A deeper understanding, a chance to sit in circle with women, a safe place to explore this transitional time. Cathy shares beautiful tools to aid a magical passage through menopause, allowing your personal true beautiful
authenticity to come up and meet you. If you are a woman, this course is for you.” –anon

Profound Midwifery

“What a stunning collection of reflections, teachings, wisdom, rituals, and guidance through this stage of woman’s journey. Cathy is practicing profound midwifery to women interested in birthing their own wisdom, their own self, in this stage of life.” –Laren 

A Nuturing Sharing Experience

“I took part in the Alchemy of Menopause course at a Women’s Centre earlier in the year. The course is well structured around Jungian theory using essential oils for the inner work along with exercises to encourage you to go inwards and dig deeper. Cathy is an amazing tutor who has a deep knowledge of Jungian theory and herbalism. She has a wonderful ability to pull the group together and create a nurturing sharing space. For me the course allowed me to work deeper on areas that needed releasing and created space for me to carry on my journey through menopause with a deeper understanding of my own body. I would recommend the course to anyone who is perimenopausal, menopausal or works in women’s health.” –anon

Uncover Hidden Strengths

“Guided by Cathy Skipper’s gentle wisdom, imagery and poetry and the transformative aromas of specially chosen plant allies I felt reconnected to the truth and power of myself as a women entering my life through menopause and beyond. The ancient art of alchemy finds it’s true meaning in our personal journey – through passing the years of potential motherhood to uncovering our hidden strengths and wisdom and finally finding union within ourselves. We are shown the way through rituals of discovery and honoring, nurtured by beautiful aromas personally chosen by Cathy’s conscious travels along her own path.” – Karen

A Powerful Experience

“Cathy’s Alchemy of Menopause class, was a powerful experience for me both personally and professionally. The experience of being in the class provided me with the opportunity to understand what exactly the alchemical process is. The class showed me how becoming our authentic healed self is an alchemical process. Working through the workbook and the exercises gave me concrete practical exercises to work through the alchemical stages. I started my own women’s circle which we call “Soul Sisters Rising”. This woman’s group has melded into an incredible group of powerful women who are indeed now Soul Sisters. The absolutely most powerful experiences since taking that class is I’m now in the process of divorce, I have purchased my own house, and I went back to Africa to meet the first love of my life from 37 years ago!! It’s just been so profound!” –Sally

Life-Changing

“It’s hard to describe Cathy Skipper’s live Alchemy of Menopause 2-day class without using words like “transformational” and “life-changing. This class gave me new perspective, connected me to my inner wisdom and power, and allowed me to work with other women (exclusively) in various stages in their lives, and to learn from and share their wisdom and experiences. This class reframes society’s depressing definition of Menopause into a positive, healthy acceptance and understanding of the shift in life and the celebration of all the good that can come of it. The use of essential oils and other tools takes the work to next level and make it unlike anything else out there designed for women trying to understand and thrive in this stage in their lives. Cathy created a safe and nurturing circle in which we could share our own experiences, and using aromas for support, she taught us some deeply meaningful ways to begin gleaning the wisdom we want to carry with us into our Wise Elder years. This was one of the most empowering and encouraging few days I have ever experienced and I hold it dear in my heart.” –anon

Course Summary

For many women, menopause is something to be dreaded. It is seen as a problem to be cured.

In truth, menopause is the powerful transition to becoming a wise crone.

To make the most of this journey of birthing ourselves into our true, powerful authentic selves and midwifing others, women need information, insights and tools, which this workshop offers.

More than anything right now, our global and local communities need wise, mature women leaders and healers.

With the right  tools, a woman can transform her experiences into wisdom, instead of mourning what she is leaving behind. If a woman is able to live the journey to menopause as a passage to her true maturity, she can embrace the wise woman she is becoming.

Aroma and the Alchemy of Menopause workshop will give women the tools to turn inwards and transform the way they view this phase of life. Using Jungian concepts and aromatics, this workshop leads women through the alchemical stages of menopause.

Through creative exercises, it helps women see their needs and experiences during peri-menopause in a new light that makes this an empowering and transforming journey that will help you to:

 

  • Set intentions; define your motives and desires.
  • Define and identify the experiences that are going to be transformed into your wisdom.
  • Unveil parts of your Shadow, revealing your hidden strengths and talents.
  • Work with your inner masculine and explore this sacred relationship in depth. When the preparative work has been done, the seven alchemical stages will guide you deeply and profoundly into your true authenticity and power, revealing the messages and experiences that lie behind hot flashes, night sweats, emotions and sexuality, transforming menopause into an exciting, empowering, transformative rite of passage.

 Class Teacher Cathy Skipper

“Menopause marks a passage from apprenticeship to mastery. The crone that has embraced the passage of menopause has mastered what it is to be fully woman. Her perspective has changed from receiving life’s experiences to becoming life’s experiences. She has given birth to her own maturity and to herself, finally…”
