Transforming the Menopause

Transforming the Menopause

A Journey into Wisdom, Power & Second Spring

A series of six monthly workshops | 10:00–13:30

Many women describe the menopausal transition as one of the most powerful and transformative times of their lives. It can be a paradoxical season — energy may rise and fall, sleep can be elusive, emotions can feel heightened — yet alongside the challenges often comes extraordinary clarity, insight, and truth.
As hormones shift, just as they do in adolescence or pregnancy, our entire inner and outer world begins to change. This time, however, we are moving not into youth, but into wisdom, authority, and embodied power. We become the guides, the advisors, the experienced ones — within our families, workplaces, and communities.
And yet, unlike other rites of passage, menopause is rarely honoured or supported. Many women are expected to “carry on as normal,” often hiding profound physical, emotional, and spiritual changes, with little understanding from those around them. This can turn what should be a powerful initiation into a time of confusion or dread.
This workshop series offers something different.

An opportunity to travel lightly through menopause.
A chance to listen deeply, to be supported, and to consciously engage with this rite of passage — not as a loss, but as a transformative rebirth. A Second Spring.
Through yoga, reflection, shared experience, practical guidance, and compassionate inquiry, we explore how menopause can become a time to resolve old emotional patterns, release what no longer serves, and allow our true selves to emerge with clarity and confidence.
The symptoms of menopause do pass — and when self-acceptance, forgiveness, and understanding are embraced, this phase of life can become profoundly liberating.
