This is part of the 
Weave the Unfolding 
series that honours our mid-life awakeneing. This circle is dedicated to
 perimenopause
. It is not focused on the physical change but rather the spiritual transformation that comes alive alongside the hot flashes and brain fog.
Autumn is connected to the 
queen, virgin, mage or wild woman archetype
. It is also the perimenopausal portal for folks with wombs and blood cycles. Just like a queen or virgin forest, we are whole unto ourselves.The threshold that stands in our way at menopause is the chance to reclaim our life, and what our soul's code was meant for. It is a time to remember what we love, reclaim what we were meant to do with our life, and also to re-wild in the best possible way.
Fall is the time where we balance light and dark. It is the time where we start to compost and shed what is coming to completion. Known as the harvest season, we honour the Earth and the Earth that is our own body. September honours the turning of the wheel, October is when we notice the veil is the thin between our world and our ideally departed. If our womb is our oracle, the luteal stage is the shape-shifting truth teller.
We’re turning even more towards the darkness.
What needs to die in you in order to be reborn as the autumn queen that you are? What roles have you been playing for others, but at your own expense? It is time to step into your sovereignty and let go of the roles of servitude.
Come Join the Ceremony
I would be so honoured if you would join me and others as we celebrate this threshold and rite of passage. It is not acknowledged with reverence as it should be and so this circle gathering is one way to create more ceremony for this radical transformation.
Together we will celebrate becoming whole unto ourselves, honouring our Inner Queen or Mage, caring for our wombs and red thread line, and honour the cycles of the earth and our own bodies. This container centres our crown, heart and wombs as a way to hold space for perimenopause. This is a sacred journey to honour your in your fullest mind body and soul.
To Prepare and Arrive
In this circle, we will discuss the cyclical nature of our menstrual cycle, connect to the story of our red thread menstrual line, and also weave in some magic with a snakeskin shedding ritual craft and a guided meditation. This circle also blends somatic practices like womb breathwork with story-telling and listening. We will also incorporate journal reflections and a soothing cup of tea. We will follow a spiral path that flows by honouring the rites of passage - grief, separation, transition, and integration.

“
Vania holds space so beautifully, leading with her heart. The care that goes into preparing for a circle is so clear when in the space with her. The ability to drop into such a safe container makes it possible to be all the more present and connected to the hands-on play and exploration of ritual craft, which invites in both levity and a sense of grounding.”
