MENOPAUSE WISDOM:
Wintering Wisely
15 & 16 Novemeber 2025
Rolle, Switzerland
A soulful retreat for women in midlife and beyond - to honour the wisdom of winter as an outer and inner season.
For the woman consciously stepping into her deep power and feminine wisdom.
Menopause is the beginning of an initiation into the Wise Woman.
Knowing how to 'winter wisely' is an essential life skill of every Wise Woman. Learning the art of seasonal and cyclical living is truly life-enhancing.
Whether you are in perimenopause, or well past the menopause, this beautiful retreat will help you relax and cultivate inner quiet, soften into your own skin, and embrace the winter in a whole new light.
You’ll learn the practices, develop a deeper understanding, and enjoy community support to experience both inner and outer winter as a source of wisdom.
To winter wisely is to listen, rest, and trust the unseen.
I appreciated that this phase of life was acknowledged -
it touched me deeply and made me feel truly seen.

Peri- and Post-Menopause - A sacred initiation
Perimenopause is an initiation.
A time of intense transition, where everything can feel blurred, shaken, uncertain.
It calls you to slow down, to listen, to adapt with gentleness.
Post-menopause is a becoming.
A time of reclamation and re-rooting,
where the Wise Woman fully embodies herself - free, clear, sovereign.
This weekend welcomes you wherever you are on the path.
To honour your experience, cultivate your clarity,
and walk forward surrounded by women who are also walking consciously.
You are not alone.
What is Wintering?
Wintering is the sacred pause.
It’s the quiet in-between - after the letting go, before the becoming.
It’s the inner season that invites you to retreat, to rest, to listen deeply.
While it echoes the outer winter of nature - bare branches, long nights, soft silence - wintering is also an inner experience that can arise at any time of year. It’s when life asks you to slow down, to let things compost, to surrender to not-knowing.
To winter wisely is to honour this phase, rather than resist it.
To welcome the mystery.
To trust that in the stillness, seeds of clarity, creativity, and new life are quietly taking root.
The Crone: Keeper of Winter Wisdom
In the Wheel of the Year, Winter belongs to the Crone - the Wise Old Woman.
She is the one who sees in the dark.
Who holds the knowledge of endings, thresholds, and what lies beyond appearances.
She is not afraid of stillness.
She teaches us to trust the unknown, to find beauty in simplicity, and to rest without guilt.
She is reflected in the bare trees, the frozen earth, the hush of snow.
And she lives within you, too.
In winter we call on her wisdom and guidance. She reflects our life experience, sovereignty, and powerful nature.
The Crone, like winter, is a homecoming -
A return to yourself, to what matters, and to the deep feminine wisdom that no longer seeks permission.
I am the keeper of my own time.
I am the fire in the hearth.
I am wisdom walking.
When You Winter Wisely,
You Become the Woman Who…
- Rests with joy - knowing her vitality depends on it, not apologising for her need to pause
- Honours her rhythm - adapting her life to align with energy, not external pressure
- Leans into support - releasing the lone-wolf pattern and welcoming true connection
- Listens deeply - to her body, her emotions, her intuition, and the whispers of her soul
- Leads with depth and humility - drawing from a deep source of wisdom, and the truth of interconnection,
- Communicates her needs and desires - with clarity, courage, and compassion
- Embraces the wisdom of cycles - trusting winter as a sacred time of rest, reflection, and becoming

- You’re navigating change, internal or external, and want to access inner resources for more understanding, acceptance and resilience
- You’re craving deep rest, real connection, and inner renewal
- You feel like your rhythm is shifting, and you’d like to learn how to honour it

What some people said
I realised how important it is to care for myself differently, and I found the motivation to explore what truly works for me, rather than simply accepting a medical prescription.
Brigitte
Having a space to express myself, to be heard and listened to with sensitivity and without judgment, was deeply nourishing.
That doesn’t happen as often as I’d like in everyday life.
Vivienne
