NOON Circle – Exeter

What are NOON Circles?

NOON’s signature gatherings – NOON Circles – are a unique opportunity for women in midlife (Queenagers) to get together and engage in open conversations about what’s on their mind. Circles are casual and you can share as much or as little as you want. We tackle challenges and share triumphs, swap stories and have a laugh. It’s a great source of support and insight … and one of our most popular offerings. Find out what to expect at a NOON Circle here.

SOLD OUT: NOON does the Camino Walk
2026-04-12 00:00 - 2026-04-18 23:59 | England
Come and join fellow Queenagers in Portugal on our NOON Camino Walk for 6 nights from Sunday 12 April through Saturday 18 April 2026.

Also known as the Camino de Santiago, the Camino Walk is a series of world-famous pilgrimage trails more than 1,000 years old. Millions have traversed these trails – many for religious or spiritual reasons, others to enjoy the sheer beauty of the landscape.

We will walk 110km of the Portuguese coastal Camino walk. This itinerary combines the best of the coastal route and inland route between Viana do Castelo – one of Northern Portugal’s prettiest places – and Santiago, following the variant along the River Minho, which separates Portugal from Spain.

The price includes the walking tour, accommodation in a shared twin room with an ensuite bathroom, and one bag to be carried between hostels. Please note that the cost excludes flights (see details below), lunch on the trail, dinners and some taxis – we will share the cost of these.

What’s included

The price includes the walking tour, accommodation in a shared twin room with an ensuite bathroom, breakfast each morning and one bag each to be carried between hostels. You’ll also get all the supporting information, walking notes, map, the necessary Camino documents and transport to airport at the end of the tour. Here is it broken down:

What to expect

Arrival and welcome: The day commences at the light-filled Wasing Pavilion, where we indulge in tea and engage in meaningful conversations.

Yoga: Then we embark on a serene journey with a gentle breathwork and yoga session led by the talented Lesley Thomas, setting the tone and energy for the day.

A walk to the lake: Next, we’ll take a leisurely stroll through the ancient woodland, leading us to the tranquil lake and sauna area. The Wasing retreat in July is a gorgeous time to immerse yourself in the pristine pure waters, the lush surroundings – and the bliss of alternating between dips in the wood-fired sauna perched on the lake’s edge.

Lunch alfresco: Afterward, we’ll gather around an open fire for a delicious and healthy lunch bowl. With vegetarian and vegan options available, you can savour the flavours and indulge in hot cacao and tea, nurturing your body and spirit.

The Wasing NOON Circle: Once satiated, we’ll find a spot for a transformative NOON sharing circle, facilitated by NOON’s founder, Eleanor Mills. Depending on the weather, this might be outside under a tree or in the Pavilion. Then we’ll delve into discussions on embracing new chapters in midlife and becoming the women we’ve always aspired to be. This sacred space fosters support and compassion, where stories are shared and hearts are heard.

Final goodbyes: As the day draws to a close, we’ll depart thankful for our glorious day together and feeling refreshed, inspired and connected to a new group of friends.

What to bring

Wear loose comfortable gear for yoga and stretching. Bring Wellington boots or walking boots – it can be muddy – and a warm coat, layers of jumpers and a woolly hat. You’ll also need a swimming costume and a towel.

New to cold water swimming?

Fear not! Our attentive team will provide excellent care and supervision. We’ve coaxed the most reluctant and cold-averse in and now they are converts! Additionally, you can luxuriate in the wood-cabin sauna, enjoying the warmth while engaging in friendly conversations with newfound companions, all while admiring the majestic red kites soaring above the forest canopy.
