The Sanctuary
Online Collective
We gather again February 18th, 2026
Early Bird price until Feb 8th!
For the woman who feels the shift in her bones…
For the one who knows midlife is not a decline, but portal to her becoming
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 have reached a threshold unlike any other.
Even if it doesn’t always feel like it, this season of your life holds deep medicine.
Medicine meant for you, and only for you.
Lovely…come closer,
If you’re reading these words, something inside you already knows.
You’ve likely felt it:
that quiet ache, that internal restlessness,
that subtle sense that your life is asking more of you.
Maybe your body is whispering (or shouting) through symptoms:
hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety waves, brain fog, weight fluctuations, a sudden intolerance for pretending, pleasing, or performing.
Maybe you’re waking in the night with a knowing:
“Something has to change.”
Maybe you feel like you’re crawling out of your own skin
not because you’re broken,
but because you’re molting.
You are shedding an old identity,
old expectations,
old conditioning that never belonged to you.
This is not a crisis.
This is a metamorphosis.
And sister… you are not meant to go through it alone.
Our ancestor grandmothers had one another. We get to find our tribe now.
By 2025, over 1.1 billion women worldwide will be moving through peri-to-post menopause.
Yet most do so quietly - holding careers, families, partnerships, heartbreak, aging parents, shifting hormones, and centuries of conditioning…
while being told to “keep it together.”
But you deserve space too.
Space to breathe.
To feel.
To remember who you really are.
To rise.
This is not a breakdown.
It’s a breakthrough.
A rupture that becomes revelation.
A chance to unhook from old paradigms, reclaim your story, and step into the life your younger self dreamed of aligned, lit up, rooted, and wise.
Imagine waking up each day feeling centered, seen, and in devotion to yourself.
Imagine a life where your wisdom is celebrated, your intuition honored, your voice steady, your presence magnetic.
Imagine healing, not in isolation , but held in sacred community.
That life is waiting.
We are waiting for you.
Come join a vibrant circle of women rewriting what it means to age, evolve, and lead.
Together, we’ll remember the sacred, ignite our voices, and co-create legacies rooted in love, truth, beauty, 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 promising to “fix” me.
Lose the menopausal weight.
Balance the hormones.
Erase the symptoms.
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.
Never truly acknowledging the grief, or power, that at the heart of what this initiation is.
Where was the deeper meaning?
Where was the reverence for the intelligence of our symptoms?
Where was the understanding that these changes are not malfunctions but they are messages?
So I did what many of us do when nothing outside meets our longing:
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 is 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 created what I once longed for:
A 12-week journey.
A virtual sanctuary.
A place where we gather weekly to be witnessed, held, and remembered.
Where we weave ritual.
Honor grief.
Celebrate joy.
And reconnect with the ancient wisdom carried inside our bodies.
Because one of the most potent medicines of this time
is being truly seen by other women.
Now is the time.
The world is aching for women who have come home to themselves.
Women who walk with depth, devotion, and inner authority.
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, heartbreak, insomnia, identity death, and ecstatic rebirth… sometimes all in the same week.
This is not the end.
This is the initiation.
We help women in midlife rebuild an unshakeable trust in themselves.
To feel at home in their changing bodies.
To reconnect with their hearts.
To re-root into their truth.
To know, without a doubt, that they are not broken
they are becoming.
We are here to reclaim beauty from narrow, colonial, patriarchal, consumerist culture.
To say yes to softness, slowness, wildness, sensuality, and truth.
To redefine womanhood on our own terms.
Our path is rooted in curiosity, wonder, joy, and reverent connection.
We honor the ancient rhythms in our bones
and the wisdom that only lived experience can offer.
We believe:
Healing happens in community.
Being witnessed is medicine.
Midlife is not a crisis
it’s a creative portal into your most powerful self.
Together, we remember.
Together, we root.
Together, 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, holy, sacred and deeply feminine.
Welcome to
The Sanctuary
May we take this sacred passage to the next half of our lives, together.

This is for you if…
You feel like your body is changing faster than your life can catch up.
You’re exhausted by perfectionism and old identity roles.
You’re grieving dreams that didn’t unfold; marriage, children, certain timelines, and want to alchemize that grief into purpose.
You’ve felt lost, foggy, emotional, or strangely restless.
You want a space where everything is welcome - rage, confusion, tears, laughter, desire.
You’re craving sisterhood, reflection, and soulful companionship.
You know something is calling you forward, even if you can’t name it.
This is not just a program.
It’s a rite of passage.
A new map for the midlife woman.
A space to be witnessed in your becoming.
A place to shed, soften, roar, remember, and rise.
If you feel the pull - trust that.
It is your inner Wise Woman calling you home.

If something in you is saying ‘this is for me,’ it already is.
Your yes is alchemy. It changes everything.
You are not investing in a program. You are investing in the woman you are becoming.
Life is not what it’s supposed to be. It’s what it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.
–Virginia Satir
