this transition as your birthright — a threshold into your deepest creativity, wisdom, and sovereign authority. You will leave changed.
Step into the power, pleasure, and beauty of this life stage with support, community, and inspiration. Each Body of Fire retreat is curated uniquely with special guests, while following a tested programming arc to help you experience and celebrate menopause as a potent rite of passage.
This is our flagship program and it is for anyone who has ever cycled, at any age or stage of the menopause process — from approaching perimenopause to postmenopausal. We extend a special welcome to those entering menopause "early," and those who are far past it but never had the chance to honor their process. No prior experience necessary. Gender inclusive.
