Living Well Retreat for Women- September 12-13

Calling all women 35-65 years of age! We invite you to Red Hen Farm and Orchard for a weekend to learn and to connect with other women entering or currently in perimenopause and those who have made it through. The weekend begins Saturday at 9am and concludes that evening, with a highly recommended option to add another day of deeper, more individualized instruction/plan creation on Sunday 9am – 3pm.

Meals provided, camping available on-site (for purchase). Go home with excellent science based knowledge about perimenopause, mindfulness and movement, as well as a plan for your taking care of your physical and mental needs during this exciting and challenging time of life.

This is an opportunity to learn about yourself and your body and to really delve into the medical and mindful ways you can take excellent care of yourself during perimenopause and after perimenopause. Most likely you have devoted thousands of hours to others, which is good, but now, take a weekend for yourself. Make time to focus on what you need right now in order to be the woman you want to be.

The weekend will be broken into several seminars about the science of women’s health led by Dr. Courtney Hathaway M.D. and practices for self-awareness/compassion and renewal through the science of mindfulness led by Julie Engh Peters PCC Life Coach. We will also have sessions about nutrition, fitness, movement and bone health with special guest Lisa Hamilton DPT and PCC Wellness Coach. And don’t forget, plenty of time for rest, social connection, fresh local fruit and the healing power of Red Hen Farm, as well as, being surrounded by the natural beauty of Western Montana!

When purchasing your ticket(s): Saturday affords time to learn and reflect on your own journey through Perimenopause. There will be sessions around learning about the science of Perimenopause, learning about hormones, wellness and creating or growing a mindfulness practice. Sunday will be a deeper dive and time allotted for creating an individualized plan. Pricing: $275- Saturday only. $425 for Saturday and Sunday.

You are entitled to a full refund if you cancel before August 25. Final sign up is August 28.
