At Grit & Grace Adventures, we favour depth over density. Our retreats are intentionally kept small, usually with a maximum of 10 participants (Plus our founder, Penny). This ensures a boutique feel where the movement is fluid, the conversations are rich, and the focus remains entirely on your experience.

Our community is typically made up of women in their wisdom years, generally between the ages of 45 and 70+. We find that this shared stage of life, navigating career shifts, empty nests, or new beginnings—creates a beautiful and immediate common ground.

Most of the women in our circle arrive solo. We curate our journeys to ensure you feel a sense of belonging from the moment you land. You will find yourself surrounded by like-minded women who are also seeking meaningful connection and shared adventure.

Absolutely. Our journeys are not about physical "perfection" or advanced poses. We view yoga as a movement toward yourself. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or have never stepped onto a mat, our small group sizes allow us to honour your individual rhythm. It is about presence, not performance. If you are open to moving your body and breathing with intention, you are ready.

It means I am with you every step of the way. I personally curate the itineraries and lead the groups to ensure the high standards of Grit & Grace are met. This allow us to remain flexible, intimate, and deeply focused on the individual experience of every woman in the circle.

We focus our expertise on the ground by curating every detail of your sanctuary and local journey. While we do not book your international flights, we are happy to provide guidance on the best arrival times and airports to ensure your transition into the group is seamless. Once you land, we take care of everything else so you can simply arrive and be present.

Yes. Once you have reserved your place in the circle, you will receive a comprehensive preparation package tailored to your specific destination. This includes a curated packing list to help you balance comfort and style, as well as cultural etiquette tips and any necessary travel requirements. We ensure you feel fully prepared and confident long before your journey begins.

Absolutely. If you have a circle of six or more women, we can curate a private sanctuary designed specifically for your group. Whether you are celebrating a milestone birthday, honoring a new chapter after a divorce, or simply reuniting with your closest friends, we handle every detail from luxurious accommodations to soulful itineraries. This allows you to focus entirely on connection and shared memories while we manage the logistics of your private adventure.

We frequently witness the magic of multi-generational connection on our adventures. While our retreats are primarily designed for women in their wisdom years, we warmly welcome the daughters and granddaughters who wish to walk beside them. Whether it is a mother and daughter duo or three generations of women traveling together, these shared experiences offer a rare and beautiful opportunity to bridge the gap between generations through adventure and stillness.

Grit & Grace Adventures was founded on the belief that when women gather in a dedicated space, the energy shifts. In midlife, we are often defined by our roles, mother, partner, career professional. Our boutique journeys provide a sanctuary for you to shed those labels. In the company of other women navigating similar transitions, there is a unique safety that allows for true reflection, deep laughter, and the "unbecoming" of who you thought you had to be. We create a gender-affirming environment that celebrates the diverse stories and resilience of all women.

While our heartbeat is women’s travel, we occasionally open specific expeditions to partners and friends of all genders. These are rare, once in a lifetime opportunities where sharing the wonder with a loved one adds a different layer of joy. In these instances, we communicate with the group well in advance to ensure everyone feels comfortable and the boutique atmosphere remains intact.

We do. Whether we are in the heart of the Sacred Valley or the wilds of Botswana, we work closely with our local chefs to honour your needs. Please share your requirements with us during the registration process so we can ensure every meal is a nourishing part of your adventure.

To maintain the integrity of our small group journeys, all deposits are non refundable. Final balances are generally due 90 days prior to departure. We have a tiered refund schedule based on how close we are to the departure date. For full details on timelines and processing fees, please visit our dedicated Terms and Conditions page.
