What is Embrace the Middle?

Embrace the Middle is about saying yes to midlife!

Embrace the Middle is a paradigm shift, which challenges the negative, diminishing, crisis-laden narrative of midlife to be replaced with a more expansive, uplifting, and empowering perspective.

And, Embrace the Middle offers a method to navigate the challenges, celebrate the joys, and find power in midlife.

Many of us consider midlife to be a bleak period of our lives; a time highlighted by unwelcome changes, loss, and physical decline. Indeed, there are many challenging aspects - menopause, empty nests, bodily changes, and deaths of loved ones are absolutely defining aspects of these decades. Yet, they are only part of the story.

The middle decades are also possibly our most powerful years. We are wiser and more self-aware. We are more competent and more confident. And we are more comfortable in our skin, even with its more mature appearance. With childrearing and careers taking up less energy and attention, and with decades of life ahead of us, midlife is the ideal time to focus on us – to identify and step into our most authentic, fulfilling lives. Yet, too often, we lose connection with these gifts and opportunities because the challenges inherent in these decades can consume our attention.

Embrace the Middle is an approach, wherein we intentionally widen our awareness to remain mindful of the entire midlife tapestry. By doing so, our vision moves from myopic and depressing to expansive and uplifting and we become empowered to move towards our midlife callings.

Embrace the Middle also offers a means to help navigate the multilayered midlife changes and connect with our deepest desires. It is a mindful process, which uses the tools of presence and compassion, to gently welcome the plethora of midlife transitions, and, our earned wisdom to guide us. By saying yes, we connect with our power and experience the fullness of our lives.

Embrace the Middle programs, not surprisingly, are best suited for women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, 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. Join us at a workshop, meditation event, or immersive day, and discover the difference yourself.
