An online community
of wild & wise women
Menopause is a powerful initiation in every woman’s life.
Does it feel like someone pulled the rug out from under you ... just when you were juggling an extra ball in the air?!
Midlife is a time of responsibilities and change, and it can seem impossible to find the 'you' you'd come to trust and rely on. What's going on?
"Ah, it's 'just' menopause. It's normal," they say! Right, and now what?
This transition of around 7 years can feel destabilising, overwhelming, exhausting, and even lonely. You may have your concerns and experiences dismissed or trivialised. You may be pushing through or be trying all sorts of solutions for the 'problem' and list of 'symptoms'.
Perhaps you're here because you know there's more to it,
and you want to rock your midlife and menopause!!
There's a lot of media attention and new information, support and highly polarised opinions out now. Let's be clear ....
The deeper meaning, the right path and the gifts of Your menopause are not written in any book, list of symptoms or biochemical changes. They are for you to discover, integrate and celebrate.
Menopause calls each one of us on our own unique and sacred journey, as easy-peasy or as wildly messy as that may be, toward becoming a new version of ourselves for our Second Spring. That journey matters - emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. You matter!
This community offers a powerful and friendly container to give yourself and your midlife rite of passage the quality time, care and attention you long for (and need!).
You are actively weaving the wisdom of your life into something new and beautiful.
Do you have the Circle of women you need to encourage and celebrate you?
Women supporting Women
We women thrive when we are truly seen, heard, felt, and acknowledged.
Feminine initiations are real and deeply challenging. They call us into connection with our deepest selves AND with other women.
But we don't want more noise, endless chit-chat or advice, pressure, judgement or shaming. We don't need more rules to fit in.
The Menopause Wisdom Circles are about women supporting women, each on her own path, listening to understand, validating experiences, acknowledging efforts, embodying and celebrating inner wisdom, and having a laugh on the way.
In these Circles we value ...
Sharing.
Informing ourselves and sharing experiences to enable conscious choices.
Deep Listening.
Cultivating safety and space for compassionate self-inquiry, fears, emotions, and inner wisdom.
Respect.
Seeing every woman as a Queen in her own right. Her journey and her choices are respected.
Kindness.
Hearts open and healing comes through kindness, gentleness, and love.
Rest.
Slowing down to regulate our nervous systems and creating soft space to simply Be.
Pleasure.
Prioritising this essential portal to feminine wisdom and support for body, mind and soul.

Who am I?
Georgina Laiya Peard
I'm passionate about helping people access and relax into a deep embodied state of worthiness and belonging, and to recognise their natural genius - the genius they vibrate with no effort. Born in Ireland, I have roots in Celtic spirituality and cyclical wisdom, and a palette of experience in Bodywork, Yoga, Shamanism, Tantra, and Circling, from along the way. After 15 years in international nature conservation, I've spent 15 years now mainly in women's group facilitation, offering transformational programmes, bodywork and therapy. I'm a certified yoga teacher, massage therapist, Heart iQ circle coach and shamanic practitioner. I am a natural spaceholder for sensitive listening, especially emotional-energetic and group dynamics that I want to make available to support others. In 2017 I founded a women’s community in Switzerland to support women to gather and thrive, and to live our spirituality in a more connected, day to day way.
Why I'm doing this?
At 48, I feel the changes touching all areas of my life, my body and my psyche. I'm deeply immersed in my own peri-menopause journey.
I sense the power and potential of this initiation in my life and the lives of women and men around me. I feel how it can shake us to our core and knock us to our knees, as well as bring us to wholeness and essential embodied wisdom.
I see how easy it is to withdraw inside our own struggles, to lose confidence and self-esteem, and that saddens me.
I believe the voices of women who have integrated feminine wisdom are essential for our future. I’m longing for all women to feel honoured, supported and empowered in this journey.
I ran the first Menopause Wisdom Circles as a 4 month group programme in 2020. It was a deeply touching and worthwhile experience.
I'm not here just to teach you. I am training and informing myself, yes, and have things to share. Yet here, I hold the quality of space holder, enabler, catalyst, for you to be your own guide, and find your inner teacher, healer and lover. My role is to create the conditions for a welcome, safe, and intimate space to explore vulnerably and powerfully together. I am also a sister on this journey.
