Many women are now seeing menopause as a major female rite of passage that takes us from our reproductive years to our Wise Woman years. Menopause is part of our human evolution and has a purpose. It is a time when we have the potential to step into our power and transform into a woman who is wise, sovereign, magical and connected to life.
These two-and-a-half-hour workshops are held every month at the Harmony Hub and explore the challenges of this passage to wisdom and power commonly known as menopause.
As we journey through this hormonal transition of challenge and change, we will explore issues such a hot flushes, anxiety, mood changes, sexuality, feeling healthy etc as well as working with strategies for support. we will also be exploring eldership, earth keeper, getting older and women's power. In these very unique wise woman gatherings, there will be discussion and exploration of issues, learning about herbal medicine, shamanism, drumming and ceremony.
Edwina is an experienced medical herbalist, menopause mentor, shamanic practitioner, celebrant, forager and drum maker. She has many years of experience guiding women through this major rite of passage. Drawing on clinical and personal experience, she will explore strategies for navigating the turbulent waters of perimenopause and beyond. These workshops are suitable for women who are journeying through menopause, post menopausal and elder women, as well as younger women who want to learn more.
This workshop will be for two and a half hours and each session will include discussion, herbal wisdom, sacred journey work, and drumming. the cost is £22, payable via PayPal. This includes comprehensive emailed handouts.

Wednesday 4th March 7pm - 9.30pm - Harmony Hub
Too often, at menopause, we feel tired. feeling like we would rather watch a good film and have a nice cuppa than make love. our libido and sexuality feel like they have been put in a big box, and we can't find the key. Along with this we may struggle with intimate dryness and fatigue. I this two-hour workshop, we tackle the taboo that older women shouldn't feel sexy or be sexy. Our herbal allies are Shatavari and Sea Buckthorn oil, and other gorgeous, wise woman herbs that can help give us some va voom.
These workshops are held in a safe, supportive space, and as part of these monthly wise woman workshops, we will also make wise woman medicine bags. The cost for this is £22 and it needs to be pre-booked via paypal

At menopause we enter an ancient and sacred rite of passage
Rewilding Menopause
At midlife, we enter a time of transition that takes us from our fertile years to our Wise woman/ Elder years. This can be seen as a rite of passage.
In indigenous / Elder cultures this can be a powerful time in which we encounter challenges and struggle in order to transform. It is also a time that should be held by the community and elders.
Menopause is a rite of passage that can leave women feeling lost, confused and coping with many physical and emotional challenges. It can also a time of profound spiritual growth. In modern times its also a time when women need other women and Elder women with knowledge and support.
