The Centered LeadHER Retreat
A Women's Leadership and Wellness Retreat on the Mornington Peninsula
When was the last time you made space for yourself?
For women who lead at work or hold everything together at home, wellbeing often comes last. The Centered LeadHER Retreat, co-hosted by Carolyn Apostolou and Chloe Moorfoot, is a few days to step away, reconnect with what matters and decide what’s next.
Join a small group for leadership development, practical wellbeing experiences and the rare chance to slow down, guilt-free.

“It was exactly what I didn't know I needed. It created space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most as a leader and human being.”

The Next Retreat: 17 to 20 February 2027
Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria
Set in a beautiful private home in Red Hill, this four-day women's leadership and wellness retreat offers a change of pace in one of Victoria's most beautiful regions. An easy drive from Melbourne, it's far enough from the everyday to help you properly switch off.
With nourishing food, thoughtful sessions and time to simply be, every element is designed to help you feel cared for while making room for the things that matter to you.
Our previous retreat was held at Cape Schanck. In February 2027, we'll gather in Red Hill for another restorative experience.
An intimate retreat, thoughtfully designed for meaningful connection.
What's Included
Your retreat experience brings together professional development, personal wellbeing and time to recharge, without overfilling every moment of the itinerary.

Leadership and wellbeing sessions
Practical, thought-provoking sessions exploring energy, managing pressure, boundaries and sustainable habits.

Time to recharge
Space to rest, walk, journal, enjoy the surroundings or simply sit quietly, with no pressure to be productive.
Meaningful connection
Honest conversations and shared experiences with a small group of women who understand the challenges and rewards of leadership.
Why The Centered LeadHER Retreat Is Different
Most women don’t need another list of things to do. They need the time, support and space to work out what matters and make changes that last.
Away from the demands of work and home, the retreat gives you room to reflect on how you’re leading and feeling, explore practical approaches to wellbeing and leadership, and rest without guilt.
Sharing it with women from different industries and backgrounds adds fresh perspectives and the reassurance that you’re not the only one juggling competing priorities.
“The group sessions on understanding and managing everyday pressures and emotional fatigue were really helpful and easy to relate to. I walked away with two practical tools and fresh perspectives from the other women.”
“What made this retreat truly special was the balance between personal wellbeing and professional development. I left feeling re-energised, with a clear mind and renewed focus.”
“Surrounded by leaders from diverse industries, I was reminded of the strength that comes from shared experiences, open dialogue and intentional rest. I walked away feeling inspired, recharged and incredibly grateful for the wisdom and generosity of the women in the room.”
Who Is This Retreat For?
The Centered LeadHER Retreat is for women who lead: in business, at work, in their communities or at home.
It may be right for you if:
- You're carrying a lot and rarely give yourself time to pause.
- You want to look after your wellbeing without losing sight of your ambitions.
- You're navigating change, competing priorities or the pressure to keep delivering.
- You'd value space to reflect on your leadership, your next chapter or the habits you want to build.
- You're looking for genuine connection with other women who understand the realities of leadership.
You don't need to be a senior executive, and you don't need any previous experience with yoga, meditation or retreats. Just come as you are.
“My experience at the retreat was regenerative. It allowed me to step back, reflect on my leadership journey, and return with renewed energy and clarity.”
