The Sanctuary
Online Collective
We gather again September 22nd, 2025 - Early Bird price until September 5th!
What if midlife wasn’t a crisis but a chrysalis, — a sacred pause before your next becoming?
If you’re struggling with the changes in your body, heart, or mind,
know this:
you’re not alone, and you don’t have to walk this path solo.
Calling in
Wisdom Seekers, Midlife Women, and those navigating the sacred terrain of Perimenopause and Menopause…
You’ve reached a powerful threshold.
Even if it doesn’t always feel like it this season of your life holds deep medicine.
Beneath the hot flashes, identity shifts, and quiet grief…is a wellspring of untapped power, creativity, and clarity.
You are not alone.
By 2025, over 1.1 billion women worldwide will be in the peri-to-postmenopausal journey. And yet, so many walk this path in silence navigating career pivots, caring for aging parents, shifting hormones, unraveling old patterns, and holding space for everyone but themselves.
But you deserve space too.
To breathe.
To feel.
To remember who you really are.
To rise.
This is not a breakdown. It’s a breakthrough.
A chance to unhook from old paradigms, reclaim your story, and step into the life your younger self dreamed of aligned, lit up, and deeply connected.
Imagine waking up each day feeling centered, seen, and on purpose. Imagine a life where your wisdom is celebrated and your presence inspires. Imagine healing not alone, but in sacred community.
That life is waiting.
We are waiting for you.
Join a vibrant circle of women who are rewriting what it means to age, to evolve, and to lead. Together, we’ll remember the sacred, ignite our voices, and co-create legacies rooted in love, truth, and liberation.
“Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation; healing is an act of communion.” ~ Bell Hooks
Come as you are. Leave more fully yourself.
A Message from Guzel
“Why We Gather”
Dear Sister,
Back in 2019, I was yearning.
For wisdom.
For community.
For a space where I could be held in the mystery and power of this sacred midlife passage.
But what I found instead?
Programs that promised to “fix” me.
To lose the menopausal weight.
To manage my hormones.
To erase the symptoms.
To “get back” to normal.
WTF?!
This “normal” they spoke of?
It was rooted in youth obsession.
In looking desirable by society’s standards.
In bypassing the soul work of this time entirely.
What about the deeper meaning of this transition?
What about honoring the intelligence of our bodies these wise vessels that carry us through so much?
So I did what many of us are called to do when the world doesn’t offer what we need:
I turned inward.
I listened to the symptoms.
I honored the changes.
I reclaimed my body from patriarchal stories.
And I remembered:
This is not the end. This is the threshold.
A portal into the most potent chapter of our lives.
Not about shrinking, silencing, or smoothing over but about expanding into our full truth.
Midlife is not something to survive.
It’s a sacred invitation to become who we truly are.
To lay down the roles of Maiden and Mother with gratitude…
and rise into the sovereignty of the Wise Woman.
Rooted. Radiant. Unapologetically powerful.
So I’ve created what I once longed for:
A 3-month journey, and a virtual sanctuary, where we gather weekly to share, be witnessed, and reclaim what was never lost…just forgotten.
We weave ritual.
We honor grief.
We celebrate joy.
We remember ourselves to each other.
Because one of the most potent medicines of this time is being seen truly seen by other women.
Now is the time.
The world is aching for women who have come home to themselves.
Who walk with wisdom, depth, and devotion.
Will you join us?
With reverence and love,
Guzel
Your Midlife Midwife
Our Mission: A Reclamation of Power, Beauty, and Belonging
We are here for the women who feel like they’re unraveling.
For the ones who no longer recognize their reflection physically, emotionally, spiritually.
For those navigating hot flashes, heartache, insomnia, identity shifts, and soul questions…all at once.
This is not the end.
This is the initiation.
We are devoted to helping women in midlife find deep, embodied trust in themselves again.
To feel at home in their changing bodies.
To reconnect with their hearts.
To know, without a doubt, that they are not broken they are becoming.
We’re here to reclaim beauty from the narrow lenses of colonial, patriarchal, and consumerist culture.
To say yes to softness, slowness, wildness, and truth.
To redefine femininity on our own terms.
Our path is rooted in curiosity, wonder, joy, and reverent connection.
We honor the ancient rhythms that live in our bones, and the wisdom that comes only through lived experience.
We believe healing happens in community.
That being witnessed in your fullness is medicine.
That midlife is not a crisis, it’s a creative portal into your most powerful self.
Together, we remember.
We root.
We rise.
Join us as we return to the sacred cycles, and reawaken the Wise Woman within.
How do we honor this powerful threshold?
We gather—in circle, in ceremony, in truth.
Because this metamorphosis is layered, sacred… and holy.

May we take this sacred passage to the next half of our lives, together.
