Midlife Renaissance
Ceremonial Day Retreat

An intimate ceremony to guide you through midlife with Rose, Lavendar & Lotus

29th November 10.30am – 5.30pm

Ballygortagh, Summerhill, Co. Meath (30 mins from Dublin)

Midlife can be messy but it's also liberating. You get to rewrite the rules, embrace the freedom to redefine your life and thrive.

You arrive at midlife believing everything is fine and going along ‘as planned’. You followed the rules and did everything ‘right’, yet you yearn for something more. It’s time to unearth your authentic self beyond the self-doubt, expectations, responsibilities, and obligations and align to a path that is actually yours.

Something within you is stirring and refuses to remain quiet. This is your call to reconnect with your true inner power, reclaim the parts that make you whole, and trust your innate wisdom. Something desires to be birthed from your deep soul truth so you can live with greater authenticity, freedom, and expression in your daily life.

It’s time to stop waiting for ‘one day’.

It’s never too late to redefine yourself so you can become the woman you were always destined to be. There are beautiful, unexpressed pieces of your identity waiting to be unearthed as you grow into your midlife wisdom.

Imagine waking up each day with clarity, purpose, and the vitality to take bold steps towards your deepest desires – whether that’s building your souls work, creating new connections, healing past wounds to reclaim your personal power, confidently setting boundaries to protect your energy, or finally bringing your creative projects to life.

This is what awaits you. I’m here to guide you to this place.

Stay true to your soul

You're not falling behind

It’s normal to arrive at midlife and wonder “Is this it?” or “How did I arrive here?”. You feel exhausted, stuck, doubtful, unfulfilled and sense that something has to change as you can’t keep living this way.

You’re not alone.

These inner questions can open doorways to a greater sense of purpose. Your midlife renaissance is a powerful portal to bravely claim a new way of being, one that honours you at your core. It’s an opportunity for growth, self discovery, renewal and a potent time to go after what you want so you can have a more deeply fulfilled and soulful life.

Or, it can be the place where you allow that part of yourself that continues to gently call to you to remain buried as you grow in stagnation and frustration.

It’s not a crisis but a revelation, an awakening. Life is changing, you are changing. You know it’s time to let go of what no longer serves, to love the parts of yourself you’ve abandoned and reclaim your power and worth.

There are also so many gifts waiting to be claimed.

Wise Woman medicine

What if you could...

Claim clarity: Step off the hamster wheel, make sense of your experiences and get clear on your desires, the ones that are truly worth investing your energy in. You’re ready to believe in yourself and your ability to create change.

Create momentum: Stop hesitating to go after what you want and let the self-doubt that gets in the way of answering that inner calling with confidence. Take space to listen to what is looking to emerge from within you and be shared.

Build firmer foundations: Reweave the fears, hidden emotions and stories that hold you back from the unexplored adventures that beckon you. Lay the groundwork for a softer, braver and more meaningful life.

Reimagine and innovate yourself: Reshape yourself based on the ever growing understanding of who you truly are. Reclaim the parts of yourself that you’ve repressed or buried that are needed for this moment in your life. Whether it’s a part of your identity, a forgotten passion, a neglected skill or a special quality, know that whatever was lost can be called back home.

Unearth your courageous self: Empower yourself to make courageous decisions, take bold chances that move you beyond your comfort zone so you can pursue your passions, and achieve your visions

Become a boundaried woman: Put yourself first as you assert your boundaries and pursue your desires with determination as you relinquish the self sacrificing and role of the martyr. Remember, when you are nourished, everyone around you is nourished.

Open to more joy: Experience the pure joy of connecting deeply with you who are becoming as you reveal new things about yourself that you have forgotten. You can follow an authentic path and discover how you wish to share yourself and your gifts with the world.

You’re not meant to travel the midlife path alone, but in ceremony, with other women, with ritual and nature. This is a magical time to dream awake your future and embody who you want to be – let the archetype of the wise woman guide you!

Kind words from participants

The day was truly magical. The space felt so calm, and safe and the day just flowed. I came away with so many insights. I felt reconnected to my soul, aligned with my path. There was also the pure joy of discovering new things about myself whilst also remembering the connection I used to have in the past is still here. I felt I was in very safe hands and your guidance was probably the most important thing on the day. I remember that feeling of freedom each day. I felt calm and exhilarated.

What I love most about Roseleen's offerings is her ability to create a safe, open space for self-connection, while also remaining grounded and relatable in her approach. She is practical and understands the normal challenges of everyday life. Her approach helped me to slow down and gently guided me to feel more connected with myself, something we could all do with. I feel so empowered after it, and carry a sense of ease and positive energy If you are curious... just book!

I am still glowing from the experience. I left with clarity and insight on moving forward with things and life. I was once again reminded of how abundant my life is - the collective energy was beautiful.

Having been in ceremony with Roseleen regularly for over a year, I highly recommend the experience. She holds beautiful, clean space, where I have always felt very safe.

She has so much knowledge and expertise that every ceremony feels really different. She uses the energy of the season to shape the ceremony to fit the participants. I have always come away with gems of inspiration.

I particularly enjoy her meditations and how she pulls everything together at the end of the ceremony with ideas on how to integrate what happened during the experience.

Such a deep and nourishing experience that has left me feeling anchored in a deeper sense of calm and authority within my being. I'm more open to calling in assistance & guidance from nature as kin and ally.

It was a really enriching ceremony. I felt very calm and supported after it, and that feeling has stayed with me since.

Your Guide

“Midlife is what happens when you climb to the top of the ladder and discover it’s against the wrong wall.” Joseph Campbell

Entering my 40s I loved my work, life was expansive and fun, and I knew where I was headed. I believed I would sail through mid-life as everything was on track. Or so I thought!

Looking back, there were subtle inner whispers calling me to pause and pay attention to the signals of frustration and exhaustion. There was a part of me longing to be expressed in my work and aspects that needed to be reclaimed for my life to feel more soul-aligned. Yet, I kept pushing forward, promising myself I’d take a break soon. One day, I will…

Instead, burnout brought me to my knees. I call those three years ‘living at the edge of the forest’ as I withdrew from life to recoup, and weed out the deep patterns of people-pleasing to redefine what a life lived well meant for me. It was a huge awakening and course correction. One that led me back to reclaiming my creativity, my voice and expression, which in turn enhanced my dwindling life force.

Now, my life is shaped around curiosity, innovation, imagination, dreaming and enchantment as they help me to forge a path that transforms even the most mundane moments into opportunities for wonder and discovery.

This is why I’m passionate about guiding women through midlife, a time of profound opportunity. You can move through this transition with grace and compassion, conquer what stands in the way of your flourishing and design a meaningful, vibrant life. Will you answer the call?
