WILD AUTUMN WOMAN

WELCOME

It’s wonderful to have you here! I’m Melanie, a Naturopath, Herbalist…. and perimenopausal Woman. Some of you will know me or have worked with me, some are completely new to this space. Whatever the case, we’re all about to get to know each other a whole lot better!

Here are a few things you need to know before we get started:

Each Sunday evening, I will release the course content for the coming week’s call.

You may wish to read through the notes to prepare for the call, or simply return to them in your own time to reflect on what was discussed.

The notes, prompts and topics I offer into this space are here for your preparation or reflection. Consider them as insights into the incredible journey your body is undertaking; may they offer you comfort as you stand on the threshold of your Elderhood (and your heart).

Saturday sessions are held from 8-9am. These are practice-based gatherings of embodiment and ceremony, and a space for sharing. So please bring your questions, musings, poetry or art and let’s pour some creativity into the cauldron. I will be opening these sessions with an embodiment practice (movement or somatic process) followed by free stylin’ Eldering.

I invite you to enter this space slowly. To sip tea and receive your breath. Autumn is after all, a process of deep reconciliation. It cannot and should not be hurried. So arrive. Be here.

  • I will open each session @ 7pm Tuesday evenings and 8am Saturday mornings. Please try to be on time as it can be distracting managing participants after starting the call.

  • Take some time to prepare a space for your self. You may like to light a candle, burn incence or use an annointing oil.

  • Entering the call is a shared space. A coven. A gathering of Women. Let’s not treat it like TV.

  • Wear confortable clothing. Have a water or snack nearby. Brew tea. Dip a biscuit. Let’s be at home together.

Please add these dates and times to your diary.

We meet every Tuesday evening from November 7th, 7-8:30pm for 4 weeks.

Weekly embodiment sessions are held every Saturday morning from 8-9am. These sessions are our temple practice and a space for sharing.

A gentle reminder to take care of yourself over the coming month. Some of the topics and practices might be confronting, or perhaps even a little triggering. Be sure to nourish yourself, take time out if you need it, or use your usual supports. Go at your own pace. Know your limitations. I’m always available to chat if you need more assistance. Simply reach out.
