If you’re here, you’re either standing squarely in the middle of, or circling somewhere near, the Third Act of your life.
The Third Act: a term used to describe life after mid-life; the autumn of life, retirement, becoming an elder.
I call this program the Third Act because I’m inspired by the triple goddess – Maiden, Mother, Crone - the three goddesses from Greek mythology, Persephone, Demeter, and Hekate. Since ancient times, storytellers have employed the three-act story-arch to move a narrative forward with the third act tying the entire story together in the most gratifying way possible. In our personal narratives you may hear the third act described as the autumn of our lives - but it is definitely not the winter.
Whatever your frame of reference, Autumn Queen, or Crone, it is not the final act or the last act—this is the time we reap the harvest of our decades of experiences, knowing we have so much more life left to live.
The idea for this program emerged from the curiosity I felt – that I continue to feel - about the next phase of my own life and questioning how I want to show up in the world.
Who am I?
What needs to be created, resurrected, forgiven, released, embraced, and expanded on?
What does it mean to be a good elder or a juicy crone?
As the saying goes, we teach what we need to learn. I’m on this journey of discovery with you.
The portals of change often use menopause, empty nest, retirement, elderly parents, and all manner of things related to aging as the introduction to our Third Act. Instead of being celebrated as the “doorways of change” they can become— they are largely disregarded.
There’s a soulfulness, a depth, and a richness (even a wildness) that craves to come forward for women after we’ve stopped bleeding into the world every 28 days. A curiosity if not a hunger to explore the questions who am I NOW? Who will I become? What do I want?
And what am I willing to do to become the woman I want to be?
