If you are reading this, you already know something is shifting.
Maybe it’s your hormones, your sleep, your cycles. Maybe it’s
your patience, your desires, your sense of who you are in this
season of life. Maybe you’ve been calling it “stress,” “burnout,” or
“just getting older,” but some wiser part of you knows: this is a
threshold.
I want to invite you to step through it on purpose.
Join us in the Mountains for a weekend devoted to
your second spring—a sacred, science-meets-mysticism retreat
for women in peri & menopause who are ready to turn confusion into clarity, burnout into turn-on, and pain into possibility.
Together, in circle and ceremony, in workshops and in wild
laughter, we will:
- Decode your hormones & heat with compassion and clarity
- Release the old spells that say you are “too much,” “too old,” Or “past your prime”
Remember- your body as an oracle- and pleasure as holy AND necessary medicine
There comes a point where “someday” starts to sound like a lie:
Someday I’ll write the book.
Someday I’ll feel at home in this changing body.
Someday I’ll stop pretending my marriage / life / career still fits.
