Details of this retreat
Discover the power of menopause to awaken your authority and purpose
🔥Rite of passage ceremony with music by Di Burrup🔥
This is a call to imagine or reimagine your menopause journey. To be seen, honored, and celebrated.
Join perimenopause guide and educator Jeni Enns for an empowering weekend of dignifying menopause. Claim your wise power in the caring witness of others who come together to create connections and experience profound growth.
This is a unique invitation to join an immersive retreat designed to help you confidently step into your wholeness, forged during the great clearing out of midlife. If you've been navigating your peri-/menopausal journey in isolation, then here you'll find a safe haven to experience your transformation in community with others.
Menopause is so much more expansive than the medicalized symptoms and suffering our culture has led us to believe it's all about. It's the threshold to your deepest becoming. A ceremony will be created to help reclaim the wisdom held within your body and spirit. Ceremonies are healing because through the process, something shifts deep inside us. This is an opportunity for integration. The final phase of the ceremony needs community so you're seen and witnessed.
While it's great that menopause is rising in our public awareness, most of the support materials out there are focused on symptom management or keeping us rolling along as usual in our careers and lives. There is a very crucial aspect of menopause that is being completely missed: At its core, it's a deep initiation, a disruptor to our lives, and it's calling us to withdraw from the world, to rest, and to hold space for this profound process. Initiations are meant to be challenging, and for sure when we come out the other side, we're not the same person we were.
What you'll experience
Over this weekend, you'll receive nourishment and support for perimenopause and menopause so you understand what you're experiencing and are able to navigate this time of your life with a solid framework to support you. You'll:

About the retreat
The autumn of early October is an auspicious time for this retreat weekend, as menopause is all about transitioning into the autumn phase of our lives. The retreat itself will be an embodied journey through the menopause passage over the weekend, starting with perimenopause.
The retreat will include:
Teachings.
Experiential exercises including embodied movement to music.
Time for rest and replenishment.
🔥 A hot flash fire ceremony, with music by Di Burrup, claiming your sacred rite of passage, and a crown will be placed on your head signifying your sovereignty and wisdom.
The retreat will be limited to 10 people, to foster connection.
The fire will be outside, weather permitting. If the weather is bad, it will be in the Main House fireplace.
The weekend will include all meals from Friday dinner through Sunday brunch.
About the ceremony
Part of the rite of passage ceremony will be climbing down a short stairway into our storm shelter, Cave of the Mothers. Caves have been places of initiation for thousands of years and this journey represents a descent and then a rebirth as you emerge. It will be softly lit and there will be a comfy chair to sit in for your part of the ceremony. If you feel you may be afraid of small spaces or you can't physically make it down, please let us know so we can create an alternative experience. We want to make sure you are comfortable and feeling safe!
After the retreat, when you are integrating, I will hold our circle in prayer for a month to support you in your continued healing. You are welcome to join in this, as we all heal together.

Testimonials
The retreat was so nourishing and eye-opening. Through it I came to understand that I am not alone in my experiences, that there is a framework for navigating this time of life with greater perspective and skillfulness, and that I do have sacred gifts to offer and a sacred duty of care to uphold. It was grounding, empowering, connecting, and inspiring. I am so grateful for the teaching and for the friends I made while there.
Amy
Every detail of the retreat felt intentional, and Jeni's enthusiasm overflowed throughout this retreat (truly contagious). The Bede center was transformed into a sacred space for us to gather, learn, and share. Jeni's authenticity and transparent disclosure of her own journey invited others to show up authentically/vulnerably (and this vulnerability was present in the very first sharing circle).
Crystal
I learned more about menopause this weekend than I ever had. I appreciated the honest conversations with a fantastic group of understanding women going through the same physical changes.

You can rent a cabin to experience the peaceful setting overnight for your own personal retreat.

Just what I needed
After a year of moving from out of state, supporting a friend through dying and settling into a new community, these days of silence were just what I needed. The Forest is truly a place of peace with powerful energy spots.

Great service
My retreat filled a need in me for silence and a decent degree of solitude in a setting that is (mostly) about that. This is a great service. Much appreciated.
