A Ceremonial Journey Through Menopause
The Seven Gates of Menopause is a recorded online ceremonial process for women in perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause, offering a conscious way to work with the transformational power of this rite of passage.
Includes:
✓ A guided journey through the Seven Gates
✓ Teachings on menopause as a transformational rite of passage
✓ A drum journey into the Underworld / Void
✓ Reflection and letting-go practices for each Gate
✓ A return journey focused on reclaiming, integrating and moving forward as the Wise Woman
The Journey Through the Seven Gates
Session One — The Descent Through the Seven Gates
You will descend through the Seven Gates, meeting a different aspect of yourself at each one and reflecting on what is ready to change or be released. You will create seven letting-go statements, then bring them together to recognise the deeper patterns of what menopause is asking of you.
Session Two — The Underworld / The Void
Jane will teach about the wisdom of the void and guide you on a drum journey into the space between who you have been and who you are becoming. Here, you will listen to your self and give space for inner knowing to arise.
Session Three — The Ascent / The Return
You will return through the Seven Gates, exploring what you are reclaiming and how you want to live each aspect of your life now. The journey comes together into a clear way forward: what you are leaving behind, what you are reclaiming and the path forward that honours the Wise Woman you are becoming.
Descent—letting go.
Underworld/Void—listening and receiving.
Ascent—reclaiming and integrating.
Let all you have lived become wisdom for how you choose to live now.
Honour the Wise Woman you are becoming.

FAQs
I went through menopause a long time ago. Is this process still relevant for me?
Yes. You can reconnect with this rite of passage at any stage of life. The ceremony offers an opportunity to reflect on the transformation you experienced, integrate what it taught you and consciously claim the Wise Woman you have become.
I'm not sure whether I have started perimenopause. Is this still relevant for me?
Yes. The ceremony will give you a framework for understanding menopause as a transformational rite of passage and help you prepare consciously for the changes ahead.
Do I need previous experience with ceremony or drum journeying?
No previous experience is needed. Jane will guide you through each stage of the process.
What will I need for the ceremony?
You will receive a workbook and preparation guidance before the event. You will also need a journal and pen, a candle and a few meaningful objects to create a simple altar. Headphones are optional but may help during the drum journey. We recommend preparing food beforehand so you can remain connected to the process during the breaks.
What if I am not a mother, partner or connected to every role represented by the Seven Gates?
You do not need to occupy every role literally. Each Gate represents an aspect of self and an area of human experience that you can explore in a way that is relevant to your own life.
Does this ceremony provide medical advice or menopause treatment?
The Seven Gates explores the personal, psychological and spiritual dimensions of menopause. It does not provide medical advice or replace medical or mental-health care.
