Common menopausal symptoms are hot flushes, insomn

Common menopausal symptoms are hot flushes, insomnia, mood swings, and, vaginal dryness. On the following slides are Facts, Tips & Tools and Transformational suggestions for working with each of these menopausal symptoms for personal growth. Hot Flushes – Slide 1-3
Insomnia – Slide 4-7
Mood Swings – Slide 8-11
Vaginal Dryness – Slide 12-14 Big Picture – our perimenopause is the end of our summer and the beginning of our autumn life season.
We are mirroring what happens in nature when the seasons change.
Autumn is a beautiful season and it is the harvest season.
Our harvest life season, like autumn, gives us feedback about our life and lifestyle so far,
this we see through the state of our body and nervous system
which in turn effects our experience of menopause. Our experience of menopause is like a read out of the state of our nervous system and adrenal glands.
Or, how much stress and trauma we hold in our body,
And how much stress there is in our lives.
And there is much we can do to alleviate stress and ways to release it from our body that will decrease the intensity of our menopausal experience. I hope this information is useful to you, please share it with anyone who you think will benefit, and please let me know what works for you in the comments below. If you wish to dive deeper into menopause as transformation, please see link in bio “RECORDING NOW AVAILABLE – WEBINAR – The Spiritual Practice of Menopause” for the webinar recording and Autumn Woman Harvest Queen eCourse discount bundle.

Sitting in circle with like-minded women is a rare

Sitting in circle with like-minded women is a rare privilege and a profound honour. It’s a chance to live the healed sisterhood—to feel safe, held, and heard in sacred space, welcoming the transformation that comes with it. A limited number of women have the opportunity to join us in Mexico and Canada for this life-changing experience at Earth Woman Rising, an eight-day program facilitated by the founder of the internationally renowned School of Shamanic Womancraft, Jane Hardwicke Collings. ✨ Attending Earth Woman Rising not only brings transformation but also qualifies you to apply for the Workshop Apprenticeship Program, allowing you to deepen your practice and step into teaching this sacred work. This isn’t just a retreat—it’s an invitation to be part of a global community of women for the rest of your life. *Limited spaces available!* 🇲🇽 Mexico: May 11–18, 2025 🇨🇦 Canada: June 27–July 4, 2025 💬 Comment ‘EWR’ below to receive the link to reserve your space!

Come join us in Mexico for two rounds of transform

Come join us in Mexico for two rounds of transformative one-day workshops, held in two beautiful locations: Tulum and Mexico City. Together, we’ll sit in circle, reconnecting with and reclaiming feminine knowledge, wisdom, and power. The workshops will be held in English, and while there will be supportive Spanish-speaking participants who can assist with translation when needed, a basic understanding of English will be essential. Please note that this assistance is limited and won’t cover every word spoken. And as a special gift, we’re offering the Sagescence translation in Spanish, thanks to the generous support of Ceiba @uteroamor. 📸 @tamarajosephine_photography

At the 36th Annual Australian Homebirth Conference

At the 36th Annual Australian Homebirth Conference, I gave a presentation titled Are Birth Outcomes Random, or Are There Clues? I shared the core work of Shamanic Womancraft, which is the work of a Shamanic Womancraft practitioner: understanding a red thread inheritance, the effects of our birth imprint, childhood trauma, and our rites of passage pattern. When we understand the influence of all these factors on our lives, our birth experiences no longer seem so random. @homebirth_australia

TRANSFORMATION

I see myself as an Agent of the Goddess, a Priestess at the altars of transformation.

I, Jane Hardwicke Collings acknowledge that my work is situated on the lands of the Gundungurra People of the Yuin Nation. I acknowledge that the land was never ceded and we recognise that the Yuin people have cared for this country over thousands and thousands of years. I express my deep respect and gratitude for all Elders past, present, and emerging.

I acknowledge that I also travel to many lands and I pay my respects to the traditional custodians of the lands. We strive to strengthen our collaboration with Indigenous peoples in order to further our understanding and connections to country.
