ELE|NA Highlights Menopause Awareness with ‘The Art of Graceful Change’ Retreat

Monday 9th of March 2026

To celebrate International Women Day, wellness brand ELE|NA is highlighting a lesser discussed part of women health namely perimenopause and menopause.

In March this year, the ELE|NA organized a closed event in Dubai Marina called Wellness on Deck that featured women health, media and hospitality voices to talk about hormonal changes and the necessity of having more open conversations. The event was held on a personal yacht and this provided room to debate, professional knowledge and experience exchange.

Others who were present included therapist Marisa Peer, a menopause specialist Dr Fiona Rennie, and journalist and filmmaker Punam Verma creator of Men on Pause. The event accentuated the need to enhance education and support concerning menopause, which is a phase through which most women respond differently.

The meeting also announced the next retreat, The Art of Graceful Change, of ELE|NA that will be held between 4 and 8 June 2026 at OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi.

The five-day retreat is aimed at working with the women facing perimenopause and menopause either naturally or medically. The programme will cover such topics as the hormonal literacy, metabolic health, sleep restoration, mobility, gut health and emotional wellbeing.

The retreat takes place in a peaceful island environment, where it will offer helpful information and mentoring stunts to help the attendees learn more about the physical and emotional transformations that may take place at this life stage.
