FINDING MEANING IN THE SECOND HALF OF LIFE

17 – 20 August 2026 

If you are in the second half of life and feel that quiet inner call, this Age of Wisdom Retreat was created for you!

This retreat is an invitation to pause, to turn inward, and to finally recognise what has been quietly growing beneath the surface of every experience you have ever had: a luminous, unshakeable wisdom. Not the wisdom of understanding, facts or achievements — but the wisdom of pure awareness, of a self that has watched the whole story unfold and remains untouched.

“Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and just listen. No more is needed.”  — Eckhart Tolle

Facilitated by John Homewood and Michelle McClunan — who bring over 40 years of combined experience in transformational work — The Age of Wisdom honours the second half of life not as a diminishment, but as an initiation. A dawning. The moment when the life you have lived becomes the teacher, and you become the one wise enough to listen.

John & Michelle will gently guide those ready to shift and awaken through the 5 Golden Keys to Spiritual Awakening – and your life will never be the same again.

Going back to your life not as the same person who arrived, but as someone who knows the difference between ego and essence, fear and soul love.

What we weave together…

• Deep intimate conversations and meditations rooted in presence — drawing on the teachings of stillness and the power of the Presence
• Process art sessions that give form to the wordless — joyfully creative, profoundly liberating
• Soft energy body movement practices to restore flow, vitality, and ease in the body you have lived in
• Immersive nature time to reconnect you with the rhythms of the Earth — and of your own deeper self

“The present moment always will have been. And in that, there is an indestructible peace.” — Eckhart Tolle

You will be gently guided to release the identities and patterns that no longer serve you, and to step across the threshold into the authentic essence of who you truly are. Not a new version of yourself. The original one. The one who was always here, beneath the noise and stories of the mind.
