There was far more to explore than we could hold in one conversation.
The Midlife Mystery Sessions is where we can go deeper.
Enjoy the free replay of the Mystery Circle, and if it resonates and feels alive for you, I hope you'll join us as we dive even deeper.
Midlife Mystery: Welcome to Autumn
This is a four-part live series held every other week over the course of two months.
The space between sessions is intentional.
I want us to have time to live with what comes up. To notice what is changing. To listen to our bodies. To pay attention to what we want, what we are grieving, and what we may be ready to release.
This is not a course about how to do midlife "correctly."
I will not be offering a universal protocol or pretending that every woman’s body, relationship, or life is asking for the same thing.
I am not interested in giving you another list of things to fix.
This is a space where we can be honest about what is happening.
Where we can bring the profound and the completely ordinary.
Where we can talk about estrogen and testosterone, sex and strength, supplements and friendships, changing bodies and changing values.
Where we can explore the possibility that this phase has its own intelligence.
And where we can begin to hear our own answers more clearly.
What we will explore
Over the course of four gatherings, we will explore midlife as its own distinct season.
A threshold between Mother and Crone.
A time when the identities we have lived inside may begin to loosen, our bodies begin to change, and our tolerance for overriding ourselves starts to disappear.
We will talk about hormones, sleep, energy, strength, weight, desire, sex, pleasure, anger, protein.
We will explore what may be happening physiologically, alongside the deeper experience of living inside a body that no longer responds in the ways it once did.
We will talk about the conservation of Yin, our changing relationship with estrogen and testosterone, and the movement from cycling with the moon toward cycling with the sun. Hot flashes and night sweats and suddenly stinky armpits.
We will explore the growing clarity many women experience in midlife. And often, the confusion that arrives right alongside that clarity.
We will touch on the astrology of midlife (it's a doozy).
We will make room for anger, boundaries, desire, pleasure, discernment, grief, identity, and the relationships or roles that may no longer fit.
We will explore the Empress phase and the emergence of Yang Feminine energy: the fierce Feminine that arises from our embodied connection to Yin.
This is not about forcing ourselves to love every change or rushing to define who we are becoming.
It is about becoming more intimate with the woman who is already here.
What each gathering will include
Each two-hour live gathering will include:
🍂 Teaching and conversation
🍂 Guided reflection and Embodied practices
🍂 Time for questions and conversation
🍂 Practices or questions to carry into the two weeks between sessions
🍂 A recording for those who cannot attend live or want to revisit the conversation
There will also be a community portal for sharing, reflection, questions and to continue the conversation.
This series may be for you if…
You feel that you are changing, even if you cannot fully explain how.
Your body no longer feels or responds the way it once did.
Your tolerance for certain relationships, responsibilities, or patterns has dropped.
You are reconsidering what you want from partnership, friendship, sexuality, work, creativity, motherhood, or the rest of your life.
You feel grief about what is ending.
You also sense that something is returning.
You want to understand the physical changes of midlife without reducing this phase to a collection of symptoms.
You want to be part of a real conversation with other women living inside these questions.

*I'm keeping the series affordable because I truly believe that the more midlife women who can connect with their Yang Feminine can change the world, and I want to be a part of the community!
For now, this is a one-time four-part live offering. While I will be offering the series again on replay, as an available course, this may be the only time this series is offered live. I hope you'll join because I really want you there! The more midlife women in my life, the better. Gen-X and Elder millenial women, I'm looking at you!
I’m Ariele Myers, L.Ac., founder of Wisdom of the Womb.
For more than twenty years, I have worked with women around fertility, menstrual health, pregnancy, hormones, embodiment, and the wisdom of the body.
For much of my career, I taught women how to reconnect with Yin: mystery, receptivity, surrender, gestation, and the deep intelligence of the womb.
As I entered midlife myself, I began to feel another energy emerging.
More fire. More direction. More clarity about what I wanted and what I would no longer tolerate.
It felt like Yang energy, not as an aspect of my inner masculine, but as an essential part of my Feminine power.
Working with it felt a lot like taking my fuck back.
I believe midlife is when many women begin to take our fuck back.
Our voice. Our desire. Our authority. Deep discernment about where we spend our energy.
I am massively excited about that.
I'm 47 now, and feel I have been inside this portal for about 5 years. It continues to "do me." Holy moly. This time is not about arrival somewhere. It's about the process of unraveling, in the best way possible. And about what (and who) emerges from the unraveling.
But this series is not about me...
When you register, you'll receive an email with the chance to share with me where you are in your journey. I'd love to know your questions, your curiosities, your confusions, your desires. I like to think of this as a series we can co-create.

Each gathering will be recorded. You can watch the replay, although I encourage you to join live whenever possible because the conversation and shared space are an important part of the experience.
