COR VALUES

You don’t need to have all the answers. Whether you're just starting out or already navigating change, we’re here to walk beside you. The support doesn’t end when the retreat does. We continue to offer resources, tools, and connection to help you integrate what you’ve learned.

SISTERHOOD

Growing a sense of sisterhood and solidarity among women, where friendships are nurtured, bonds are strengthened, and support is readily available.

RESILIENCE

Cultivating resilience and strength in the face of life's challenges that empower women to overcome obstacles and emerge stronger and more resilient than ever.

AUTHENTICITY

Creating a space where women can show up authentically, embracing their true selves and sharing their experiences openly and honestly without fear of judgment.

CELEBRATION

Celebrating life's victories, big and small, and finding joy in each other's company through laughter, shared experiences, and uplifting moments of connection.

WELCOME, I'M EVIE

I am the founder and ‘COR Connector’ of Coastal Oasis Retreats. The idea began with a simple but powerful vision: to create a safe, inspiring space for women navigating life changes. Like many of you, I reached a point in midlife when everything changed for me- my career, my family environment, identity, energy and direction. The usual ways of coping weren’t working. So I decided to explore, research and build something different not only to support my own life changes but to share my experiences with other women going through similar experiences. A place where women could get clarity on their own thoughts and feelings, share these with other likeminded women, and experiment with tools and expert guidance to bring about clarity in a environment of warmth, curiosity and courage. 

Over the past few years, I’ve personally walked through some of life’s most transformative chapters - a divorce after 30 years of marriage, an empty nest, relocation, menopause, and a full career shift. All of it left me questioning who I was and where I was heading. But it also made me realise how many other women were quietly feeling the same. 

That’s why I created COR Life: a space where women can step aside from life for a while and reset, without having to go through debilitating life experiences alone.

WHY WE DO IT

Women in later life often find themselves navigating major transitions, whether it’s career shifts, empty nest, menopause, or changes in relationships. In today’s fast-paced society, this can lead to burnout, overwhelm, and a lack of self-care. Many women feel lost, questioning their purpose and struggling to prioritise themselves after years of focusing on others.

 

Coastal Oasis Retreats provides a supportive environment where women can relax, share, laugh, and gain clarity while feeling lighter, energised, and more connected with a renewed sense of self.
