MORE ABOUT DONNA AND ANNE:
From Anne:I am a mother, grandmother, educator, yoga teacher, and lifelong student of what it means to live with greater presence and integrity. After many years leading change in higher education and earning a PhD that taught me to ask good questions, I find myself increasingly drawn to a different kind of wisdom—the wisdom that comes through the body, through community, through nature, and through growing older.
As I enter my elder years, I am curious about what it means to become a wise woman in today’s world. I am committed to practices that nurture healing and connection, including Yoga Nidra, contemplative practice, Indigenous ways of knowing, and gathering in community. I also continue the lifelong work of examining my own place within systems of privilege and oppression, seeking ways to contribute to a more just, compassionate, and earth-honoring future.
I believe that elderhood is not something we arrive at alone. It is something we grow into together. My hope is to help create spaces where women can share stories, practice deep listening, honor grief and joy, laugh often, and discover the gifts that this season of life has to offer.
From Donna: I have been bringing women together for 30 years in my now closed psychotherapy & coaching practice and nature-based meditation retreats. My career has been focused on women and families in major life transitions. In my 40’s after I had my son and found myself alone as a single mom, I realized how much we need more ways to support, connect, and most importantly, learn from each other as women in this country. I then devoted my practice to serve women which also helped me grow alongside my clients. Learning to lean on each other, to be honest and open with each other, to share our deep feelings and truth with each other are the human interactions that open us up and grow us as human beings. When we move through our life’s transitions, we have the perfect opportunity to tell our stories to each other and listen to each other in order to heal and find our own authentic selves. I have spent my life developing opportunities for women to do this important work together.
Now, as I turn 74, I am in another major life transition. This is my fifth year of letting go of my formal career, and allowing myself to explore this place of not knowing what’s next. I don’t want to call it “retirement” because that is not a concept that works for me. I am just learning now how to live my life more fully with more presence, patience and yin energy. I am a yoga teacher (yin as well as yong) and meditation teacher, but am now bringing these skills into a deeper use for my aging body for self-nurturance. My greatest desire is to listen to what is bubbling up inside–to deeply connect with the divine feminine in me and explore with other women this powerful stage of life. I am hoping other women in this stage of life have this same desire and can join with Anne and I in exploring together who we are now. By looking at role models of older women in stories and myths, archetypal and historical, current Indigenous Elders and within us, we can discover and create our feminine narrative as older women together. Hopefully, this can guide us in joining the emergent feminine path moving now that will make life better for our loved ones, our grandchildren, our Earth.
I’ll leave you this quote from Ursula LaGuin:
“We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, all maps change. There are new mountains.”
