Wisdom Weavers, Claiming Your Sovereignty as an Elder


Are you a woman over 50 who’s wondering What’s Next?

Are you wondering What Else Is There?

Are you Feeling Invisible?

Are you thinking, There’s Gotta Be More

There is!

Here you stand on the threshold of becoming an elder, a wise one, a sage, perhaps a crone. However you decide to label yourself at this time in your life, of one thing we can be certain: you are full of wisdom.

Wisdom Weavers is a 4-month journey-of-the-heart for women over 50 that will support you to . . .

• Identify and challenge your stereotypes, fears, and expectations of aging

• Settle the debris from the past

• Harvest your wisdom

• Determine how you want to make an impact for future generations

Wisdom Weavers will gift you with the freedom and inner power to walk gently away from the past and into your elder years with the understanding of how, in your last decades, you will weave your earned and inherent wisdom.

Between sessions, you can expect to spend 2 – 4 hours of personal work to prepare you for the following session.

You either sign up for the in-person OR online option. You may not go from one or the other over the course of the 4 months.

This program is for women—and those who identify as a woman—who have done enough personal work to know how to self-regulate and get support if the homework, which has the potential to go deep, activates an emotional or spiritual wound.

Content

Sessions will include journaling, SoulCollage®*, guided meditations, time in nature, group discussion, and other creative modalities.

*If you aren’t familiar with SoulCollage®, don’t fret; I can easily teach this simple, powerful process.

In addition to the group sessions, you have one optional 1:1 coaching session with me during the 4 months.

Community

This journey is as much about creating community as it is about your own process. Given that, attendance at each session is expected.

We will have a private Facebook group in which to share freely, both your words and your creations.

About Colleen

As a 63-year-old woman, I have had the privilege to look back on my full life and make peace with my failures and regrets. I have also found forgiveness as a companion. You can watch my TEDx talk here in which I talk about my journey of forgiving the man who caused the amputation of my leg.

The process of writing my memoir, A Leg to Stand On, gave me the opportunity to reflect on the patterns in my life and use those to my advantage in my later years.

I have a 28 year marriage, 2 grown children, a large extended family, and have buried my step-father and both of my parents.

I spent over 20 years working in non-profits supporting marginalized people.

I am a certified Life Coach, a Spiritual Companion, a SoulCollage® Facilitator and Trainer, and a Women’s Retreat Leader.

A TESTAMONIAL

I loved how honest and earnest you were with our group, which immediately set the tone and made me feel comfortable opening up to the possibilities of the group dynamic.

Your voice carried a power of truth and strength that made a big impact on me.

I really felt the safe space you created for me to explore my thoughts -- you gave me room to tap into the wisdom I carry inside. ~ Glenda

I Am Not Old

I am not old…she said

I am rare.

I am the standing ovation

At the end of the play.

I am the retrospective

Of my life as art

I am the hours

Connected like dots

Into good sense

I am the fullness

Of existing.

You think I am waiting to die…

But I am waiting to be found

I am a treasure.

I am a map.

And these wrinkles are

Imprints of my journey

Ask me anything.
