A Women's Retreat in Europe

Freedom and space
to unfurl and learn

Rest. Reset. Connection. Coaching

We're creating a retreat for women who are ready to step away from
the noise, reconnect with themselves, and come home feeling genuinely restored.

Help Us Shape It

Why we're reaching out

Before we build this, we want to hear from you

We're designing a 3-4 night retreat set in beautiful countryside, and we want to get it right. Not just another wellness event, but something that genuinely nourishes you: the pace, the setting, the price, the experience.

We've put together a short, anonymous questionnaire to understand what matters most to you: what you'd pay, where you'd want to go, and what would make it truly worth your time. Your answers will directly shape what we create.

what this retreat is about

Space for what matters

Rest

Permission to slow down. Spacious agenda, no performance. Just space to breathe and recover.

Reset

Step away from the daily pace and return with fresh clarity about what you need and want.

Connection

Real conversation with women who understand the juggle. A chance for deep connecion and rich conversation and exchange.

Coaching

Gentle personal development woven in naturally. Growth without it feeling like a workshop.

A few days to step away from
everything you carry, and remember
who you are beneath it all.

Shape This Retreat

We'd love your honest input

It takes about three minutes. Your answers are completely anonymous, and they'll help us create something that feels accessible, nourishing, and genuinely worth it.

Anonymous. 3 minutes. No email required.

A GlimpsE of what we're planning

The details

3-4 nights

Long enough to unwind. Short enough to make it work

Beautiful European countryside with restorative amenities

Good, wholesome meal prepared with care.

Comfortable spaces

Warm, thoughtfuly designed accommodation and venue where you can truly relax.

Thoughtfully priced

We're working to make this accessible without compromising quality.

Who's behind this

We've been where you are

We're a small team of women who know what it's like to run on empty, to put everyone else first, and to quietly wonder when it became so hard to just stop. This retreat grew out of our own longing for something different, not another self-improvement programme, but a genuine space to breathe, connect, and come back to ourselves.

Between us, we bring over 50 years of experience in coaching, facilitation, and creating spaces where women from across the globe feel safe enough to be themselves, to feel supported, to be heard, to unwind and recharge. We are super excited to be convening yet another group of phenomenal women, which is why your input matters so much to us. Thank you for completing the survey!

Paula Brennan

Paula is reflective, quietly determined, and most alive when she’s walking by the sea or holding space for conversations that matter. She brings steadiness, depth, and a fierce belief that women deserve spaces where they don’t have to perform. She works with women navigating complexity, responsibility, and change - often in demanding global contexts. She cares deeply about helping women reconnect to their own compass.

Charlotte Balfour-Poole

Charlotte is the kind of person you feel calmer around. She's coached and facilitated across 32 countries, speaks fluent French, and brings a cross-cultural warmth to everything she does. An EMCC senior practitioner, she's deeply passionate about women who are juggling everything and rarely get permission to stop. She believes the outdoors has a way of unlocking what a meeting room never could.

Linda Steinbock

Linda is curious, values-driven, and happiest in nature or deep in conversation with people who make her think differently. Half Swedish, half Singaporean, she brings openness, warmth, and a belief that our differences are where the richest growth happens. She's a leadership coach and EMCC senior practitioner who cares most about helping women reconnect with their sense of purpose, and this retreat is her way of creating that space.
