Midlife Wisdom Circle

Unlock Your Unique Navigation System for Living Life on Your Own Terms in Your 40s and Beyond

Next circle begins September 4

If you’re a woman in your late 40’s or 50’s you’ve likely found yourself asking:

  • What’s my purpose? 

  • What do I really want now?

  • Is there another way to live? 

  • What’s next? 

You’ve spent the first half of your life focused on building a strong persona, and checking all the boxes that would get you approval and validation. Now, as you step into the second half of life, you’re being called to discover both what you want independent of society’s expectations, as well as who you are without the masks—all while riding the emotional rollercoaster of perimenopause.

If you feel confused, disoriented or stuck, welcome. This program is for you. 

You were never meant to navigate your life transitions alone. That’s why we created The Midlife Wisdom Circle — a 3-month journey of discovery where you’ll learn the knowledge, tools, and practices we wished we’d had 7 years ago at the beginning of our midlife transitions.

This intimate, small-group experience blends accessible teachings, practices for self-awareness, and a deeply supportive community to help you reconnect to your inner wisdom and unlock your Midlife Navigation System.

 

“People may call what happens at midlife “a crisis,” but it’s not. It’s an unraveling — a time when you are challenged by the universe to let go of who you think you are supposed to be and to embrace who you are.”

— Brene Brown

Welcome to the Midlife Portal

Instead of a crisis, you’ve reached a doorway—an invitation to walk through a portal and reimagine yourself, crafting a future that is deeply authentic and satisfying.

It’s the push your psyche needs to pivot when old sources of meaning and identity no longer sustain you. It’s the urge to channel new (or long-buried) passions and ideas, and bring them out into the world.

Midlife brings the opportunity to reprioritize, and then wholeheartedly pursue what sparks your interest, joy, and aliveness.

Over the 3-month journey you will:

  • Yellow background with the word 'one' written in white cursive font.

    Understand where you are on the Midlife Transition Map, a tool rooted in modern research and ancient wisdom.

  • A red background with the word "tivo" written in white cursive font.

    Identify the roles and personality patterns that no longer serve you using the power of the Enneagram.  

  • Gray background with the word "thrive" written in white cursive font.

    Find your Midlife North Star—a deep aspiration to help guide your decision-making on your journey.

  • Gray background with the word 'foul' written in large, white, cursive script.

    Experiment with practices to reconnect to your deep wisdom and stay grounded during change. Your wisdom is there to be remembered. 

  • The word "five" written in white cursive font on a blue background.

    Create your unique Midlife Navigation System so you know what to do when you don’t know what to do next.

  • Yellow background with white cursive text reading 'six'

    Connect to a community of like-minded women who can witness and support who you are becoming.  

Testimonials

“The combination of research and knowledge sharing, together with deep body and heart-led inquiry, was the perfect combination for both my body and brain. I'm leaving with a map for where I want ME to be when I come through the other side, and the added bonus of a group of women I know I can lean on when I need a reminder or a gust in my sails.”  

Lindsay


“The Midlife Wisdom Circle has been exactly what I needed during a time in my life when I have been struggling with carrying too much and needing to make space to find myself again. Since participating, I've been able to make big decisions and shift my time and energy towards my own needs and devotions which has helped bring me peace and strengthen my relationships with those I love.”

Hillary

“I am walking through the world differently and more intentionally now. I was definitely lost when I started this eight weeks, and now I'm on a positive path.”

Unlock patterns and find freedom at midlife with the Enneagram

One of the way finders on our journey is the Enneagram—a powerful tool for self-discovery and growth. The Enneagram offers powerful insights on the habitual patterns and challenges that are highlighted for you at midlife, while also offering a powerful map for change.

Before the group begins, you’ll be invited to take an online typing assessment and will receive a 20-page report on your type to begin your exploration.

But there are maps, tools and practices - informed by modern research and ancient wisdom - that can help you create a navigation system to move through the passage with greater courage and confidence.

Meet Your Guides: Nevada and Tonia

Nevada Lane

As a certified coach and the founder of Lane Change Consulting, Nevada helps humans connect with their authentic selves while also accessing the tools they need to translate insight into action. 

Having grown up at the San Francisco Zen Center and built a successful international career in team development and graphic facilitation, her approach is grounded in bridging both being and doing, reflection and momentum. 

Nevada is known for her leadership in visual strategy, expert facilitation, and individual and team coaching, with a particular interest in coaching creative leaders throughout midlife transitions. Her own midlife transition was a tumultuous 3 years of searching for answers to her own deep sense of frustration and resentment. The gifts of that time have been a revitalization of her 25-year-marriage (which she calls Marriage 2.0), a deep connection to her own intuition and spirituality, a peaceful relationship with her body and food, and a community of soul sisters who inspire her daily.

As a dedicated student and practitioner of the Enneagram (she’s a type 3), mother of two fabulous young adults (ages 20 and 18), and a proud woman business owner, Nevada’s mission is to leave people feeling more alive, more connected, and more prepared to make a purposeful difference in the world.

 

Tonia Erin

Tonia is a Soul Path Coach and Ceremonialist who guides individuals through profound life transitions. After a decade at Adobe and co-founding a tech startup, she realized her true calling lay beyond corporate life. Now, she focuses on creating transformative experiences rooted in ceremonial practices and the sacred use of earth medicines as allies for healing and growth.

In partnership with her life companion, Tonia is cultivating a safe, sacred space where individuals can unwind lifelong conditioning and reconnect with their authentic selves. Her own midlife transition taught her the power of embracing uncertainty and leaning into the wisdom of the body, and she now shares this wisdom to help others navigate change with courage and purpose.

As a co-facilitator of the Midlife Wisdom Circle, Tonia brings her rich experience and compassionate presence to help women unlock their inner wisdom, navigate transitions, and reimagine their lives in alignment with their true essence.

 

FAQs

You might be curious about these. 

How does the application process work?

The application includes a few brief questions about your intentions for joining the program and your familiarity with the Enneagram. If your application is accepted, we will reach out with an invoice for payment.

How many spots are there?

The group is limited to 12 people.

Will the sessions be recorded? 

Yes. Sessions will be recorded and shared if you are unable to attend a live session.

Will there be homework? 

We will offer home “play” activities after each session that are designed to support your self-reflection and insight.  Completing the home play is recommended but not required for your participation. 

How much do I need to know about the Enneagram?

You do not need to understand the Enneagram deeply as a model, but being clear on your Enneagram type is required to join the program. If you are not sure of your type or would like to have it confirmed, let us know and we will send you an online assessment (included in the program fee) and receive a 20+ page report about the Enneagram and your type and sub-type in detail.

Perimenopause is definitely related to midlife transitions, right? Will we talk about that at all?

We understand the dramatic impact perimenopause can have on our sense of identity, our bodies and our wellbeing. We are coaches, so we’ll never offer health guidance, but we believe menopause is an initiation and deeply intertwined with the midlife transition. While we don’t focus our content on menopause, we welcome conversations around the meaning and impact of this important change in your life.

What is the cancellation policy? 

Refunds will be issued up to 7 days prior to the beginning of the program. No refunds will be issued after that.
