Jane Hardwicke Collings
What if menopause isn’t something to fix but a powerful threshold into a deeper, wiser version of yourself — whether you are approaching, moving through, or living beyond it?
Reclaim menopause as a transformative rite of passage, through healing rituals and practices that unveil wisdom, awaken sovereignty, and reconnect you to a more courageous and purposeful way of living.
The story most women know about menopause is incomplete.
Menopause has been reduced to a set of symptoms when in truth, it is one of the most profound initiations of a woman’s life — a threshold for wisdom, sovereignty, and leadership.
And yet, most women are never given a meaningful framework to navigate this profound rite of passage. Instead, menopause is often treated as a biological inconvenience or a medical condition — something to manage, minimize, or get through as quickly as possible.
What’s lost in that narrative, as Jane Hardwicke Collings teaches, is the deeper intelligence of this transition — and the opportunity it holds for healing, reclamation, and emergence.
Jane, a former registered nurse, midwife, and founder of the School of Shamanic Womancraft, has helped thousands of women understand what’s shaping their journey before, during, and beyond menopause, including cultural, cyclical, and ancestral influences.
Step into this powerful 7-week journey with Jane — an invitation to experience your menopause journey as a transformative and sacred passage within a sacred container. You’ll explore the full spectrum of your experience — the physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of who you are.
Whether you are approaching menopause, moving through it, or living beyond it, this journey empowers you to reconnect with your body’s wisdom, reclaim your feminine power, and deepen your trust in your life experience.
Jane guides you to see menopause not as something happening to you, but as a profound initiation—one that calls you into greater self-awareness, creative expression, and embodied agency.
You’ll discover how earlier life experiences — from your first menstrual cycle to your first consensual sexual experience to births, losses, maternal imprints, and the traumas you’ve carried — weave together into a larger narrative and menopausal experience.
Within this garden of learning is a bounty of insights, strength, and wisdom that can be harvested and shared.
Instead of suppressing symptoms or trying to bypass discomfort, you’ll learn to listen without fear or judgment — to recognize the signals of your body as meaningful communication. And to understand what is asking to be healed, released, reclaimed, or reoriented.
You’ll be guided through shamanic drumming journeys and other rituals and practices that help you access your own inner knowing — creating space to reflect, feel, and connect with the deeper intelligence within you.
You’ll also receive practical self-care support for navigating this powerful life transition that empowers you to cultivate nervous system stability, restore balance in your body, and develop sustainable daily practices that support vitality, resilience, and clarity.
If you feel called to meet your menopausal journey with greater depth, meaning, and awareness, this journey offers sacred space to understand the transformative power of this profound time in your life — what is ready to be healed, reclaimed, and lived more fully.
During this empowering course, you’ll:
- Gain more agency over your menopausal journey
