Are you a woman and you’re tired of the negative narrative around menopause?
A new story around menopause
What if menopause wasn’t something to fear, but a powerful new chapter to explore? This retreat will encourage you to turn away from the negative stories surrounding menopause and discover a more expansive, empowering perspective on this natural transition.
Is there another way?
If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s more to navigating menopause than simply managing symptoms, this day is for you. We’ll explore positive, holistic, ancestral and empowering perspectives on this profound transition into our wisdom years.
Did you know that research has shown that around the world, women who are born into cultures where there is a positive story throughout their lives about the coming of menopause will struggle less both physically and mentally during that time?
The Journey of Womanhood
A woman’s life is made up of many beautiful and sometimes challenging transitions. From puberty and fertility to childbirth, menopause and beyond, our bodies and hearts transform again and again.
For some each transition may feel easy and smooth, for, others deeply challenging, but none of us should have to navigate them alone. Let’s create a culture where women feel informed, supported and connected to one another, so that we can meet each stage with awareness, compassion and a sense of possibility.
The Light and the Dark
Menopause isn’t always easy, and this isn’t about pretending that it is. For some women, this stage can be challenging, painful and deeply emotional, bringing feelings of loss, grief or uncertainty. It can be a time of taking stock, of the life we have lived, the choices we have made, the paths we took and perhaps the paths we didn’t.
For women who haven’t had children, this can sometimes bring its own tender feelings of loss, longing and deep grief about what might have been.
There can be both light and dark, joy and sadness, endings and new beginnings
This day makes space for all of it, while gently exploring what can emerge when we begin to turn towards this next chapter.
Are you actually wondering if it’s possible to feel okay during this change? In Chinese medicine it’s called the second spring!
Throughout the day, we’ll enjoy a beautiful yoga practice alongside an inspiring workshop exploring how we can embrace the menopause years with a fresh perspective. Expect powerful ideas, meaningful conversation, connection and plenty of space to reflect.
I will also be joined, by our much loved local herbalist Sarah Burt who will be sharing many ways that you can navigate these years using natural, affordable and powerful solutions.
You don’t need to be approaching menopause to join us. Perhaps you’re curious about what lies ahead and want to approach it positively, or perhaps you’re already post-menopause and wish you’d had more encouragement and support at the time. Wherever you are in your journey, you’re welcome.
It is always a joy to share these affordable retreat days a few times a year alongside my other multi award winning retreats in the UK and abroad. £65 for the day - just bring your own lunch.
The idea for these days is you receive exactly the same Mellulah Magic, you just bring your own lunch. Everything else is the same, beautiful yoga flow, blissful sound healing and gorgeous location.
