Ecstatic Menopause is a journey into menopause as a shamanic initiation.

Ecstatic Menopause Online is an invitation to demystify and transform this rite of passage from the old stories and experiences. A combination of sharing and experiential to invoke meet and embody the ecstatic crone energies. To create new reference points of juicy, alive, vibrant, embodied wise women who have integrated the crone archetype into their being and the gifts she holds and offers.

This online course is for women in their menopausal years to dive into the archetypal mysteries of the crone and ecstatic menopause. A time to share, explore, descend and deepen in ritual space.


Is it possible that just like the potential of ecstatic menstruation, ecstatic birth and ecstatic death there is also ecstatic menopause?

Is this where instead of needing the earth to nourish and mother us, we move more fully into earth lover and wisdom keeper. An ecstatic lover relationship with the earth and its mysteries. A place of eldership and maturity fully weaned off mothers milk. A lot is known about the maiden and mother archetypes. The more hidden and forbidden are the mature archetypes of the feminine that collectively make up the crone. Archetypes like the Medicine Woman, Wise Womban, Creative Muse, Eccentric Adventurer, Wild Witch, Mystic Lover, Juicy Crone, Bone Woman and Death Hag.

Course curriculum

This is not a typical online course, but rather a time to pause and create a retreat space for this journey that can be done as a solo journey, or as a group journey by gathering a circle of women to take this initiation together for a week, one day a week for seven weeks, or one day a month for seven months.

What women that have taken this initiation say:

Annee Bury

United Kingdom

I immersed myself in the Ecstatic Menopause course. Even though I am 67 and went through the menopause 20 years ago I found it amazing and sense it will be completley life changing for me. Janines integrity, vibrance and commitment to supporting women of this age to blossom, shine and fully live was palpable throughout. The structure of the course was brilliant, taking us in more deeply as it progressed with amazing shamanic vibrational journeys, connecting to the land combined with the opportunity to be part of a smal pod of beautiful women sharing initmately was exceptional. Finally I now fully understand the sacredness, depth, beauty and power of this portal to elder womanhood and will be forever grateful.

This retreat was the greatest gift I could have given myself. It was such a deep privilege to take this journey whilst still in my early menopausal years and able to reframe the initiation as the powerful portal that it is. It’s not the first time I’ve worked with Janine and it certainly won’t be the last. It’s hard to explain the magnitude of what this woman holds and shares. She is maiden, mother, crone, witch, shaman extraodinaire paving a new way, being the change in the world we so need. It was my first time doing a week long training online. I have to admit I was slight dubious of the ability to go as deep as I desired when not in the physical but it exceeded all of my expectations. It was different being online - but it certainly didn’t hinder the depth we were able to go to or the connections we were able to build. Actually it was special being in my home, deepening the connection with my garden and surrounding wild parts on land journeys. The harvest has been huge from this week. So much to integrate.

Thank you Janine for this Divine offering. It has been an honour to share with other women around the world. My ecstatic crone has loved feeling the safety and freedom to dive deep into the mysteries. Feeling blessed.
