Women's Midlife-Wisdom Retreat
Kerala, India


 
11-19 September, 2026
'Ayurvedic & Hindu Immersion For A Woman Ready To Reinvent Her Midlife'

Why Should You Say YES?

Welcome to the women's circle of wisdom!

In this retreat, you’ll learn to recognise and trust your intuition that every woman possesses but is unable to distinguish from the mental noise. Here, you'll experience yogic meditation to receive intuitive messages to find the answers you're looking for. You'll create a new value-based lifestyle plan that supports midlife transitions, and you will learn Ayurvedic rituals to internalise it, even after you return home.  
After daily 90-minute Ayurvedic body treatments, you will return home feeling lighter, energised, with improved digestion, glowing skin, balanced hormones, and a calm mind.
While rest and well-being are the pinnacles of this program, we also believe in the power of joy and celebration of life. You will spend one afternoon on a luxury houseboat over the Alleppey backwaters to dance Bollywood style.

You’ll visit a thousand-year-old Krishna temple to witness prayers and to receive blessings. And, will enjoy shopping for the world’s best silk scarves, quality jewellery, and souvenirs to take home.
The friendships you'll forge with women who are on a similar journey will become the trusted community that you can always turn to for support.
PICTURE THIS - You are waking up to the sounds of tranquil nature in a  5-star accommodation overlooking the sunrise above the Alleppey waterfront.

Gently waking up in a privacy of your room and walking out to your balcony to take a breath of a warm breeze and surrender all your worries…

Nestled in Kerala's enchanting backwaters, this serene paradise offers an escape into India's most captivating landscape. The legendary Alleppey lagoons stretch endlessly before you, where emerald palm groves kiss crystal waters and traditional houseboats drift like floating dreams. Your luxurious sanctuary sits harmoniously within this exotic wonderland, where ancient Ayurvedic traditions meet modern comfort.
IMAGINE- The sun slowly rises and waking the soothing nature of South India with its’ slow, gentle, and nourishing vibes for your soul.

Step into your private oasis
where handcrafted furnishings blend seamlessly with panoramic water views. The gentle lapping of backwater channels creates nature's own meditation soundtrack, while golden sunlight filters through swaying coconut palms, painting your room in warm, honeyed hues.

Your Accommodation is the Global Spa 2025 Award-Winner Ayurvedic boutique hotel:
Beyond your terrace, Kerala's mystical beauty unfolds – fishermen casting nets in mirror-like waters, exotic birds gliding overhead, and the intoxicating fragrance of jasmine and frangipani carried on evening breezes.

This is where the mind finds clarity, where stress dissolves into serenity, and where well-being flows as freely as the backwater currents themselves.

In this tranquil heaven,
surrounded by Kerala's timeless grace, you'll discover the perfect balance between being focused on yourself and a soul-nourishing group experience.

You will join the group of hand-picked, like-minded women ready to transform in the cocoon of well-being in the next 9 days!
This is your invitation to the transformative journey where ancient  Ayurvedic medicine meets the healing power of a group masterclass in a safe, private, and supportive environment.

The ancient rhythms of Kerala naturally assist your body's innate intelligence, creating the perfect vessel for deep personal renewal.

The 90-minute Masterclass sessions are designed around one central problem: high-achieving women in midlife lose trust in themselves.

You overthink, second-guess and outsource your decisions to everyone except the one source that knows — your own inner wisdom.

These masterclasses teach you to access that wisdom practically and use it to build a concrete vision for your midlife.
You will be guided with meditation to move beyond the analytical mind and access your own inner guidance & distinguish between fear-based thinking and genuine intuition.

You will apply that intuition directly to your most pressing life questions — health, purpose, relationships or work to design a personal practice supported by Ayurvedic rituals that keeps you aligned with your vision when you return home.

These masterclasses are led by Anna Reznik —coaching psychologist and retreat leader — who brings both professional expertise and lived experience of midlife transition, grief, identity loss, and resilience.

By the end of the four sessions, you will have:
1. A reliable daily practice for accessing your inner knowing     
2. A written personal vision for your midlife guided by your intuition.
3. Ayurvedic rituals to help you sustain intuitive practice to guide you to concrete steps toward your vision — with certainty! 


When Women Come Together, The Healing Energy Expands Exponentially!

After a delicious Ayurvedic breakfast, we will gather in a comfortable space where you can be yourself, be free, and open to restoring love in your heart to find inner strength to return to a graceful, content, and confident woman you are meant to be.

In this nurturing cocoon of sisterhood, you'll emerge not just renewed but fundamentally transformed – carrying within you an unshakeable foundation of self-worth and the radiant confidence that comes from truly knowing and honouring who you are.

What Makes This Retreat Different?

Ayurveda is a wellness 'container' in our retreat!

Ayurveda is a 5000-year-old medicine that originates from the ancient philosophy of life, and different body constitutions or doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha).

Balancing doshas by altering behaviour, lifestyle, food habits, and gentle detoxification are the primary factors in establishing optimal health and mental wellbeing in Ayurveda.

This retreat is personalised for YOU – during the Ayurvedic doctor consultations, any health-related concerns you want to focus on will be addressed, including body treatments, dietary requirements, and natural herbal supplements to improve and heal the specific issues in your body to rejuvenate, balance, and energise you from the inside out.
You will be treated by the certified Ayurvedic therapists daily, enjoying personalised body treatments, massages for gentle detox, relaxation, healing body aches and pains, balancing hormones, and reducing stress.

You'll have daily check-ins with an Ayurvedic doctor to support your healing, detox, sleep, digestion, and more!

Healing The Body with Ayurveda Food

At the heart of your wellness journey lies one of our retreat's most profound offerings—personalised Ayurvedic nutrition tailored specifically to your unique constitution.

Food is not merely sustenance; it is medicine. The ancient wisdom teaches us that taste and nourishment are critical in achieving balance of the doshas—the vital energies that govern your physical and emotional wellbeing.

Each carefully prepared meal at our retreat serves as a healing force, with sweet, salty, sour, and pungent elements precisely balanced to restore harmony within your body.

Based on the assessment of your constitution, the chief thoughtfully curates meals that bring your doshas into perfect equilibrium.

This personalised approach to nutrition becomes a powerful catalyst in your healing journey, creating the optimal physical foundation for spiritual and emotional transformation.

A Warm Message From Anna Reznik

Hello Sister,

I want you to know that you are not alone in your challenges.
You are committed to others, to your work, and responsibilities, but not always to yourself.

I know for sure that every woman dreams about feeling special, feeling well, and doing what makes her heart sing.

This is why I invite you to this retreat, which was born as an idea after years of my personal struggles, grief, loneliness, and despair in my 40's. Now, I share with you all that I know worked for me, saved me, and gave me hope and grace to live an authentic life. My professional journey started in 2020 after a Bachelor's Degree in Psychological Science and a Master's in Coaching Psychology at the University of Sydney, Australia.

I'm a corporate leadership trainer, coach, and retreat leader with years of experience helping my clients overcome personal challenges and to thrive in their professional and personal lives.
Eight years ago, my world imploded!

A profound personal crisis stripped away everything I thought I was…

First mourning the end of my marriage, then finding myself drawn into a relationship that brought more pain than healing, all while facing the devastating loss of my beloved sister.

In that convergence of grief, I discovered both my deepest vulnerability and my greatest strength.

My healing journey began unexpectedly at a women's retreat in India in 2022, where I discovered ancient Hindu wisdom and Ayurvedic healing medicine alongside intensive self-inquiry work

What I found transformed was not only my physical body and mental health, but I also initiated a complete rebirth of my spirit. Yes! As a professional life coach with a psychology background, I've since guided many women through similar life-altering transitions in midlife because I believe that nobody should struggle alone.

Today, I invite you to experience this same profound restoration of your spirit!This meticulously crafted retreat offers what I once desperately needed during my darkest hour—a sacred place to feel safe and to reconnect with your spirit-self, heal your physical body, and discover the power of loving yourself unconditionally.
