WhyThis Retreat Matters

Modern life asks so much of women—balancing demanding careers, family commitments, relationships, and the invisible load of holding everything (and everyone) together. It’s easy to lose touch with your own needs, let alone your dreams or true direction.

This women’s retreat in Snowdonia, North Wales is your invitation to step away from it all—even just for a few days. Here, there’s no need to wear the strong mask or hustle for your worth. You receive deep permission to slow down, get real rest, and simply be yourself—in a space free from pressure and expectation.

We’ll move between dance, song, nature inquiry, shared meals, and moments for inner reflection—always with warmth, science, and a touch of wonder. The experience is co-facilitated by me, Caroline Mason, and Jenny Mackewn, ensuring the space is beautifully held for true transformation.

You’ll find yourself surrounded by stunning wild nature and a supportive community of women—free to exhale, restore your energy, and reconnect with what truly matters most. Whether you crave clarity, inspiration, confidence, or true breathing space, these days are yours to reset, rise, and reclaim your natural rhythm.

As well as deep rest and renewal, you’ll leave with practical tools and simple practices to integrate into everyday life—empowering you to lead, care, and live with more ease.

At the heart of Rest & Rise is this: you come as you are, reconnect with your own wisdom, and return home lighter, more alive, and with a renewed sense of self.

What You’ll Experience

You’ll leave not with a to-do list, but with a felt sense of spaciousness, connection, and clarity.  ✨

You don’t need fixing. You need space, safety, and solidarity. Here, community is everything—celebrating both strength and softness. You’ll rediscover the power of authentic connection and leave with a sense of renewal and resilience that lasts.

This is where the light begins to grow again.

All you need to do is get yourself to Rhiw Goch Inn — everything else is taken care of.

Your retreat fee includes:

• Accommodation in our cosy bunkhouse
• Nourishing, home-cooked meals (catering for all dietary preferences)
• Guided retreat facilitation, coaching and all workshops led by Jenny and Caroline

The only additional cost is your travel to Snowdonia National Park, North Wales.

This women’s retreat UK takes place in the tranquil studio barn at Rhiw Goch Inn, right in the heart of Snowdonia National Park, North Wales:

• Spacious, light-filled barn for circles and workshops

• Close to local walks, lakes, and nature reserves

Caroline Mason — Caroline is a coach, facilitator, and women’s leadership guide who specialises in helping women reconnect with their truth, regulate their nervous systems, and lead in ways that honour both ambition and wellbeing.

With over 20 years’ experience leading change across global organisations — including as former Head of Agriculture, Fisheries and Aquaculture at Co-op (£5.4bn food brand) — she brings both depth and practicality to her work.

Caroline is an ICF-certified executive and team coach, a certified trainer with the Centre for Compassionate Leadership, and a trustee of LEAF, a global food and farming certification body. She has supported senior leaders and teams across five countries, combining evidence-based learning with embodied, somatic approaches to create transformation that lasts.

Known for her warmth, systems-thinking perspective, and ability to create psychological safety, Caroline holds spaces where women can lay down the weight of expectation, breathe deeply, and rediscover their natural rhythms of power, presence, and aliveness.

Jenny Mackewn is a writer, facilitator, and pioneer of creative leadership with over 30 years’ experience in holding transformative spaces.

She is internationally recognised for her expertise in systemic constellations, creative approaches to leadership, and organisational change, and has designed and led some of the most innovative learning programmes of the last two decades. Jenny created and directed the MSc in Transformative Leadership and Organisational Development at the Metanoia Institute and Middlesex University, co-founded Schumacher College’s much-loved Co-Creative Leadership programme (running since 2015 and still selling out today), and has been a long-time faculty member at Schumacher, where she continues to develop and lead programmes in regenerative business, creative facilitation, and collaborative leadership.

Her work extends internationally. She has trained leaders, coaches, and communities across sectors—developing advanced accreditation programmes in systemic coaching and team constellations with the International Coaching Federation, teaching at the University of Bath, and introducing Transition Towns training to cities in the UK and France. Most recently, she has joined the new Naess Centre in Portugal, leading retreats on letting go and letting come.

Jenny’s presence is both grounded and playful, combining deep wisdom with a lightness of touch that makes real change possible. She brings imagination, humanity, and authenticity into every room she steps into—and is passionate about community, creativity, and the power of women coming together to co-create the future.

Together, we create a space to breathe, connect, and return to yourself.

Rest deeply. Rise renewed. Rekindle your inner flame🔥.
