A SMALL CIRCLE FOR WOMEN NAVIGATING THE THRESHOLD OF MIDLIFE
The Midlife Wisdom Circle
OCTOBER 8TH - DECEMBER 10, 2026
If you’re in your 40s or 50s, you may feel that something inside you is shifting.
The life you’ve built may still look successful from the outside — career, family, responsibilities you care deeply about. But the questions are changing.
What do I want for this next chapter of life? What matters most now? Who am I becoming?
Midlife isn’t a crisis. It’s a threshold.
A moment when the wisdom you’ve gathered begins asking to reshape how you live — and when a deeper relationship with yourself, your life, and your aliveness begins to emerge.
The Midlife Wisdom Circle is a small, guided group for thoughtful women who want space, conversation, and practical tools to navigate this transition with clarity and self-trust.
THE NEXT CIRCLE BEGINS OCTOBER 8th, 2026
The Messy Middle of Midlife
Many women arrive at midlife and realize they are standing between chapters.
The identities, roles, and strategies that once shaped your life may no longer fit in quite the same way. At the same time, what comes next may not yet be clear.
This in-between territory is known as liminality — the space between what has been and what is emerging.
It can feel uncertain. Disorienting. Even a little wild.
But it is also a powerful period of growth.
When we allow ourselves to stay present in this middle space — instead of rushing to solve it — new insight, wisdom, and vitality begin to surface.
The Midlife Wisdom Circle offers guidance and companionship as you move through this passage.
This isn’t a crisis, it’s a sacred initiation.
A Map for the Midlife Journey
Midlife can feel chaotic, but it isn’t random.
There are recognizable patterns and phases that many women move through during this stage of life.
Inside the circle we explore a map of the midlife journey, helping you understand:
where you may be in the transition
what is dissolving or shifting
what new capacities are emerging
When you can see the terrain more clearly, it becomes easier to move through this passage with curiosity instead of urgency.
WHAT WE EXPLORE TOGETHER
This three-month experience blends thoughtful teaching, reflective practices, and meaningful conversation.
Together we explore:
The Midlife Transition Map
Understanding the psychological and emotional terrain of midlife.
Liminality
Learning how to stay present in the “messy middle” without rushing prematurely toward answers.
The Enneagram
Using the Enneagram to illuminate the patterns and identity structures that often shift during midlife.
The Inner Compass
Strengthening the inner guidance that helps you discern what is true and what is calling for your attention now.
Your Midlife Navigation System
Developing a personal framework you can rely on when life no longer follows familiar scripts.
Women Often Join the Circle Because They Want:
Clarity about what’s next in their work life
Space to reflect on what this season of life is asking of them
Connection to what lights them up now
Connection and community with women in the same stage of life
A deeper understanding of themselves through the Enneagram
Support and encouragement to discover who they are now
What Participants Say“Before the Circle I felt stuck and not sure if I was in the right career after 20 years as a therapist. Now I feel reinvigorated about my career - which totally surprised me - and I feel like I can totally be myself.”

We understand the dramatic impact perimenopause can have on our sense of identity, our bodies and our wellbeing. We are coaches, so we’ll never offer health guidance, but we believe menopause is an initiation and deeply intertwined with the midlife transition. While we don’t focus our content on menopause, we welcome conversations around the meaning and impact of this important change in your life.

Refunds will be issued up to 7 days prior to the beginning of the program. No refunds will be issued after that.
What Participants Say“The Midlife Wisdom Circle has been exactly what I needed during a time in my life when I have been struggling with carrying too much and needing to make space to find myself again. Since participating, I've been able to make big decisions and shift my time and energy towards my own needs and devotions which has helped bring me peace and strengthen my relationships with those I love.”
