The Hagitude program – now available on-demand

The Fool's Journey through the second half of life

Hi everyone

Just a quick email to let you know that my yearlong Hagitude membership program, which ended yesterday, is from today available as a self-study, on-demand course.

Yesterday, we ended the live membership program, which began in October 2022, with a beautiful closing ceremony on Zoom. There were tears all round both from participants and the team; it’s been such a rich and profound experience for all of us. If you weren’t able to join us on that journey, the self-study version of the program, which includes all of the resources developed during this transformative year, offers an enormous array of materials in different formats to guide you and inspire you on your own journey.

Here are a few comments from participants on the yearlong program:

‘A tidal wave of wisdom and creativity. I have participated in several programs about menopause and aging but never felt it was an authentic, intimate discovery process. I found this in the Hagitude Program, which has been deeply enriching.’

‘I believe this course is a most precious gift and magical legacy that you could gift a woman of this time.’

‘My heartfelt thanks to Sharon for her vision and inspired channelling of the energy of the feminine, of the hag, and the Earth itself.’

The program is focused around the following questions:

• How can we navigate the stormy waters of menopause and find continued growth, meaning and authenticity in the second half of life?

• How might we work with the stories of the little-known but powerful elder women in myth and folklore – both to inspire us to create new stories of our own, and to reimagine our journey to and through elderhood?

• How can we uncover, and embrace, our own unique, archetypal Inner Hag?

• How, by working with and understanding our own stories, and our own mythopoetic journey through life, can we fully and finally embody the unique gift which each of us brings to this world, at this time?

• How can women elders pass down their deep feminine wisdom for the benefit of the wider Earth community, in these ever-more challenging times?

Once you sign up to the program, the following extensive resources will immediately be available to you, so that you can work through them at your own pace and continue to revisit them in the years to come.
