Unlocking Menopausal Wisdom
Embracing the Pause in Meno‘pause’
Venus Sequence Retreat 2026
Are you noticing….
The yearning to slow down, soften, and meet yourself honestly?
The weight of having held so much for so long?
Changes in your energy, emotions, and hormones? Your body no longer responding as it once did? A body that clearly tells you what it needs, in no uncertin terms.
You're becoming more sensitive, or perhaps less sensitive? More honest with yourself and others, less willing to people-please? More self-honouring, less self-sacrificing? More inclined to listen to your body, less concerned with how it is perceived? Revering life, your body, the Earth more…. with less interest in the bullshit?
Changes in your relationships, whether living alone, with a partner, raising teenagers, living with young adults, an empty nester, embracing grandchildren, or grieving loss?
A quiet authority beginning to rise, not loud, not forced, but lived? A readiness to meet your shadows and welcome your gifts? To be reborn, to face your fire and dive into your waters?
Whether you are feeling the early shifts of perimenopause, in the thick of the fiery heat of change, or floating in quieter waters, you belong here

❋ The Offering
A closed, intimate circle of women offering presence, trust, and depth.
Twice-monthly Zoom gatherings, accompanying the Venus Sequence through an embodied exploration of your Gene Keys, on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month.
A space to descend beneath the surface… into your relationships, your body, and your lived experience, exploring grief, sensuality, playfulness, personal power, tenderness, and truth.
A return to the body through somatic practices, and softening, a reconnection with its innate wisdom.
The Venus Sequence asks something of all of us.
It invites us to find the pause — even in the most tender, charged, and difficult moments.
The commitment in this space is not about fixing ourselves. It is about recognising that, as women in midlife, we may now be ready to meet what life has not yet allowed us to meet so deeply.
We come willing to do the work.
To become more honest with ourselves and with one another.
To show up with presence.
To take responsibility for our own process.
To honour the space, the group, and ourselves.
Together, we’ll put the pause back in menopause.
We invite you to join us for this six-month journey, meeting twice monthly on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month.
Please see the times and time zones below.

In the first week of June, the Gene Keys Venus Sequence will begin. This first month is a beautiful opportunity to gently arrive into the journey — becoming familiar with your Purpose Sphere, the first sphere of the retreat, by reading the material, tuning into the opening webinars, and attending the live Q&As offered by the Gene Keys team.
Spending time with your Gene Key and its place within the sequence before our group begins can offer a nourishing foundation for the deeper work ahead.
Our companion journey, Unlocking Menopausal Wisdom, begins in the second month, with our first gathering taking place once we have together our intimate circle of women
