Women's retreat
Time for yourself, among women
You don't need a special reason to go: wanting to catch your breath, at your own pace and in confidence, is more than enough.
A women's retreat is a stay designed for women, and often open only to them. People come to give themselves a few days without looking after anyone else, in a setting where they feel at ease to slow down, move and speak freely.
Depending on the retreat, the programme combines yoga, meditation, walks in nature, writing or movement workshops, sharing circles, treatments or simply rest. Some explore themes specific to women, such as the menstrual cycle or life transitions; others mainly offer a calm break in a small group. You can go on your own, with friends or with family.

Frequently asked questions
Are women's retreats only open to women?
Usually, but not always: some stays are built around women's themes and remain open to everyone. Each retreat listing says who it is for.
Can I go on my own?
Yes. Many women go on retreat alone, and the small group makes it easy to connect. If you prefer a private room, check the accommodation offered.
Do I need to practise yoga or meditation already?
No, unless stated otherwise. Many retreats are open to all levels; the expected level is shown on each listing.
Can I come with friends, my sister or my mother?
Yes, it is a lovely way to share a break. Depending on the offer, you may be able to share a room: check the accommodation options.
What happens during a women's retreat?
It depends on the programme: yoga or gentle movement, sharing circles, workshops, treatments, nature and free time. The schedule is detailed on each listing.
Is it suitable during pregnancy?
Some practices need to be adapted. Talk to your doctor or midwife, and contact the organiser before you go.
How long does a women's retreat last?
From a weekend to a week, depending on the offer. A weekend is a way to discover it; several days let you truly unwind.
