Something in your life, your body, your gut, your intuition is talking to you — and you know (because you’ve ignored it before and that didn’t go so well) that it’s time to listen.

The first full day of the retreat begins slowly:
coffee, hot pastries or Greek yogurt and fruit, quiet walks through town, sunlight on the sea.
We gather in the morning for connection, intention-setting, creative practice, and gentle, somatic-aware work designed to help the nervous system soften and settle.

The afternoon is intentionally spacious.

You might nap, explore the town, continue your creative work, get a massage, wander to the sea, read, journal, or simply do nothing at all.

Later in the day, we gather again to swim in a hidden cove in the Aegean Sea, take a sunset walk, laugh, and connect.

Although these first days may seem simple, they are deeply intentional.

About Molly and Mehera

This retreat is guided by two women who bring different — yet fundamentally aligned and complementary — forms of care, creativity, leadership, and support.

We are also soul friends who have walked with each other through many of the biggest transitions of our lives. We know how the other person shows up in hard, beautiful, scary, and joyful seasons of change. We trust each other deeply, and honestly, we both feel so lucky to get to do this together.

Mehera brings laughter, truth-telling, creativity, beauty, and the ability to hold joy and sorrow at the same time. She weaves the creative and somatically informed transformational arc of the retreat.

As a coach, artist, retreat leader, storyteller, and founder of Your Knowing Self, her work focuses on helping women reconnect to themselves through honest self-reflection, creativity, somatic awareness, nervous-system support, and meaningful life transition work.

She has spent years guiding women through grief, reinvention, burnout, leadership, healing, creativity, and discovering what feels genuinely true.

Molly brings warmth, beauty, grounded leadership, delight, and a profound understanding of what it means to help people truly thrive.

She is the exact person you would want beside you if your world was falling apart — or if you wanted to sit on a couch, drinking tea and laughing until you cried.

As the author of Service Ready and co-founder of the beloved Chai Pani Restaurant Group, Molly has helped lead extraordinary transformation — not only within individuals, but across teams, organizations, leadership cultures, hospitality, and an entire industry.

Where Mehera’s work has largely focused on guiding deep one-to-one transformation, Molly’s work has focused on guiding large groups of people toward more humanity, creativity, care, connection, courage, and meaningful change.

She has a rare gift for helping people feel deeply welcomed, genuinely at ease, fully human, and encouraged to become more fully themselves.

Perhaps this retreat isn't the right fit, the right timing, or the right season of life for you.

That's okay.

If something about this work speaks to you, we'd love to stay connected.

This list is specifically for future retreats, workshops, programs, and other offerings that Molly and Mehera create together.

While this retreat is designed primarily for women in midlife transition, our larger vision is much bigger. We hope to create experiences for many different people, communities, and organizations in the years ahead.
