Embracing Your Wise Woman Years

Perimenopause & Menopause Day Retreat

This small group workshop focuses on medical and lifestyle factors to support you through perimenopause and menopause.

Six amazing speakers will share their wisdom to empower women over the age of 40 to find their mid-life purpose and power.

We will explore the profound spiritual and psychological changes of menopause and invite you to embrace this time as a metamorphosis and the powerful creatures that we will emerge as on the other side!

Embracing Your Wise Woman will be a life-changing day of connection and reflection. It’s an opportunity to reframe menopause to a wonderful and transformative experience to be celebrated.
