Details

For Women who are preparing for, or currently experiencing, the Change of Life Join three experienced, older yoginis — Donna “Amrita” Davidge, Linda Rowe, Fálki Heiðdóttir — who will share their knowledge and expertise, as well as their own experiences, in a personalized, heartfelt, and safe environment. Donna’s experience with many forms of yoga, Linda’s expertise in Ayurveda, and Fálki’s re-evaluation of menopause combine to form this Aging Naturally, Powerfully, and Beautifully special retreat. You will find it to be a rich opportunity to explore tools you can use during all phases of menopause, so you can grow into aging with power and beauty. During the retreat, you’ll experience several styles of yoga, including Svaroopa®, Healing Passes, Iyengar, Yin, and Kundalini. In Linda’s “Menopause through the Lens of Ayurveda” workshop, you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of Ayurveda — an eastern system of medicine that encompasses daily care/prevention as well as illness — as you explore the naturally occurring process of menopause. In Fálki's “Menopause and Aging as a Transformative Rite of Passage” workshop, you’ll learn the how to reconsider the aging process as a positive transformation of your Self and to understand how fulfilling older life can be! In Donna/Amrita’s “Caring for your Skin, Hair, Mind, and Body” workshop, the owner of Sewall House will call upon her 40 years of teaching (50 years of practice) experience to present proven techniques from various forms of yoga — like Iyengar, Yin, and Kundalini — that will help you with aging muscles, bones, joints, and connective tissue. She has personally used yoga to prevent full shoulder replacement surgery. In addition, Donna/Amrita will discuss some of the natural skin and hair care products she has discovered.

Schedule

The retreat begins with arrival, time to settle in, and an opening yin yoga session with a welcoming ritual to set intentions and open the portal for the journey ahead. Each day unfolds with silent meditation, somatic movement, and centering practices, followed by nourishing meals, creative journaling, group processes, and themed workshops. These workshops guide participants through a progression: shedding societal expectations, facing shadow aspects of the self, embracing them with compassion, and finally exploring how to rise whole and return to the world. Afternoons offer spacious time for rest, reflection, or optional activities such as hiking, kayaking, massage, or intuitive guidance. Evenings include restorative yoga and shared meals, cultivating connection and integration. The retreat closes with a powerful ritual to celebrate returning whole and empowered, followed by a final morning practice and closing breakfast before departure.
