In my workshops, we break free and soar together.
Through the years, I’ve become acutely aware of what I call “The Age Cage.” All those imprisoning stories and stereotypes that make us invisible, irrelevant, too old, too late, too wrinkled, too blah-blah-blah.
I created “Breaking Out of the Age Cage Workshops” to help women change those old stories about aging that are in our culture. And in our minds.
It’s for women who want to own their years. But not be limited by them. (Participants have ranged from 40 to 80 years old.)
In it, I share my own transformative stories, plus tools and processes to help women break free from the cultural stereotypes, patriarchal lies and “inner ageism” that can clip our wings.
We sit in sacred circle. Speak and write from our hearts. Partake in powerful rituals and creative visualizations. And share old stories and create new ones for moving forward.
In other words, we connect, grow and support each other in becoming cageless. (Lunch, laughter and tears included.)
I’ve helped women “break out of their age cage” at retreat centers across the country, in women’s groups, on-line and in my HeArt Studio and garden in magical Ojai, California.
(And I’d be happy to customize the program for your venue and group, too. Birthday Workshop, anyone?)
These comments make my heart soar:
“Recently, I hosted 20 amazing women, ages 27-78, at Moonacre Ranch outside of Austin, for Wendi’s full day workshop. It was nothing short of life-changing. Her creative storytelling, visualizations, rituals and discussions helped us get unstuck and break out of our limited thinking. We left feeling hopeful, encouraged and empowered by our age, not limited. Hire her as soon as you can!”
Liz Bradford, Owner of Moonacre Ranch Retreat Center
“What an inspiring day of community, self-discovery, and celebration! Wendi masterfully created the space for us to let go of old stories and embrace our most empowered self. I highly recommend this for any woman of ‘a certain age,’ who is interested in breaking free from the cage of limiting beliefs.”
Leslie Strauss, Educator
“Wendi leads with grounded confidence. Her knowing, her holding space, creates magic for anyone in the room — a chance to be open and receive what she has to teach. Even in my 40s, I’m grappling with the questions for which she has already sought divine answers. I am so grateful to have experienced her ‘dragonflying’ lessons!”
Anne Hallock, Startup Executive
“One of the highlights of the workshop was Wendi’s story about losing her career at 50. Her stories were truly empowering and left me feeling motivated and inspired. I cannot recommend this workshop enough. It opened my eyes to my own limited beliefs and helped me to recognize and celebrate my own power and potential.”
Pamela Grau, Artist
“Wendi’s workshop on Breaking Out of the Age Cage was very thoughtfully and creatively designed, with plenty of practical ideas for breaking out of the “Age Cage. I came away with a heightened awareness of the false concepts that limit us as we age.”
Susan Dearing, Career Coach
“What a wonderful event! Wendi was a powerful leader and her “talk” so engaging. I loved the way she had us look at both, our worst and best case scenarios which broke it down so simply. The group was completely engaged.; you had the group completely engaged.”
Robin Goldstein, Chef
“Wendi’s workshop was nutrition for the soul.
I was so impressed by the preparation and love she put into creating an experience that inspired us to change our perspective on aging,
We were bathed in the beauty of her garden, the creativity of her HeArt Studio. And lifted up by a sisterhood of women speaking their truth.”
