Midlife Reimagined

“Feeling so pleased and grateful that I allowed myself this time to focus on me. When booking I thought it was self-indulgent but now I realise that it was absolutely the right thing to do at this point in my life. As I leave, I feel peaceful, calm and reflective. I have a better idea of what really matters to me and what I plan to do next with my life and for those I love and value.” Participant, 2025

Midlife Reimagined is a five-day restorative retreat in the inspirational Devon setting of The Sharpham Trust. Midlife can bring questions about life and work that require time and thoughtful attention. After years of carrying responsibility, and working at pace, it’s not unusual to feel a little lost or unmoored at this midpoint.

Midlife Reimagined is an invitation to step into change and growth. Midlife provides an opportunity to be our more authentic selves; to find out who we are now, what really matters at this point in our lives and what we might need to let go of as we find our next path. Every life has its ups and downs and regret can be a great teacher. Time and space to reflect in a beautiful rural setting offers an opportunity for perspective; a chance to listen to the wisdom within.

There is no chronological age restriction but people who attend tend to be in their 40’s, 50’s or 60’s. The retreat is for people who consider themselves to be in midlife, and in a time of transition, who want to reflect, go deep and emerge with a new sense of purpose and agency for the next chapter.

Midlife Reimagined offers:

  • A five day programme of compassionate midlife review led by expert facilitators

  • Facilitated group sessions and reflective exercises alongside individual time for rest, walking in nature and peace

  • A comfortable en-suite private room

  • Nourishing, nurturing organic meals served with care

  • A chance to stay in the beautiful setting of The SharphamTrust, an internationally recognised retreat centre with 40 years experience of mindful, compassionate hosting
