As we stand at the threshold of change, menopause becomes not an ending, but a sacred initiation - one that calls us to step into our fullest wisdom, power, and magick. The Witch’s Crossroads is a retreat designed for those walking this liminal path, as a way to celebrate and embrace this metamorphosis, guided by the torches of Hecate, the goddess of transitions, thresholds, and deep knowing.

Over the course of three days together, we will explore:

• The Astrology of the Menopause Years - Discover how planetary cycles like the Chiron return and Saturn’s influence shape this powerful life transition.
• Magickal Herbs for the Menopause Journey - Learn the plants, potions, and teas that can help support your body and spirit through changes.
• Rituals for Transformation - Engage in spellwork, sigil crafting, and ancestral magic to honour this rite of passage.
• Shadow Work & Menopause - Use deep self-reflection and liminal magick to embrace the wisdom in endings and new beginnings.
• Sacred Storytelling & Community - Share experiences, insights, and laughter in a circle of kindred spirits.
• Practical & Mystical Tools - Explore daily magickal practices, altar work, and protective charms for navigating this transition with grace and strength.
• Ancestral Wisdom - Guided by my grandmothers in spirit and holding space supported by my mother, I will help you tap into the matrilineal wisdom of our ancestors.

Who Should Attend: Open to those preparing for, experiencing or having gone through menopause, who wants to embrace it as a magickal and empowering rite of passage. There's no age limits, but I would suggest it would be most helpful to those of us in or approaching perimenopause, to early menopause. This will be a deep-dive retreat, with lots of ritual and learning, but it will also allow time for rest, connecting to nature and social connections.
