"There is no more creative force in the world than the menopausal woman with zest." — Margaret Mead
What You'll Experience:
Deep somatic practices through Kindrêd Meditation that provide self-regulation for your emotions, restoring balance and energy
Deep honouring of the body's intuitive source of pre-verbal language, with movement, breath, and emotions
Deep listening to the wisdom within - your own inner landscape - that will guide you into the next moments, days, years of your life
Deep connection with other like-minded souls, that will foster new levels of friendship (with yourself, with new and old friends)

Investment: Pay What You Can (suggested fee $70-$90)
The beauty of gathering in person, is just that, it’s in person, in real life, real time. Because we are social creatures, this type of human connection is vital to our nervous system’s health.
Although I enjoy the ability to meet with some of you online - as we are sometimes limited by space-time dimensions - there is nothing like being in your physical presence: hearing your unique and precious voice, feeling the warmth of your smile, your heartbeat syncing with mine as we share our stories, our wisdom, our honesty, our truth.
Utilizing the power of Kindrêd Meditation
we will learn to embody Crone’s
Authority: I give myself permission to be present/engaged/actively choosing how I want to respond to life - even when there is discomfort, challenge, uncertainty.
Agency: I own my sovereignty. I claim my right to a beautiful life - in my own body. I make choices that are healthy and beneficial for my body, for my life, my queendom.
Authenticity: I know who I am. I embody both feminine and masculine qualities (yin/yang): of grace, beauty, flow, chaos, collaboration and receptivity, & also of structure, form, security, safety, action, and focus.
