Divine timing

Dear Reader, Everything takes longer than we imagine, and the new Alchemy of Menopause website was no exception. On the other hand everything happens when it should. When I began to teach the Alchemy of Menopause nearly nine years ago now, I got some backlash. How dare I talk about menopause as something powerful and positive. Women regularly unsubscribed to the Alchemy of Menopause Instagram when they realized what I was saying. It was frustrating, but I truly believed in menopause as a feminine soul initiation and healing because I experienced it firsthand and witnessed many of the women I was working with healing and connecting with their true power and soul’s journey too. So I stuck with it. Today, the discourse around menopause is changing. More and more women are stepping out of the victim or disease dialogue and into an empowering one. So, it now feels like divine timing that I am sharing and shouting from the treetops that yesterday the Alchemy of Menopause’s own stunning website finally went live: https://menopausealchemy.com/ On this website, you can sign up for the email list for menopausealchemy.com (which is separate from the aromagnosis email list), where I'll share news and reflections related to the alchemy of menopause. On the website, you can also download a pdf of my workbook for the Alchemy of Menopause for free. AND: The doors are now open for the next 9 week Alchemy of Menopause live-online journey starting on September 6th. I’m also offering 9 places for a Menopause Retreat here in New Mexico from September 17 to 23. On the subject of timing, I think we all agree, older women’s wise voices are needed more than ever in the world today. Join me and find yours! Many Blessings Cathy |

Dear Reader, I have a pattern where a particular word preoccupies me, or becomes very important. For the past few months, this word has been 'Immanence.' To me, it is a quality of being, of embodied awareness, of being in the moment, aware of myself, my body in deep relatedness to the environment around it, the plants and trees, the landscape, the circumstances. To me it stands in contrast to transcendence, which implies that blissful awareness is 'somewhere else,' curiously often somewhere...
Dear Reader, As women in midlife, we have choices. We can deny the natural cycles of life and ignore the fact that aging holds great potential, or we can embrace perimenopause and discover the gifts that it holds. The results of all our choices have consequences. In my opinion, staying unconscious and denying that menopause can be a pathway to a vibrant, transformative, developmental stage in our lives is tragic. It means that we miss out on a journey of deepening awareness of ourselves and...
Dear Reader, As you know, we've been interested in the transformational and psychological power of aromas for a long time and have partnered with these aromatic allies in psychedelic-assisted therapy over the years. Psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) is becoming popular. Some people are calling it a renaissance, although that term has been called into question, because who is it a renaissance for? (This is really a topic for another time.) Psychedelic-assisted therapy is really an umbrella...
