What is Embracing the Middle?

Embracing the Middle is an empowering approach for women in the second half of their life that invokes excitement rather than a mindset of "midlife crisis" or stagnation. It challenges the notion that middle age is something to be dreaded; that its primary features are hot flashes, body changes, empty nests and loss. Instead, it views midlife as an ideal time for growth - a time marked by wisdom, maturity and emotional bandwidth. The events offered under Embrace the Middle are best suited for women in midlife (approximately 40-60) who are open to and curious about examining their lives and identifying areas of strength as well as aspects that are ready to change and evolve.


Program Formats

An intensive all-day workshop

Two-hour long evening gatherings focused on specific topics

A four consecutive week series on either an individual or four different topics

All programs offer teachings, tools, and exploratory experiences conducted in a gentle, supportive manner. The carefully selected topics are particularly resonant for women, and are essential for growth – uncovering and replacing limiting beliefs and behaviors, self-acceptance, and forgiveness.

Embrace-the-Middle

  • Her feet blend with the tree’s roots and trunk - she's grounded, balanced and stable
  • She is looking forward – not backward – and her open arms represents her receptivity to possibilities
  • Her flowing hair symbolizes that she is both enjoying and appreciating the present moment
  • Like the trees’s outstretched branches, she is growing bigger and brighter and higher

As a whole, it represents a woman who is grounded, receptive to possibilities and continuing to grow while concurrently appreciating the present.
