Slow down. Tune in. Come back stronger.

There is a story women are told about age — that it is something to outrun. This retreat tells a

different one. Over two winter nights at a historic 1792 estate on 47 private acres in the

Berkshires, we gather to explore the power that arrives with age — through mindful movement,

quiet reflection, and honest, science-grounded conversation about the body’s changing inner

chemistry, led by physician and women’s health specialist Dr. Louise Newson. Between sessions:

fireside tea, snow-hushed walks, live music, deep rest, and the rare pleasure of being in good

company.

Mindful Movement

Morning yoga and guided meditation led

by Betty Riaz and guest teacher Jen Frey

— practices designed for strength,

balance, and bone and joint health,

building the body you’ll live in for

decades to come.

The Science of Vitality

Candid sessions with Dr. Louise Newson

on the body’s inner chemistry — what

shifts through midlife and beyond, and

how to harness it for energy, sleep,

mood, and long-term health.

Nourishment

Warming, seasonal meals composed to

sustain energy and support the body

through winter — food as a daily act of

longevity.

Rest, Music & Reflection

Fireside evenings with live tunes by

special guest musician Carla Ryder,

winter walks across 47 quiet acres,

journaling, and true stillness.
