The FEMININE MIDLIFE RITES OF Mother to Enchantress

THE MOTHER TO ENCHANTRESS is a mystical, dark and transformative rite of passage which shows us the door to a more enchanted, authentic, alive, embodied, and conscious present life.

This is a cardinal midlife threshold, We are no longer young but we are not yet old. There is much more mystery and magic to unfold.

Mother to Enchantress includes the ceremonial marking of a life Half Lived- when we pause inside the naturally formed Chrysalis at Midjourney to honor, to grieve, to release the old skin, and eventually- to Begin Again.

At Midlife, we Midwife our True Life.
