2nd Thursday of the month - W.I.T. Community Gathering
Our first gathering of the month will focus on our community! This will be a spin on the old style “salon” type discussion format with a relevant agenda that also includes a safe space to check-in with each other and share. During these meetings we might also host a local person or business of interest for a “fireside chat” facilitated discussion on an intentional topic. Potential topics we will explore include the heroine’s journey, the menopause journey, womanhood later in life, and so much more. |
4th Thursday of the month - W.I.T. Book Discussion
Here we will take deep dives into our chosen book. Life is busy and reading time is sometimes scarce so instead of a different book every month, we will be focusing on one book per quarter. This will allow everyone more time to read the book in it’s entirety and our group more time to actually discuss and explore key perspectives and insights . |
RADICALLY REIMAGINE THE SECOND HALF OF LIFE
"There can be a certain perverse pleasure, as well as a sense of rightness and beauty, in insisting on flowering just when the world expects you to become quiet and diminish."
-- from the book For any woman over fifty who has ever asked "What now? Who do I want to be?" comes a life-changing book showing how your next phase of life may be your most dynamic yet. As mythologist and psychologist Sharon Blackie describes it, midlife is the threshold to decades of opportunity and profound transformation, a time to learn, flourish, and claim the desires and identities that are often limited during earlier life stages. This is a time for gaining new perspectives, challenging and evolving belief systems, exploring callings, uncovering meaning, and ultimately finding healing for accumulated wounds. Western folklore and mythology are rife with brilliantly creative, fulfilled, feisty, and furious role models for aging women, despite our culture's focus on youthfulness. Blackie explores these archetypes in Hagitude, presenting them in a way sure to appeal to contemporary women. Drawing inspiration from these examples as well as modern mentors, you can reclaim midlife as a liberating, alchemical moment rich with possibility and your elder years as a path to feminine power.
