A Sacred Rite of Passage for women in all stages of Menopause
Menopause is a gateway into the spiritual power and lays the foundations for the second half of our lives. What we do inside menopause matters !!
Suitable for women in peri-menopause ~ menopause ~ post menopause
How could it support the journey through your menopause to receive embodied ancient teachings with someone who has over 20 years of experience working consciously with their womb cycle and 30 years experience of teaching and holding space in the area of women’s spiritual empowerment and healing ?
A workshop I led at Buddhafield 2024 exploring Menopause as The Great Awakener, the Wombdala, and Sex & The Menopause.
The Gift
The gifts offered through this Initiation are deeply misunderstood and buried under the weight of outdated ‘old system’ thinking.
We will work with ceremony, reflective practice, ancient womb teachings and time-tested tools and techniques to support each woman to emerge as her most radiant, powerful self.
If you are experiencing any of these things the workshop may support you:
- That you feel a new power rising inside that is hard to keep down
- That you are fearing what is ahead as a woman no longer in ‘her prime’
- That you can no longer stay silent and you HAVE to speak your truth
- That you want to leave your long term marriage
- That you feel a quiet bubbling well of excitement
- You feel tired most of the time
- Feeling like your whole life seems pointless somehow
- That you’re done with over-giving
- That you have gone off Sex
- That you are having loads of physical symptoms that make no sense
- That you ache to change your life but you’re not sure what or how
The Old Story
For millennia our culture has denied the power of woman’s womb consciousness and the importance of a the womb cycles. Instead, we have been taught to feel shame and a disconnection from our bodies’ inherent wisdom.
Women have been given the message that the menstrual cycle has no meaning beyond its biological function of reproduction and therefore menopause marks the end of her ‘value’ as a woman and she becomes invisible.
Women hit menopause and seemingly out of nowhere experience a whole host of unexplainable symptoms. Life seems to become a swirling storm of confusion, upheaval and exhaustion. Alongside all this we start to question everything we thought we knew or what matters to us. With no sacred teachings or support, we often resort to toughing it out, medicate it, or we spiral into depression and feeling like ‘life is over’.
The New Story
The truth is, menopause is an Initiation. A rite of passage into embodying our power to even more depth and aliveness. A power that comes from a well pool within, a power that is connected to deep time, natural Earth-based wisdom, a power that is in alignment with the mystery, a wisdom channelled and sustained from source. A power that puts herself at the centre of her life and says ”I no longer except the bullshit” A power that is unapologetic and in union with sexuality as Holy ground, in service to the transformation of our world.
Menopausal and post-menopausal women need to be reinstated on the throne of their Autumn Queen so that they can reclaim what has been lost or buried under a bedrock of shame, conditioning and loss of power.
Watch my video to find out how I journeyed through the powerful rite of passage that is menopause, and how it changed me and the work I offer to the world.
When I felt menopause calling through intense physical symptoms, I knew I needed to take a deep retreat. In this conversation, we explore my 13 moon ‘conscious menopause sabbatical’ and how it transformed my health, my relationship to myself, my work in the world, and even my sex life.
“Jewels’ facilitation of the Autumn Queen is earthy and articulate. She is a powerful conduit of feminine wisdom, careful validation and unafraid to call out truth. Her work is the stuff of astute realisation, of becoming and of waking up. She holds space, speaks truth and facilitated me holding myself accountable to my wisest self and for my midlife and beyond.”
Emma
Here are some myth-busting sacred teachings we will be shaking up…
- Menopause is a Holy rite of passage into spiritual awakening and to embracing our true power.
- Menopause is something to look forward to as there is a rich, empowering and liberating experience to be had.
- Sex is not over – in fact it’s going to get better if you want it to, and what you want may change.
- It’s not a given that as a woman you need to feel invisible from here on in.
- You are not obsolete as a woman in or post menopause, quite the opposite.
- You are about to let go of the life-long habit of compulsively pleasing others.
- Your life may change in very significant ways for the better, and this may involve some very big decisions about who you are as a woman, what you want relationally, and how you go about making that a reality.
- Our hormonal balance is determined by our spiritual, emotional and mental wellbeing, not the other way around. Contrary to popular belief, we are not at the mercy of our hormones.
- Our symptoms are a teacher; not a problem to suppress with medication. Dry vagina and low libido is not the problem, it’s simply the body insisting that we no longer compromise in sexual intimacy – a kind of internal quality control system.
- You are not mad, you are becoming more sane that you have ever been.. you are just in the death and rebirth process !
You are welcome just as you are !
What's offered in the workshop
- You will receive an inspiration map of spiritual teachings for being an empowered menopausal and beyond woman.
- We will explore some embodiment movement practices that are aligned with what your body needs now (not historically).
- You will have time in sharing circle together with Jewels bringing her 25+ years of wisdom, holding and guidance and specifically about this subject.
- A lot of laughter – made possible through the safety of the holding and the shared understanding.
- A session for Q&A where we will explore together how we get really good at this.
- Tried and tested methods and practices for helping you to get in touch with what you want to be now and how to create it.
- Tried and tested methods and activities to support you finding ease with saying no to things that you no longer want without losing what you want to keep.
- Learn to be able to listen more deeply to who you are, and how you can bring that to the world as a sexually empowered older woman.
What you will come away with
- A better sense of who you are as a connected autumn queen woman.
- A stronger sense of what you want in the second half of your life and how to go about creating it.
- A shared experience of talking frankly and openly about your experience and to be heard and understood in them rather than joked about or minimised, or told you’re being ridiculous.
- A safe space to hear about other women’s experiences and find comfort in common ground.
- A deeper understanding about the spiritual dimensions of this time.
- Strength, courage, and inspiration to go back to your life and explore more of what you want in intimacy.
- A circle of women who you can continue to build connection with and mutual support.
- More connection to your power within and how to own it for yourself and for your life.
- A stronger ability to say no with ease and express what you do want.
- Feeling generally more excited about the menopause process and your life ahead.
- A ‘no compromise’ policy on sexual encounters that are nothing less than Holy, earth shattering and rooted in the heart !

Meeting your Autumn Queen
The call right now on Earth is strong; to find a way to collaborate and move through the collective threshold we are on, and to do that in a sustainable way, not just for Earth but for ourselves also.
And the Autumn Queen sits at the centre of this, she is needed and plays a key role.
Our wombs are connected to all time and space and there is a red thread of our ancestors that connects us to deep time. Menopause is the call to awaken to our power, shake off the old ways of being and manifest healthy and sustainable ways to create the second half of our lives.
This journey is designed to give you what you need to find the path and to begin to walk it……
