Meeting Yourself in the Middle of Your Life

Soulful gatherings of encouragement, inspiration, and wisdom for women in midlife.

So, you’re in the middle of your life. How do you feel about that?

If you’re like many women, you’re likely someone who feels they are in a challenging, important, and invigorating season of life.

Maybe you’re someone who is:

  • asking lots of questions: Who am I …really? Is this all there is? What’s important to me? How do I age well? What do I need?

  • reassessing your priorities, desires, values, and wanting to make some redefinition of how you move in the world

  • recognizing that time is precious and you’re reevaluating some of your habits and patterns in work, family and friendships

  • sensing things are needing to be shed, but not sure how to support yourself through some of the unravelling

  • holding the grief and disappointment of how parts of your life and relationships have turned out up to this point

  • uncovering new meaning in what makes you tick and wanting to go after freedom, beauty, and joy

  • wandering in curiosity about what the future could hold and embracing the uncertainty

  • discovering that your opinion matters and looking to find your voice and values in new ways

  • navigating the significant changes in body and mind, not to mention emotionally and spiritually

  • seeing things as they are instead of how you thought they should be and wanting to learn how to accept it

  • longing to connect with.your inner life and have it resonate with your outer life

  • juggling so much and looking for some slower pace to digest it all

  • looking for other women who are also navigating the discomfort and awakening of this midlife season

Any of this resonate for you?

Are you reckoning with the tug of war between

the first and second half of your life?

 

Introducing “Middle Groups”

Beautiful, generous, restoring, connection with a small group of women to find inspiration, encouragement and wisdom for this mid life season.

Who is this for?

Women between the ages of 40 ish and 55 ish. We know that people in their late 30’s and late 50’s can also feel the tumult of the mid-life moment, so there is some flexibility, but most women participating will fall into the 40-55 years of age window.

AND…if you are a man, or fall under 35 or over 60, please let Christa know directly you’d be interested in a group that connects you to others similar to you. Plans are in the works for them all!

These group gatherings will be facilitated by Christa and will include:

  • intentional slowing down in order to turn inward and listen deeply to the movements of your life and soul

  • thoughtful ideas and wisdom to help you in this season

  • open sharing and conversation as you feel comfortable

  • witnessing others and being witnessed at this moment in your mid-life

  • curated embodied practices for presence

  • rituals to metabolize grief and access joy

  • supportive resources including articles, podcasts, books, poetry, music and more

    *as groups are formed and forming, special attention will be given to the particular interests/stage/needs of each group
