Getting straight to the point...I knew that the journey through menopause was to wandered raw. I knew HRT was not for me (synthetic hormones and such are not my friend) not to mention going against my inherent womanly intelligence. I knew deep within me that this was to be a natural, sometimes herb-assisted, process.

​

Absent of any human guide in the early days, I listened to my gut, my heart and spirit insight feeling menopause as an initiation into a deeper more connected version of myself. If the Shamanic Way has taught me anything over the last 17 years, then it is to face myself again and again and to interrupt the process of menopausal transformation would only prolong the inevitable.

​

I had no wish to remain in the 're/productive' part of my life, I had a yearning to discover my own depths, to engage with who I was to become post-menses. The sovereign, wisdomful woman - to begin the road to elderhood and rediscover an age old transition first hand. I believe in the power of the Wisdomful Woman & work to restore her position in modern society - an environment in much need of matriarchal guidance, care & support.

​

You could ask, "Well how did you KNOW this was the way for you?"

I have a history of 'women's problems' - I joke sometimes saying

"My womb was screaming at me for most of my life, however, I had neither the education or ears to hear" Having lived with 

 

​

For me at least, nature knows, the body knows and we too can 'know' if we are prepared to stop and listen.

​

​The following points were all part of my own journey along with much more...

​

• Listen to the stories of our lives; where were the challenges, repeating patterns, shitty situations that had been swallowed, over-looked or ignored. Peri-menopause & the days beyond will invite you to revisit all and everything that is so far unresolved... this is training for the Wisdomful Woman!

• Listen to the intelligence of our bodies and trust in the ancestral guidance that is available to all. Female humans are one of only three species on Earth that traverse menopause - there is a reason for this. 

• Listen to the wombs voice, hear her new name, as a being who is ready to live a new purpose. 

• Listen to your bodies new seasonal rhythm... there is still a four phase 28 day 'month' - a Spring, Summer, Autumn & Winter - when we live by this renewed rooted cycle life flows... 

• Don't listen to the narrative of fear, symptoms, negative views of aging - the beauty & pharmaceutical industry slop out on the path ahead of us.

• Don't listen in fact to anyone who tells you you're going mad (even if you feel that way a little bit) 

• Don't listen to those who tell you to be more tolerant - you've likely been tolerant, too fucking tolerant, your whole life... (Calm loving kindness does return post menopause - it's just for now 'intolerant women' are learning what is theirs and what is not - it's a burning off process - you have NOT become a horrible person)

• roots in the Amazon Jungle. 

Received firstly and brought to the modern world by Marcela Lobos, this rite 

​

​

In a beautifully curated sacred space, supported by the Forever Grandmothers, this energetic initiation guides us in giving birth to the death & fear that resides within the womb space, individually, ancestrally & collectively; no longer a victim but a sovereign woman

who lives in alignment with her own sacred centre. She hears clearly, the guidance & insights from within.

As Women heal and relive themselves of the age-old story of oppression, the Earth heals in unison.

A new map, a new way of living generates itself as you too become a guardian of the Womb Rite.
