Midlife has truly dropped me on my arse.

I wish someone had told me that midlife is actually one big powerful initiation.

That the body changing beyond all semblance of control is actually the Dark Goddess us to release a version of self that we've outgrown.

If I had heard this concept four or more years ago, I could have started to prepare.

To put things in place and strengthen my body.

But instead perimenopause arrived - slowly at first, then more rapidly in recent years - and it has dropped me on my arse. HARD.

I truly had no map for it or no inkling it was coming.

Now 2 years in I am only just beginning to understand the huge amount of physical and emotional changes I am being forced to navigate..

Because despite all my years of personal development and embodiment work, this Initiation is not at all gentle.

Its like being plunged into the fiery pits of hell with no idea how I got there.

And, I know that I am not alone in this.

• The exhaustion that doesn't lift.

• The body that is shifting in unexpected ways

• The sudden and continual weight gain despite a healthy lifestyle and well tended nervous system.

Most of all there is confusion:

Why has everything that used to work has suddenly stopped?

But here's what I'm discovering - Through all of this, more parts of me are being forced to die,

My body is no longer taking no for an answer.

She is speaking louder than ever and she will not be pushed aside..

Which reminds me precisely of the energy of the Dark Goddess.. She is not subtle, she is direct and forthright.

I've finally accepted that initiation is happening whether I accept it or not...

So why struggle and make it harder?

Ladies, if you are experiencing some of this, please know that you are right on time.

Midlife is not a malfunction.

It is just a massive recalibration.

The Autumn of our lives, after decades of Summer.

Midlife is of the most powerful initiations a woman will ever move through, but we have to stop fighting long enough to receive what is hidden in this sacred offering.

This is where working with the Dark Goddess has been and continues to be, my greatest ally.

She is one of the few things that has kept me feeling sane amongst the repeated death and surrender.

She reminds me to trust, instead of pushing through.

To allow.

To stop forcing and to start listening even more deeply.

Midlife is the beginning of the next stage of a woman's LIFE.

It is very much akin to the Dark Goddess calling you home to an even more expanded and grounded version of yourself.

This is what we are exploring inside Wisdom from the Dark.

An 8 week live journey for the woman who is ready to stop fighting her initiation and start receiving its gifts, while walking hand in hand with the transformative energy of the dark feminine.

We will work with several goddesses in this exploration..

You may have already sensed them calling you; omens, dreams, a restlessness or a sense that something is incomplete..

Wisdom from the Dark begins Thursday 2 July.

8 weeks of potent embodiment

Early bird open until 15 June.

Payment plans are also available.

I am not here to do the work for you - only open the door so you can step through it yourself.

Yours in humble surrender,

Bree xx
