Holy Fire: Menopause circle for inner wisdom

This group is for people in peri-, menopause, or post-menopause who are curious about experiencing this life stage as a time of inner listening, clarity, and transformation rather than decline. It may be especially supportive for those feeling emotionally, physically, or spiritually unsettled by hormonal changes; questioning dominant medical or cultural narratives about aging; or sensing a call toward deeper self-trust and authenticity. The group welcomes those drawn to reflective, body-based, and relational exploration and is inclusive of diverse identities and experiences of menopause.

This group is grounded in decolonial feminist thought, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and a psycho‑spiritual framework. Together, we explore menopause as a powerful threshold where inner knowing becomes louder, clearer, and more trustworthy.

Through gentle somatic practices, parts‑informed reflection, and collective witnessing & storytelling, participants are supported in:

• Reconnecting with their bodies and embodied intuition
• Honoring emotional truth without urgency or fixing
• Reclaiming an inner elder wisdom long marginalized by anti‑aging and productivity‑driven narratives
• Restoring trust in oneself during a profound life transition
• This is a slow, relational, and affirming space to listen inward, be witnessed in community, and step into this life stage with greater ease, sovereignty, and connection.
