Come Home to Yourself

A Transformational Retreat for Women over 50-ish

Mar de Jade, Chacala, Mexico

March 8-15, 2025

Are you in Transition?
It's time for a pause.

These years of our lives are full of changes. We are challenged to reflect, renew & come home to ourselves. Contrary to prevailing cultural messages, our later years are when we come into our full power. How can we recognize this power and integrate it into our best life?

  • From one career to another, or to retirement
  • From full house to empty nest
  • From fertility to menopause
  • Or... once again, not sure of where life is leading you?

Spend a week in Mexico exploring, releasing, playing, singing, creating, telling stories and reveling in a group led by seasoned midwife and group leader Máiri Breen Rothman.

Come home to yourself with this powerful women's retreat designed just for you:

  • Learn to quiet the mind so the path becomes clear
  • Apply practical approaches to optimize perimenopausal health
  • In a safe and brave space, support each other in stepping into our fullness
  • Engage in journaling, sharing, song, movement, art, and ritual
  • Savor alone time and discover a new community of friends entering midlife with intention
  • Nourish the body with sun, sea, and nutritious food
  • Sleep deeply and peacefully
  • Leave with a unique vision for moving forward

Mairi Breen Rothman, CNM, DM

Máiri has been a midwife for 28 years, and was a proud member of the first class of Doctors of Midwifery in the United States. A fierce advocate for women’s sovereignty, she has practiced in home, birth center, and hospital settings.

In addition to birth work, Máiri specializes in peri- and post-menopause. Recognizing the treasures within this stage of women’s development, Máiri integrates her health care knowledge with a deep attention to what has heart and meaning.

She pioneered Wise Wymmyn Circles™, a combination of individual well-body annual exams and group sessions which provide a place for mature women to connect around life and health through journaling, guided meditation, voice, movement, and ritual. Máiri has also studied feminine and earth-based spirituality, and has led many rituals and circles, from naming ceremonies, to coming of age ceremonies, to healing circles.

Mairi has taught at Georgetown University and the University of MD, and as guest lecturer at George Washington University, Johns Hopkins, and NYU, among others. Máiri has presented at the International Conference on Women and Spirituality at the University of Minnesota, at the Sacred Circles Conference at the National Cathedral in DC, and for Eighth Day Retreats in Maryland.  In her spare time, Máiri leads a women’s choir and enjoys traveling, movies, and snuggling with her grandbaby.
