Retreats with Jenny

Apart from my role as a professional counsellor, I love to take women away on small group retreats. Women spend much of their lives giving of themselves so I offer them an opportunity to reconnect or re-find themselves through the activities and connection with others.

I provide a supported environment amongst like minded women. Retreats are generally held over a weekend in a beautiful country setting. A time for healing, regenerating and returning to their lives with renewed vitality.

Return journeys are available as a number of retreats with a different focus are offered. See more about Exile to Belonging & the Wild Woman Within Retreats and what others have said about their iWoman retreat journey below.

It is a privilege to journey together. I would love for you to come along. Jen xx

This Retreat is held over a weekend and is most suitable for the woman who is at a stage in her life where she is wondering, “What do I want to do with my life, now?” You may have had a change in relationship or job or your children have left home.

Maleny, Queensland Fri August 26th – Sun 28th August 2011

Sometimes life can tilt sideways & we are faced with the challenge of whether to build a wall or a bridge. Not just in our relationships to others but also with ourselves. Our true self can be silenced, exiled to a forgotten place or simply made to feel like an ugly duckling in the presence of swans. Our weekend is a journey from Exile to Belonging with the gentle fresh breath of acceptance to urge us forward. Belonging as a blessing is a theme that we will explore in a number of creative ways. Providing opportunities for your soul to nurture and release what it needs to.
Maleny, Queensland Fri 2nd – Sun 4th September 2011

At all Retreats you will be encouraged to open up to spontaneous creativity in which unexpected wisdom and delight can emerge? And, as always to be committed and patient; affirm each other; let go; and trust the process.
Tasmania, Fri October 14th – Sun 16th Oct 2011

Testimonials

“My ‘watershed moment!’ The expression ‘coming full circle’ comes to mind. I feel adequately stretched and ready for God to pour in whatever He has prepared for such a time as this!”
Yvonne, March 2009

“Pure awesomeness! So much love and respect for this group of women. I wish we could do it every year…I think it would be invaluable. I really need this in my life…It’s a salve on my soul.” Melanie, 2010

“I loved the retreat; it was as if I was taking up the gift God was offering to enable me to walk the next stage of my life. The whole retreat was a response to His invitation to come aside and rest awhile. In the time away I have given myself permission again to accept where I have been, enjoy where I am, and eagerly anticipate where God will take me. It was a time of stripping away the superficial and taking the challenge to be true to who I am and Who God is in me.”
Pastor Jan Campbell, 2009

“In the beginning I felt overwhelmed and could cry, not because of anything we were asked to do but because I realized I’d gotten to a place that I was not having joy in all that I was doing in my life. I suppose you could say I was living life but not being in the moments of my life. What unfolded in two days was mostly very engaging and at other times uncomfortable but it gave me time to come back to me in a way that I haven’t been for a very long time. I knew that something had been awakened in me, that I had somehow shut down or ran away from my life; I decided to take hold of my life in a way that I hadn’t before, to be accountable for my lot and experience all I can in my life. I found great peace and am now on a new journey to just be me, to take the time to see and enjoy everything that surrounds me. I cannot wait for next year, the second retreat!”
Theresa, Brisbane. 2009

“Excellent … Challenging”. I have a more healthy perspective of myself & life in general.”
Retreat 2009
“The exercises & activities caused a slight unsettling but very beneficial & enjoyable. This
retreat was exactly what I needed for this time in my life. ”
Retreat 2010

“To do something for myself was unique and allowed me to dream for me instead of my
children. I had let that go, not realising that I had.”
D, 2010

“I came with very mixed feelings. I had lots of reasons why it didn’t work for my family for
me to come. But I can…..continue on this journey called, life. It has given me courage.”
R. 2010
