Welcome to MenoMagick! Our journey begins with a sacred gathering on Zoom to set the stage for the transformative days ahead. We’ll start with an overview of the weekend, introducing the daily themes and the companion workbook to guide our exploration. We’ll end with a grounding practice, a 30-minute slow flow practice designed to open our hearts and minds to the magick of this retreat.

Our morning begins with a revitalizing vinyasa flow practice, where alignment, intelligent cueing, and mindful breathwork are prioritized. This session is crafted to support our bones, muscles, and joints, providing essential insights into how menopause impacts our physical bodies. We’ll reflect on the pervasive influence of youth culture, body image, and the resistance we may feel towards physical change. This is where practical magick meets body wisdom, empowering us to embrace our evolving selves.

This nurturing restorative practice will acknowledge the physical, emotional, and spiritual shifts of menopause. Through mindful breathwork and restorative postures, you will learn to embrace your bodies with compassion and awareness, releasing the tendency to resist change.

Today’s vinyasa flow invites us into a deep exploration of the interconnectedness of mind and body. This dynamic, full-body practice will emphasize the pelvis, hips, and womb, the sacred centers of feminine power. As we move, we’ll reflect on societal constructs, taboos, and limiting beliefs that shape our experiences of physical change, emotional imbalance, and sexuality. Together, we’ll confront and dissolve our attachments to outdated identities and self-perceptions, transmuting them into new forms of self-expression and empowerment.

This class invites participants into a meditative space to explore and learn about the power of ritual in the menopausal journey that honors the wisdom of this life transition. With focused breathwork, visualization, altar building, and mantra practice, participants connect to their evolving identity and spiritual self, recognizing menopause as a deeply sacred journey.

Our final gathering is a powerful ceremonial practice that calls upon the four directions, the Avalon Goddesses, and the elements, inviting them to witness and guide our transformation. We’ll move with intention, embodying the grace and strength of our journey. Through meditation, breathwork, and prayer, we’ll direct our energy towards continued healing and growth, offering prayers for ourselves and the world around us. This ritual is a celebration of Spirit within, a redefinition of the feminine, and a preparation of the psyche for the profound work of Self that can only be realized through the wisdom of experience, age, and maturity.
