JOIN US FOR 9 TRANSFORMATIVE WEEKS.
NOV 7th 2025 to JAN 23rd 2026
Just like the snake, before she sheds her old skin,
At the midlife rites, there is a raging irritation that signals a stark initiation.
There is an insistent cracking and peeling and an itching and a deep dark inner roar,
there’s an inner hiss and it’s something like this:
“I can’t live this life, like this,
in this world, like it is,
one minute more.”
AT MIDLIFE WE LIBERATE OURSELVES TO LIBERATE THE WORLD.

The Midlife Rites were born out of necessity.
After I built the Maiden to Mother Passage, I truly loved my time in Archetypal Mother, and holding the energy of the Nurturer, Teacher, Mother to self and other. But that Summer came to an end, and I was rapidly losing my identity (and along with that- friends) and I needed to find the Next Rite of Passage that built the bridge or long winding hall, from Summer to Fall, or Mother to Enchantress, and also, from the First Half of our Lives to the Second. I went in, as we are asked to do, and I have been studying the Midlife Passage - of self and others- for years, to finally bring forth this boon of wisdom I have collected in the dark to light my way, and other’s ways, home.
I created these ever evolving Rites in the dark chrysalis of my five year Midlife Crisis. I created the capsule curriculum I desperately needed to have in my inbox myself. It's woven with Midlife Medicinal Wisdom I clung to like life rafts while the waves crashed. This curriculum is filled with stories and teachings and sign posts I wish I had had when I lost all hope. This is a Mystical Midlife Makeover. This is the Shedding of Skins before the Begin Again. The Midlife Crisis is a Chrysalis & a Rite of Passage to Mark a Life Half Lived. Never before has how we spent our time on this Earth Mattered More, Individually and Collectively.
These Rites were created to assist you to unravel your patriarchal personality and resurrect the primordial you. And, to live the life that your soul and this world are asking of you.
The Midlife Rites is a mystical, spiritual path, that guides you from the end of your Patriarchal Act to the Liberation of the Second Act.
At midlife we midwife our true life. We know what is dying in us, and in the world, too, but what is also birthing through?

SALE RUNS OCTOBER 8, 2025 to OCTOBER 15, 2025.
What’s Included. A Monday - Thursday Capsule Curriculum for Midlife women & femmes at the Crossroads.

A PRIVATE non meta messageboard to commune with other Midlife journeyers. Chat about the teachings, your lives, and the medicine you find and apply.
These Midlife Rites are curated for the femme who feels the whole world in her lap & the weight of it all on her back. Life is flying by in the blind of an eye. On top of it there's ecocide, genocide, fascism, femicide. We *really get it, so this curriculum meets you where you are. You can listen to the teachings in the car, on the trail, or hiding in the closet for a little me time. Chat on your phone to other femmes on the path. Can’t come to the Live Calls? Watch them later, in the bath.
You are not alone if your midlife crisis feels exacerbated by the Polycrisis of Ecocide and Genocide.
The Individual and Identity Crisis of Midlife and the Collective Crisis on Earth both bang the same urgent drum: change, and liberate, or die. Feeling invisible? I see you. To be thrust out of the patriarchal lens can be debilitating, but also very liberating. Lost your purpose? I understand. I spent years feeling like I was drowning and my feet couldn’t touch land. Feeling like burning it all down? I know this well. Your sacred rage is how you get free rom your cage. Can't ignore the urge to disappear into nature and become Local Folklore? I couldn’t hear you more. In fact I wish we could meet in the moss and that you weren’t reading this on a screen but spelled out in shells on the beach. Lost your groove? I did too. I had to surrender to remember the rhythm of life. Forgetting why you're alive? Ah, yes. The Crisis at Midlife is one of I-dentity. The Individual is asking “Who Am I?” “Is this who I really am?” & “Is this all there is? And right now, on this beautiful earth fighting for its life under genocide, ecocide, fascism & femicide, the people of the world are asking, “Who Are We?” “Is this who we really are? Is this all there really is?”
The Individual at Midlife & the current collective under Polycrisis are both in the evolution from the “Me” to “We.” Our individual & collective soul is breaking through ego: through the patriarchal childhood & culture-formed persona, which is Latin for “mask.”
THE MIDLIFE CRISIS during POLYCRISIS is a Mirror of Itself, a symbiotic relationship : both the individual & collective are being pressurized to change, to break their chains, and to liberate.
When the patriarchal mask cracks & your Repressed truth can’t hold back, It’s the End of Your First Act.
Patriarchy is dying on the outside, & it’s dying on the inside too. So how do we help what is dying, to die, & birth what is longing to come through?
After so many years holding the Maiden to Mother Rites, it is my honor to continue this journey with you through the Rites of Passage into our post-patriarchal and most liberated time of our lives, Enchantress, and the Fall. Of Patriarchy. Inside and outside. Because at Midlife, we Midwife our Soul’s Lives. And at Midlife, we liberate ourselves to liberate the world.
