The Wisewoman Way
A 4-day Retreat for Menopausal Women
Take a Journey through the Menopausal Portal of Power
and Step into your Wisewoman Self!
19-22 June 2025
At a Private Outdoor Venue near Conwy, North Wales
Are you standing at the threshold of menopause with a terrible sense of dread?
Are you navigating the stormy waters of peri-menopause and wondering what on earth is happening to you, and whether it's ever going to end?
Or maybe you are already in your menopause years and feel a bit lost and not sure who you are or what you're meant to do?
Wherever you are on your menopause journey, this weekend is for you!
Approached as a rite of passage, menopause is not just an ending. It's a vital portal into our true, authentic power; a power that is rooted in our intuition, our creative essence, and our life experience.
Approached as a sacred transition, menopause holds the promise and potential for what can be the best chapter of our lives! To embrace it with conscious intention is to truly honour ourselves and the miracle of life we are living.
If you're called to step consciously into your menopausal life and to walk the Wisewoman way, then join me for what promises to be a transformational weekend!
Introducing...
The Wisewoman Way
A 4-Day Retreat for Menopausal Women
The Wisewoman Way is a unique 4-day journey designed to help you navigate the powerful yet turbulent time of menopause and to set yourself up for a positive menopause experience.
Stepping through the portal requires significant and often uncomfortable change on every level - mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Whilst lots of people are talking about the physical changes, there's not a lot out there to support the deeper psychological changes we are called to face. The Wisewoman Way is designed to do just that.
For the menopause transition requires us face into our unresolved shadows; to let go of old roles and identities, to grieve what’s been lost or never lived, to face our own mortality, and to break-free of the youth-centric conditioning that has up till now directed our lives.
Menopause is an important step on our "journey of becoming" and The Wisewoman Way will support you in shedding the old skins so that you can create a new and exciting future for yourself for years to come.
Held in a beautiful outdoor setting, close to the land and under open skies, the weekend is designed to nourish your body, soul and spirit as well as provide a held space for you to "clear out the old" and to take the throne of your Wisewoman Self.
The 4 Day Journey will take the form of a traditional 3 stage rite of passage:
As a small circle of 13 women we'll draw from both modern and ancient practices and on the teachings of 6 Wisewomen archetypes from around the world for insight and understanding. Through creative ritual and ceremony you'll be guided to step into your menopause chapter as the Wisewoman you were always destined to become.

It's Great to Meet You...
I'm Cali White
I am a psychotherapist, ancestral healing practitioner, group facilitator, teacher and perpetual student!
My peri-menopause came in 2015/6 when I was 44. I wasn't expecting it so soon! It crept up on me and then took me out - big time! With no husband, kids or job I had the luxury to be able to embrace and navigate it consciously. For 15 months I rode the rollercoaster through the madness and mayhem...and then I reached the magic!
To mark my menopausal year and to step with strong intentions into my menopause chapter, I followed higher guidance and travelled the UK/Ireland in my campervan on a 13 moon pilgrimage. It changed my life. It gave me my purpose. It taught me who I really am. It gave me endless gifts. So far, this menopause chapter is the best chapter of my life!
And I want menopause to be the best chapter for every woman! We've been lied to so deeply about it - and for good reason! It really is a powerful time! So I want to share what I learned and help other women navigate their menopause as the sacred and powerful change it is; and a whole new chapter full of surprises and treasures!
The Wisewoman Way Retreat is a weaving of what I learned on my own journey combined with my psychotherapeutic and healing arts training. It's going to be a time of sacred space, creative ritual, story and song, roaring fires and flowing rivers, beautiful surprises, deep-diving, medicine and magic, tears of joy and sadness, and of course wisewoman wildness!
I hope you're called! I'd be honoured to guide you on this sacred journey.
