During the past 20 years working with thousands of women, unraveling the PMS through menopause mysteries, it became surprisingly clear to me that this is a powerful and exciting time in our lives. Not the over-the-hill, crazy, dried up, misogynistic party line.

Women in many parts of the non-western world spend their lives looking forward to their freedom, their wisdom and the increased respect that comes naturally with the territory. Imagine how differently you and your body would feel if you had grown up with nourishing, supportive and empowering stories about womanhood! Some have called this powerful time "the Second Spring". In this day and age, you are given the opportunity to birth yourself with the wisdom of your years, instead of remaining ruled by decisions and habits from childhood. You can be your own good, nourishing, loving mother, and each others' midwives.

Once we were considered crazy for speaking our minds at PMS through midlife. Now the planet, our country, our children are ripe for our wisdom and our voices. For millennia, women have gathered in circles to weave the fabric of a sacred space for the birth of themselves and each other into their wise womanhood. Now it is (y)our turn.

Dr. Hanley welcomes you to join her in a Women's Sacred Circle. Together, you will explore, educate, and empower the "goddess" that is in all of us. You will learn of the healthier ways to navigate this sometimes rocky passage, as well as the clear causes of the hormonal imbalances that are rampant. Among the myths, you will learn to dismiss the medicalization of menopause as if it were a disease.

Together, you will embrace and embody this deep, powerful, and sometimes magical gateway to the rest of your life.

To arrange or host a Women's Sacred Circle in your home or hometown, please contact  Dr. Jesse Hanley at her office.
