THE WOMEN BEHIND IT ALL

Claire Taylor

NURTURER OF SOUL & SPACE

Twenty-five years in luxury hospitality and event curation. Qualified chef. Certified menopause coach. An experienced trainer and facilitator who has spent her career making people feel quietly, completely looked after.

Lyn Miller

CIRCLE HOLDER & WELLNESS GUIDE

Certified women's circle facilitator. Intuitive healer. Qualified wellness coach with a specialism in midlife health movement. Twenty years of holding space for women through the seasons that matter most.

We both new the existing offerings for women in midlife were missing something...So we built Wise Women Retreats.

We guide women from overwhelm to clarity, from burnout to balance - through practices that are both science-backed and spiritually grounded, and through honest reflection and meaningful connection.

Every experience is designed with love and care for where you actually are right now.

“Having never attended a women’s circle before, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but this experience far surpassed my expectations. Lyn and Claire created such a warm, safe space for reflection, connection, and being your authentic self, and every detail was clearly chosen with love and care.”

Women's Circles

The Wise Table™

Good news...Wise Women have created The Wise Table™ - a space where a women's circle and good food come together for a unique experience.
