Wondering why we need to go through menopause?

Why, when you are doing all the ‘right’ things, you are still struggling?

Feeling like you could or even should, be doing more, or doing things differently?

You are not the only one.

 

This is a day designed for any woman in perimenopause, or beyond, looking to shed old stories about themselves and make room for a new. An opportunity to understand your body and empower yourself amongst other women.

We start with an overview of female reproduction to understand the magic of our bodies and biology over time. We then compare science with society’s expectations, traditional views of eldership, and alternative views on menopause and change.

In the afternoon, we explore seasons and cycles as ways to support our growth. Autumn is an especially good time to shed old stories, look at where we are in life, and begin to dream about what might come next.

Throughout the day, we will look at different ways to regulate our nervous system and move those sticky emotions out of our body

Bring your lunch, a pen, and a book to write in. We will provide the rest.

Ever set goals and struggled to follow through?

July is the time to reset.

Join us for a day to learn new skills and help grow and nourish our souls.

 

How do we grow and nourish our dreams? What is holding us back from taking action on our goals and dreams? We all have habits that stop us from achieving our goals. What keeps us clinging to old stories? How do we transition from old ways to new ones?

Whether your mission is to nurture your family so you can flourish, start a new project, or simply restore balance in your life, we have some tips and tools that may be able to help you.

We will learn about goals and look at what is helping or hindering us from achieving our dreams. Ways to connect to nature in an urban setting and develop our creativity to give balance to our lives.

Bring your lunch, a pen, and a book to write in.
