About
Why Retreats Work
There is something that happens when you physically remove yourself from the familiar patterns, expectations, and interruptions of daily life.
Getting Away to Get Clear
Your thinking changes. Space opens up. Things that seemed impossible to see clearly suddenly become obvious.
A Wise Life retreat is designed around this simple truth. We take a small group of women (never more than 12) to a beautiful place, and over several days we work through the PLAY Framework together. But it is not the location that does the work. It is the combination of distance, community, and structured reflection that creates the shift.
Every retreat is personally facilitated by Sally. The group is small enough that everyone gets individual attention. The days are structured but not rigid. And the food is always excellent.
What Makes Our Retreats Different
Small groups, always
10 to 12 women maximum. Everyone is seen, heard, and supported.
Practical, not performative
You leave with a concrete plan, not just a feeling. The work continues after you get home.
Beautiful, not bougie
The locations are chosen for their peace and natural beauty, not their Instagram appeal.
Structured and free
Mornings are for focused PLAY Framework work. Afternoons are entirely yours.
Real conversations
Something happens when women stop performing and start being honest. That’s what the evenings are for.
Meet Your Host
I'm Sally Jane Woods. I'm an internationally accredited transformation coach and the creator of the PLAY Framework. I run every retreat personally because I believe this work is too important to delegate.
I rebuilt my own life in my 50s after being told my best years were behind me. I found that the opposite was true, and I have been helping other women discover the same thing ever since.
The retreats are where the magic happens. Something about getting away, being honest with a group of women who understand, and doing focused work on what matters to you. It changes things.
