The transitions and challenges that women face at midlife with hormonal and psychological changes, is a topic rarely addressed in culture except for the way Hollywood makes women out to be crazy. While much is said about the "midlife crisis" for men, it is rarely acknowledged that women also go through a big change at this time in life, perimenopause to menopause. The result is that women often feel alone as they go through what seems like the loss of their youth and their beauty... and in many, many cases, their value. Not only is there scanty information about this tremendous change available, but what little is out there is steeped in resignation and lacking in feminine wisdom teaching.

​

Such a huge part of what happens to Woman in her midlife is that she falls prey to the cultural adoration of the Maiden's form. As she watches her body change, largely outside of her control (thank you, hormones), while being immersed in a world culture that worships youth and beauty, Woman finds herself having no true and natural context for dealing with the appearance of wrinkles and cellulite and the disappearance of her former muscle tone. Add to that hot flashes, unpredictable bleeds and moodiness, and she experiences herself as the "hot mess" that culture would label her.

​

This program is the solution to that dilemma.

This is a recorded 90 minute call with Deonesea La Fey and Jamila Suzanne, HMS Mentors, as a precursor to their nine month exploration of Woman at Midlife alongside the HMS curriculum. The focus of this workshop is on addressing the midlife changes from a place of deep feminine wisdom teachings that address the hormonal, emotional, physical, spiritual and psychological aspects of this huge initiation of womanhood.
