The Threshold Awaits–Whether you're in your 40s, 50s, or beyond, there comes a time when you find yourself standing at a mysterious edge—not quite who you once were, not yet who you're becoming. This immersive retreat invites you into that liminal space. A place between stories. A sacred threshold where the cultural scripts about aging fall away, and something deeper and wiser begins to stir.
What We’ll Explore Together
Healing the Aging Wound
We’ll gently excavate the messages that have taught us to fear aging and alchemize them through shadow work, ritual, and honest reflection. Together, we’ll reclaim aging as a path to power, beauty, and embodied wisdom.
Plant-Powered Beauty & Seasonal Self-care
Together, we will explore beauty practices through the lens of adornment and self-care, not as something we must engage in to look younger. Learn to tend your changing body and skin with grace and ritual, rooted in the cycles of nature and the wisdom of herbs.
The Soul of Midlife: Wisdom Keeper Practices
Through guided inner journeys, ancestral reflection, and future-self dialogues, you’ll harvest the hard-won wisdom of your life thus far and envision what wants to come next. You’ll leave with tools to navigate this life stage with clarity, confidence, and soul alignment.
Your Retreat Experience at Wild Rice
Nestled between growing pines and the red rock shores of Lake Superior, Wild Rice is a vibrant resort destination in the Midwest founded on the pillars of nourishment, expression, and movement. On the Wild Woman retreat each day will flow from deep inner work to hands-on creativity to nourishing community connection.
Mornings: Yoga, Guided practices in shadow work, journaling, and wisdom retrieval
Afternoons: Herbal beauty crafting, face and body care ritual, lessons on building your own beauty apothecary.
Evenings: Restorative yoga, Firelight storytelling, sacred integration, and circle sharing
Free Time: sauna, massage, explore property grounds and Lake Superior
Meals
Daily meals at Root are included in your stay. Nourishment is a core pillar at Wild Rice Retreat, and they’ve crafted a welcoming dining experience at Root, the onsite kitchen, to fuel the soul. Guided by a holistic, Ayurvedic-inspired approach, they focus on creating meals with whole foods, placing a strong emphasis on fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices to keep guests feeling energized and satisfied.
Women who feel the stirrings of change and want to meet them with power, not fear.
Women ready to break up with age shame and rewrite their relationship to beauty and visibility.
Women who crave depth, truth, creativity, and sisterhood as they cross this threshold.
Come as you are. Your lines, softness, silver strands and full hearts are welcome. Leave with a new way of seeing yourself: radiant, resourced, and rooted in your own story.
