Here’s your Wise Power Retreat conversations:

ONE:

The Alchemy of Menopause: Re-imagining the Second Half of Life

With Sharon Blackie, award-winning writer, psychologist and mythologist

Sharon explores how she worked with menopause as an alchemical process, transforming the physical and emotional heat into a life-enhancing fire that can guide the last decades of our lives, which - as Sharon says - may be the most dynamic of all.

TWO:

The Initiation of Menopause: Coming Home to Yourself

With Chameli Ardagh, visionary and CEO of Awakening Women

Chameli shares generously from the darkest moments of her menopause initiation, revealing how it has awakened a profound humility, self compassion, and a new capacity for inner mothering which is transforming her life and work.

THREE:

The Shape-shifting of Menopause: Finding our Way Through Liminal Times

With Omisade Burney-Scott, the creator of The Black Girls Guide to Surviving Menopause

A ‘cartographer of the menopausal multiverse’, Omisade has gathered 100s of stories about how we can shapeshift into a more soulful version of ourselves in menopause, receive support, trust our bodies and create a deeply meaningful life post-menopause.

FOUR:

The Vulnerability of Menopause: Opening up to New Creativity, Truth and Clarity

With Kate Codrington, the author of Second Spring: A Self Care Guide to Menopause

Menopause returned Kate to her creativity, though it was a bumpy ride. Kate shares how she took care of her deep self in menopause and held herself through the unravelling, along the way realising the truth that ‘if it looks messy in menopause, you’re on the right path’.

FIVE:

The Transformation of Menopause: Stepping into our Responsibility to Life

With Jane Hardwicke Collings, teacher, former midwife and creator of the School of Shamanic Womancraft

Jane shares how she prepared for menopause, the gifts it gave her of intuition, vision, confidence and courage, and the new responsibility she feels post-menopause - to be the archetypal grandmother stepping into her power and using it for the good of all, and the earth.

SIX:

The Fire of Menopause: Navigating the Emotional Heat

With Marcela Lobos, author and teacher at the Four Winds Society

Direct from the midst of the menopause initiation, Marcela shares how she is weaving a web of resources around her as the menopause alchemical process burns through all that isn’t her true self, especially in her intimate relationship.

SEVEN:

The Re-ignition of Menopause: Living a Committed Life

With Lynne Twist, visionary activist, author and founder of The Pachamama Alliance

In menopause, Lynne received a series of visions which inspired a profound shift in her calling, from ending world hunger, to restoring the world’s rainforests. Lynne celebrated how she is more turned on and fired up than ever in her 70s, and the potential that awaits us all post-menopause.
