We’ve a radical idea for you: menopause holds the key to your deepest fulfilment and the future of our planet. This may sound bold, but to us, it’s indisputable.
In 2022, we hosted a live Wise Power Retreat, including a series of intimate conversations about the true potential and power of menopause.
The feedback was so good that we decided to make this an ongoing series. So, when you register below, you’ll receive access to the 10 original conversations about the power of menopause (see the full line up below), as well as a new conversations each month.
Our guests are a group of inspiring changemakers, teachers, and creatives, including visionary activist Lynne Twist, naturopathic doctor Lara Briden, and mythologist Sharon Blackie. As each guest shares what menopause has revealed and liberated in them, and you’ll be invited to explore the power, authority and purpose that menopause can awaken in you
You’ll receive our original retreat content, including seven in-depth, honest conversations between Alexandra Pope and our special guests, who share generously about their personal menopause experiences.
You’ll also receive three bonus interviews with experts in the field, about menopause health symptoms, sex in menopause and healing the mother wound in menopause.
OLD STORY
NEW STORY
Menopause is a disaster waiting to happen
Menopause is an initiation into power
You’re suffering from a health condition
You’re experiencing a lack of respect & support for the spiritual process you’re undergoing
You’re losing it
The critical, provocative energy of menopause is a sign that you’re coming to your senses
You’re past your best
Now you’re more needed than ever
We believe that menopause initiates you into a form of leadership that is infused with love and wisdom - your Wise Power.
We think of menopause as the Great Awakener. It’s a call for us to wake up – both to who we truly are and to our responsibility for Life.
It’s a personal transformation that also serves these times in which we’re living.
Humanity is facing unprecedented challenges on many fronts: the very future of our planet is at stake. We need to rise to these challenges and bring new, creative responses to seemingly insurmountable problems.
No one person or solution will provide the answer – we’re all needed. You have an important part to play – big or small, public or private – a singular Calling with which you’ve come coded.
Stepping up to and fulfilling your Calling will demand much of you, and so you need to be prepared. Menopause is your ultimate preparation.
Menopause mobilizes the singular genius of you - your Wise Power - to bring a positive influence to the planet, unleash your personal agency and potency and step into your authority.
We invite you to immerse yourself in this conversation series and find the power in your menopause process exactly as it is, so that together we can ignite a conscious menopause revolution.
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.
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.
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.
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’.
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.
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.
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.
