Comments from previous participants
Many thanks for the most wonderful weekend. I so appreciated the time spent together as we laughed, cried, ate, learned more about ourselves and got over our fears. It really was the most outstanding retreat
The menopause workshop I attended at Temenos has enabled me to view menopause as a positive transition to the next age of my womanhood. Through the workshop I celebrated the journey I have been on so far in my life … It was a renewing, revitalising and rewarding experience. I highly recommend it.
Facilitated by:
