Most of the women who join my gatherings are experiencing big life changes and fatigue from a lifetime of caring for others while neglecting themselves. Many are navigating things like career change or retirement, caring for aging parents, adult children leaving home for the first time, changes related to perimenopause/menopause, separation or loss of loved ones, or sometimes all of the above at the same time. They seek the quiet comfort of being with other women who understand.

Throughout all of my midlife changes, migrating to Portugal, and my own confusing journey with perimenopause my conversations with other women were the best medicine. While women come here not knowing anyone, within the first few meals conversations often quickly move beyond "where are you from" and "what do you do" to the tender topics that are closer to our hearts.

If you're a solo woman traveler looking for an experience that offers a balance between local guidance and connection with other women with plenty of space to choose your own adventure or rest, consider joining me in Marvão in September. 6 spaces available. Registration closes by August 21st.

Read the details linked here and then message me to schedule a quick, 15 minute chat if interested.

In the intense heat of an Alentejo summer, daily routines unfold alongside the birth of a lamb, the threat of wildfire, and quiet reminders of a changing climate.

It’s too hot to think.

Low pressure, flexible, affordable, and fun.

There's also the possibility of getting your own lodging and just joining for group activities if you prefer more flexibility/privacy.

New writing on the arrival of spring, the practice of devotion to this place, and moments that remind me why I choose to stay.

Then spring returns—gentle, warm, dressed in yellow and smelling of mimosa and broom.

For those of you who have been drawn here by my story of midlife, migration, rural living, and all the things that brought me from Portland to Portugal during perimenopause, I have started publishing personal essays about my journey. You can read and follow along here. And, please share any articles that you think others will see themselves reflected in. Thank you.
