THE TRANSFORMER RETREAT
The Evolution of Perimenopause and Menopause
A Three-Day Women’s Retreat to Rest, Reset, Rebuild, and Renew
Step away from everyday demands and make room to understand the changes you’re experiencing—and what you need in this season of life.
Nestled in the peaceful beauty of the Pocono Mountains, The Transformer Retreat is an intimate experience for up to 12 women navigating perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause.
Changes in your body, sleep, energy, relationships, or sense of identity can leave you with questions you haven’t had the time—or the space—to explore.
Here, you can ask those questions, connect with other women, and begin planning your next chapter with greater understanding and confidence.
Whether you’re just beginning to notice changes or reflecting on life after menopause, you’ll find a welcoming place to learn, share, and recharge.
🌿 Rest
You spend so much time caring for others. This is an opportunity to make room for yourself.
Enjoy three days and two nights in our beautifully appointed, 7,000-square-foot mountain retreat, surrounded by the beauty of the Pocono Mountains.
Relax beside cozy fireplaces, enjoy the screened porch and outdoor patios, unwind in the jacuzzi or sauna, and spend time in conversation—or quiet.
Let someone else prepare breakfast. Put down your to-do list. Give yourself permission to pause.
🌸 Reset
When your needs change, familiar routines may need to change with them.
Through guided learning and reflection, you’ll begin putting your experience into words, identifying questions for your healthcare team, and considering what support could make daily life more manageable.
You’ll have space to ask:
-
What changes am I noticing?
-
What do I want to understand?
-
Where do I need more support?
-
What expectations or responsibilities need adjusting?
You don’t need every answer before you arrive. Bring your questions and begin there.
🌱 Rebuild
The Transformer is one of the four signature curriculums of Breaking Cycles, created to help women navigate perimenopause and menopause with understanding, support, and confidence.
During this three-day retreat, you’ll be introduced to its five modules: Understand, Support, Connect, Redefine, and Renew.
Together, we’ll explore how to:
-
Better understand this transition and describe your experience.
-
Prepare questions for healthcare appointments.
-
Consider care options, daily practices, and sources of support.
-
Communicate changing needs in your relationships.
-
Set boundaries and share responsibilities.
-
Reflect on identity, work, family roles, and personal priorities.
-
Create practical next steps for the chapter ahead.
This retreat introduces the five-module journey and gives you tools to continue reflecting and learning at home.
✨ Renew
What would it feel like to leave with a clearer understanding of your needs—and a plan that makes room for them?
You’ll leave with your workbook, new connections, questions to guide future care conversations, and a personal plan for the next 90 days.
Perhaps your next step is asking for help, returning to an interest you’ve missed, or making a change in your daily routine.
Your next chapter can begin with something small and meaningful.
Your Three-Day Journey
🌅 Module One — Understand
What is Happening to My Body and My Life?
Begin by learning the language of perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause.
Explore changes women may experience in sleep, mood, concentration, physical comfort, and intimate health, while recognizing that new symptoms deserve attention rather than assumptions.
We’ll also make room for different experiences, including early, surgical, and medically induced menopause.
Your takeaway: A personal symptom journal and questions to bring to a healthcare appointment.
📜 Module Two — Support
What Care, Resources, and Daily Practices Can Help Me?
Explore what a personal support plan might include: professional care, emotional support, nourishment, movement, rest, and trusted relationships.
We’ll introduce questions to ask about hormone therapy, nonhormonal options, supplements, and complementary approaches so you can prepare for informed conversations with qualified healthcare professionals.
Your takeaway: A support plan that reflects your needs, preferences, and everyday circumstances.
“I have a plan for support.”
✨ Module Three — Connect
How Do I Care For My Relationships While Honoring My Needs?
Explore communication, intimacy, friendship, parenting, and caregiving during a season when your capacity may be changing.
Practice explaining your experience, making specific requests, and setting boundaries without feeling that you must justify every need.
Your takeaway: A relationship support map and clearer language for asking for help.
“I can honor my needs and stay connected.”
❤️ Module Four — Redefine
Who Am I Becoming, and What Matters to Me Now?
Make room to reflect on changing roles, body image, aging, grief, work, and self-worth.
Consider what you want more of, what you want less of, and which priorities deserve a greater place in your life.
Your takeaway: A personal values statement and a picture of the life you want to build.
“I can define what matters to me now.”
👑 Module 5 — Renew
How Will I Live My Next Chapter?
Bring your learning together as you explore purpose, creativity, enjoyment, legacy, and ongoing care.
Choose a few meaningful priorities and consider how to adapt when life interrupts your plans.
Your takeaway: A practical 90-day plan and a personal commitment for your next chapter.
“I have a direction for my next chapter.”
