13 Ways to Heal a Rite of Passage
Autumn Woman,
Harvest Queen
After Mother, before Crone, is the time of the Maga
...the Matriarch, the Enchantress, the Harvest Queen…
What is Autumn Woman, Harvest Queen?
Autumn Woman, Harvest Queen is a one-day workshop in which to explore (PERI-)MENOPAUSE as a powerful rite of passage in a woman’s life, often feared and misunderstood.
As our fertility wanes, we move from the Summer season of our lives to the Autumn. This is a time to CLAIM our harvest, EMBODY our wisdom and LEAD our communities!
This workshop will help you:
- Explore the transformative power of Menopause and your earlier rites of passage
- Unpack fears and 'cultural baggage' around changing bodies and aging
- Renegotiate your health, your work-life balance, your relationships, your sexuality, your lifestyle…
- Appreciate your embodied wisdom and embrace the new person you are becoming in this energetic upgrade!

Why menopause?
All our rites of passage are powerful initiatory processes, and menopause is particularly potent.
Through this journey we are called to re-examine, and reflect on our life thus far, so that we can step into this powerful life season of Maga, crafting our soul purpose.
In this workshop we celebrate you, and your journey to the Altar of Transformation that is menopause.
The dance with your hormones, your bodies, and your emotions are given a sacred context which empowers you to navigate this part of your life with clarity and consciousness.
Self-care practices are embedded within the day, as how we care for ourselves now shows up through the rest of our lives.
Join us to reclaim this powerful rite of passage , and to become your own Autumn Woman, Harvest Queen!
"At menarche a young woman enters her power,
throughout her menstruating years she practices her power,
and at menopause she becomes her power.”
– Native American saying
I can't believe that it took me until I was 41 to grow curious of my own cycle...
While I had an idea about what Moonsong was about, I did not expect to be so deeply touched by the openhearted tender acceptance of the beautiful women I sat in circle with.
Through this Moonsong workshop, I have now learned to love my bleeding time as an opportunity to give back to Mother Earth and embrace the desire to retreat and reflect.
Had such a great day connecting and understanding. Thank you for the knowledge and love that you shared.

Safe Space
An Autumn Woman Harvest Queen workshop begins with the creation of a safe container, the sacred circle which holds us all throughout the day. In this co-created space we ground and center. We pass the talking bowl, to listen, to share and to reflect.
We allow our stories, bodies and presence to carry us into full feeling, whether that be grief, joy, pleasure, pain, delight, shame… knowing that all of these experiences are pathways that lead us home to ourselves.
And Menopause is a home-coming, a profound journey to Self.
Treasure Map
Much of the wisdom of menopause has been buried and seems lost. And yet, within your own body, within the wisdom of your menstrual cycle, there is a profound map to guide you through this powerful Rite of Passage.
In this workshop we co-create the wheel of life and chart the changing seasons, energies, feelings and opportunities of each phase.
Then we dive deeper into the particular medicine of the Autumn season and the Maga archetype, her powers and potential, so that you can reframe and celebrate the deep bodied wisdom and power of menopause.
Transformation
Menopause, like any rite of passage, is an ‘altar of transformation,’ a threshold on the lifelong journey of becoming more uniquely and distinctly YOU!
At this altar you meet yourself, those parts that may have been exiled, those parts that show up again and again to teach you what you need to know, and those parts of you calling to be born anew.
What needs to be renegotiated and transformed so that you can become your own Sovereign Self?
Embodied Play
The body holds much wisdom for this menopausal journey. In this part of the workshop you are invited to let your hands create, and your body move to the wisdom within.
Creative play with clay, with dance and drumming are openings to deeper consciousness of your lived experiences, and offer transformational opportunities of release and rebirth.
Self Care & Resources
Self care is essential to the easeful transition within and through menopause. In this workshop, we share stories and insights about many of the important self-care practices available to you. By the end of the day, you’ll have many more tools and possibilities to adapt to your unique situation!
We reflect on ways of claiming the power of Maga, of your sexuality and life force. We are nourished by the voices of each other, pooling our stories of loss and transformation, and sharing the resources and perspectives that help us in this journey.
