Are you navigating the turbulent waters of perimenopause, feeling hopeless, adrift and uncertain?
Or maybe you've already crossed the menopause threshold but are still struggling with the changes you've gone through?
Introducing...
The Wisewoman Way
A 4-Day Retreat for Menopausal Women
The Wisewoman Way is a unique 4-day journey designed to help you navigate the powerful yet turbulent time of menopause and to set yourself up for a positive menopause experience.
Stepping through the portal requires significant and often uncomfortable change on every level - mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
To become our most intuitive, creative and wise Selves, we are called to face unresolved shadows; to let go of old roles and identities, to grieve what’s been lost or never lived, to face our own mortality, and to break-free of the youth-centric conditioning that has up till now directed our lives.
Menopause is an important step on our "journey of becoming" and The Wisewoman Way will support you in shedding the old skins so that you can create a new and exciting future for yourself for years to come.
Held in a beautiful outdoor setting, close to the land and under open skies, the weekend is designed to nourish your body, soul and spirit as well as provide a held space for you to "clear out the old" and be honoured as you take the throne of your Wisewoman Self.
The 4 Day Journey takes the form of a traditional 3 stage rite of passage:
As a small circle of women we will draw from both modern and ancient practices and from the teachings of 6 Wisewomen archetypes for insight and understanding. Through creative ritual and ceremony you'll be guided to embrace your menopause chapter as the Wisewoman you were always destined to become.
Thursday - Arriving
- Arrive at our beautiful venue, find your feet and settle in before a delicious home-cooked dinner made by our award-winning local chef.
- Join our Opening Circle as we open the menopause portal and set intentions for the journey ahead. Gather around the ancestral fire and meet the six Wisewomen Archetypes who will support us over the coming days.
Friday - The Letting Go
- Enter Baba Yaga's Dark Forest of initiation and let go of the old identities that will no longer serve you during your menopause chapter,
- Sit with Grandmother Spider and shed the beliefs and stories that hold you back.
- Journey through the Underworld with Hecate to release and grieve what is ready to die to make space for your Wisewoman Self to emerge.
Saturday - The Threshold
- Embrace your inner healer and gather the medicine you need with Ix Chel.
- Reconnect your ancestral lineage and call in your Ancestral support team with An Cailleach.
- Make a solo Vision Quest in the stunning landscape around the venue and seek clarity on your menopausal vision using the powerful mirrors of Nature.
- Celebrate your Wisewoman Self in a powerful ceremony around the Ancestral Fire!
Sunday - The Homecoming
- Review your journey and clarify your menopause vision and action steps for the coming weeks and months.
- Take the Morrigan's throne and make your personal vow as you are crowned the Wisewoman you were always destined to become.
- Return home with a clear vision of your purpose as you walk the Wisewoman Way.
The weekend will consist of indoor and outdoor group sessions during which you’ll be guided through a unique and transformational experience, based is a safe therapeutic space and tailored to your personal needs.

Some prior experience of inner work would be helpful although not essential.

It's Great to Meet You...
I'm Cali White
I am a psychotherapist, ancestral healing practitioner, group facilitator, and perpetual student!
My peri-menopause came in 2015/6 when I was 44. I wasn't expecting it so soon! It crept up on me and then took me out - big time! With no husband, kids or job I had the luxury to be able to embrace and navigate it consciously. For 15 months I rode the rollercoaster through the madness and mayhem...and then I reached the magic!
To mark my menopausal year and to step with strong intentions into my menopause chapter, I travelled the UK/Ireland in my campervan on a 13 moon pilgrimage. It changed my life and gave me my life's purpose. So far, this menopause chapter is the best chapter of my life!
I'd love for menopause to be the best chapter for every woman! We've been lied to so deeply about it - and for good reason! It really is a powerful time! So I want to share what I learned and help other women navigate their menopause as the sacred and powerful change it is; and a whole new chapter full of surprises and treasures!
The Wisewoman Way Retreat is a weaving of what I learned on my own journey combined with my psychotherapeutic and healing arts training. It's going to be a time of sacred space, creative ritual, story and song, roaring fires and flowing rivers, beautiful surprises, deep-diving, medicine and magic, tears of joy and sadness, and of course wisewoman wildness!
I hope you're called! I'd be honoured to guide you on your sacred journey.
Here are a few testimonials from women who have taken the journey before...
A.E.
"Powerful, moving, and deeply emotional – I don’t think I’ve ever laughed and cried so much in just four days. The care, compassion, and nurture that held us throughout the retreat was truly extraordinary –
you could feel it in every moment.
The work we did was insightful, held with such skill and sensitivity. I felt safe, supported, and seen. It
was expertly facilitated, and always with warmth and humanity.
The food was an absolute dream – nourishing, delicious, and plentiful! Everyone’s needs were thoughtfully catered for. And the setting…just breath-taking. The peaceful countryside wrapped around the whole experience like a soft blanket, adding even more depth and beauty to an already incredible few days.
I’ll carry this with me for a long time."
J.P.
"The whole experience was something exceedingly special. I heard repeatedly from many of the women that this was the most welcoming and safe feeling retreat they had ever been on, and life has taught me to be careful on that front, so it was a life affirming experience. Working with the archetypes was powerful and since returning home, I've felt much stronger and yet also more emotional - even though emotion is something I've learned to stuff down and avoid where possible. Now I appreciate the wisdom in it and feel even more defiant towards the powers that be, and ready to forge a new way forward on my own terms."
N.B.
"I started the journey with the online course but this face to face/in person time really cemented my appreciation of the life available to us women into and post-menopause. I no longer feel dried up. I can really feel that this coming season of life has the potential to be amazing. The best. With purpose, meaning and careful deployment of energy and focus. In power, not on the treadmill. The Wisewoman Weekend - an essential rite of passage for each and every woman. Attendance should be mandatory and available on prescription. The time to be master of your own power is now. The time to live consciously and with meaning is now; to make your last incarnated decades count, is now. Heal yourself in the sisterhood, know your power, and maybe even think clearly for the first time. The healing might not always be pretty, but the location is!”
