What If Menopause Is Not a Disaster Waiting to Happen?

I’ve said it before—and I will keep shouting this from the rooftops until my dying days—what if the critical, provocative energy of menopause is actually a sign that you’re coming to your senses?!

The truth is that menopause is an immense life event. It’s a complete hormonal shift in the landscape of your physical and overall health, it’s also a psychological and emotional transformation. And it can become a great initiation, even a homecoming, if we’re supported to experience it this way. 

I’ve devoted many hours of ethno-biographical research to learn and develop a radical new approach to health, creativity, leadership and spiritual life through the magic of menstrual cycle awareness and conscious menopause.

I passionately believe that now is the time to restore the full power of menopause in our world.

Now is the time to rewrite the collective story of menopause.

Now is the time to formally restore menopause to the initiatory arc of a menstruator's spiritual path and restore its rightful place within the context of our soul’s maturation.

The brilliance of menopause has become buried in a culture in denial of cyclical life. A culture obsessed with constant production, consumption, growth and doing.

Menopause interrupts the current cultural momentum and as such is often portrayed as a problem. A looming disaster. Something to be endured.

Many people find themselves blindly navigating their way through this transition, feeling lost, mad and dismissed.

They have been cast outside of a dignified holding and respect for this rite of passage that is, in fact, significant to the whole community.

Menopause is an initiation - an adventure in spiritual maturation - that can deliver you to a place of great meaning and power, a sense of inner coherence and belonging, and dare we say, Union.

Yes, a deep spiritual fulfilment - a sense of connection to and serving something greater. Menopause is the true story that is trying to happen regardless of whether you are connected to it or not.

Menopause is a holy initiation, a pause in ‘normal life’ that catapults you into an unknown territory.

What you may not know is that there is a meaningful process at work - an inner orchestration that is exquisitely designed to deliver you home to your true self.

It profoundly serves us, and the whole community of life. Initially it reveals your shadow, your wounding, in order that you might fully receive yourself and be freed to be who you are. And thus come in to a sweet intimacy with life and what it is calling you to step up to.

Welcome!

Take your seat, claim yourself and liberate your power.
