Retire & Refire: a very special experience with Siobhan Daniels

The Retirement Rebel is travelling to Ericeira

This November, Bluceira is doing something a little different, and we couldn’t be more excited to tell you about it.

From 9 to 13 November, we’re welcoming Siobhan Daniels to Bluceira for a retreat we’re calling Retire & Refire. If the name feels familiar, it’s because it borrows its title from her own life: Siobhan spent thirty years as a journalist and presenter with the BBC before deciding, at retirement age, that her story was only just beginning. She sold her home and possessions, bought a motorhome, and set off to travel Britain and Ireland, challenging the idea that growing older means slowing down. She’s become known, fittingly, as the Retirement Rebel, and she now speaks and writes to encourage others, especially women, to see this stage of life as a beginning rather than an ending. audible

That’s exactly the spirit we build Bluceira around, so having Siobhan join us in person felt like a natural fit.

What to expect

This retreat keeps everything you already know and love about Bluceira, our usual rhythm of movement, healthy eating and meaningful connection, and weaves in special moments with Siobhan herself: her story, her perspective on reinventing this chapter of life, and the chance to talk with her directly about your own next steps.

It’s five days to slow down, reconnect with your body and your people, and leave with a clearer, freer sense of what comes next, with someone who’s actually lived that leap sitting right beside you.
