When was the last time you truly poured into yourself? Not just a quick moment to pause, but real space to gently reflect and acknowledge your journey of mental wellbeing, inner peace and personal growth?
Life has a way of pulling us in many directions, with daily demands of responsibilities and commitments, it often leaves us with little time for stillness, for listening inwardly and for connecting with who we are becoming. But what if we gave ourself permission to stop… and simply be?

You Are So Worth This
Modern life is full of noise and busyness - you give your energy, time, and heart to so many others. This is your opportunity to give back to you.
At Athena Mentors' retreats, we believe self care is a right, not a reward. These retreats are a gentle reminder that your holistic wellbeing matters and when you pour into yourself, everything in your life benefits - your relationships, your work, your world.
A Collection Of Retreats To Support You On Your Journey
At Athena Mentors, we understand that real development, begins when you make space for it. Therefore, our retreats are an invitation to do just that - to step away from the whirlwind and into a space designed to support reflection, promote motivation and growth and welcome a connection with oneself and others. And although each retreat is unique in structure and pace, what they all share is a safe, therapeutic, nurturing environment where you are holistically supported - emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically, by mental health professionals, personal development practitioners and inspirational communicators.
Why Mental Health Support Matters
Athena Mentors retreats, are facilitated by accredited psychological professionals, who are integral to the practice of fostering a safe and supportive environment, for reflection, exploration and development. These mental health clinicians bring specialised knowledge of human behaviour, emotional regulation, and trauma-informed care. Their clinical expertise enables them to recognise and sensitively address complex emotional states and unconscious patterns, that may arise during reflective practices.
By providing evidence-based therapeutic interventions and maintaining strict ethical standards, they can facilitate emotional processing and promote mental resilience. Transforming the retreat experience into a meaningful step in your psychological development and wellbeing.
