Some beautiful Druid wisdom that perfectly sums up the energy of this precious time of year when the earth is slowly awakening. As are we. Slow and steady, with kindness and gentleness, is the way forward. It's also wonderful practice for that phase in menopause where we begin to feel a lift in our spirits and an urge to - one day - leave our menopausal cave 🥰

Well my intuition was right! Another welcome gift popped through the letterbox for another incredible woman joining our Descent and Rising programme to discover the Initiatory Path of Menopause.

There are still a couple of spots there for the taking. Is one of them yours? All calls will be recorded so you don't even need to be free tomorrow to join us, just catch up in your own time.

Tempted? All the info is in comments. Together we will rewrite the story of menopause. Together we rise.

Having a morning doing one of my favourite parts of my job, tuning into the women about to journey with me and sending them welcome gifts to bring them into the circle. This time I'm being guided to make an extra one for someone eho hasn't quite said yes yet! If it's you, get in touch. We start on Thursday! Details are in the comments 💞

THE CIRCLE IS GATHERING!

Please share so that all the women who need to be with us receive the invitation.

In 10 days we start a magnificent journey of descent and rising, travelling the wisdom of the year from autumn equinox to spring equinox to mirror the initiatory journey of menopause.

The women gathering are healers and sensitives, shamans and priestesses. They're women who know in their hearts and wombs the kind of world they want to create. So far they're also all Biodanza lovers! They're ready to travel this path of Descent and Rising in the very best of company, to laugh and cry and just BE together in it all and with it all.

Curious to know more? The link is in comments below. If it calls you please contact me to ask for anything that might help you to step into our circle. We're ready to welcome you home 🙏

I AM AT HOME IN THE DARKNESS

I'm someone who feels deeply comfortable in the darkness, the unseen, the void. I have travelled through so many dark nights of the soul myself and alongside my brave-hearted clients. I believe in my bones that the deeper the descent, the higher we may ultimately soar. This is never so true as in menopause, when we are collectively called into an initiation into power, wisdom and freedom like never before.

You know if you also have the capacity to hold the deep dark unknown. You're highly sensitive and feel so deeply. You crave solitude and silence. You're often an outsider, never quite feeling as if you fit in. That's because you came here to stand out, not to fit in. To be seen and heard. If you want to meet your menopause and post menopause journey rather than medicate or sedate it then you may be called to join us.

There is no need to be alone on this journey. Those of us who hold this magic have been seperated from it and from each other for thousands of years. No longer does this need to be true. In two weeks we begin a journey into the deep together. A journey of Descent and Rising with the energy of nature, the dark feminine and the wheel of the year.

Will you join us? We start in 2 weeks. Comment below if you want to know more. I'd be honoured to have you with us.

Why my new programme - Descent and Rising - and the initiatory path of menopause that we will be exploring starts with the Autumn Equinox. And why that point of the year is pertinent for peri-menopause.

Just comment below or DM if you'd like more information and I'll send it directly to you. I can't wait to see who steps into this magical container for transformation.

I am both humbled and excited by the inspiration that is pouring through me right now. This 6 month journey through the dark months of the year feels rich and wonderful. Just comment below if you would like more information. Only 12 women will be welcomed into this sacred vessel for transformation. Are you one of them?

I've been very quiet recently but LOTS has been happening and is cooking away in the cauldron. Here's an update from me! Please comment if you'd like more information or just want to connect and help birth this new age of the Divine Feminine. With love 🌹✨❤️

SHE WANTS TO BE SEEN AND HEARD!

🌸Meet Blossoming Woman🌸

Never heard of her before? Neither had I until she came to me on the eve of the Beltane new moon. I would say she whispered in my ear but she was louder and more persistent than that! She wants to be reclaimed and is now making it very clear that her message needs to be shared way beyond my monthly moon circles.

So I listened. I listened and created a ritual, a transmission of energy for any woman to take part in at any time. The tech side of it has driven me mad this week especially with "new moon brain" firmly in place...but now it's ready to share with you.

The blossoming woman who I met in this ritual and who I am firmly reclaiming as an aspect of myself is beautiful. She's infused with fertility and sensuality. A soft smile on her face, a swing in her hips. She wants to be part of our menopause and post menopause years. Let's welcome her with open arms!

I'm offering this workshop-ritual on a Pay it Forward basis. Please enjoy and contribute what feels right so that the next woman in the chain can receive the gift of meeting her own Blossoming Woman.

The voice I heard was very clear that I am to share her with women as far and wide as I am able. Please help me by tagging your soulful midlife friends, passing this on and helping her find her way out into the world 🙏🥰🙏

The link to the ritual itself is in the comments. All the information you need is on the PDF (I hope!) but do get in touch with any questions, feedback or to let me know how you find it 🩷

Are you post menopause?

We are too!

Virginia Compton Wellness and I are loving this phase of life and wanting to share our wisdom and experience of cyclical living with you. It's a natural path to health and vitality, meaning and purpose in our wise woman years.

Join us online on the 8th May. Comment below and I will send you all the details. We'd love to have you join us!

CAN YOU STOP? BEFORE YOU GO ROUND THE BEND?

How are your boundaries when it comes to saying YES to yourself and NO to others? Can you create space in your life to really hear what it is that you want? What your soul is calling forth in you?

Cyclical wisdom helps us to recognise that women are cyclical beings in a world that is not yet designed for us. It helps us to be kinder to ourselves and to start to demand more space for our deeper needs to be met.

I'll be stopping and holding this space for anyone who wants to join me at each new moon. Claiming that space for myself and taking a step towards a world where our cycles are honoured and accommodated. I'll also be teaching a workshop with Virginia Compton Wellness on Cyclical Wisdom in Menopause.

Sound interesting? Comment MENOPAUSE below and I'll send you information to your inbox and with love 🩷
