A warm welcome into Midlife Magic with A’magine, setting the tone for a week of honest conversations about burnout, grief, aging, sexuality, desire, and the strange freedom of midlife.

This opening invites participants to name what they’re no longer available for, feel into their bigger yes, and enter the gathering as a space for rebellion, erotic reinvention, and coming home to themselves.

Menopause isn’t just a hormonal shift. It can be an underworld passage, stripping away old identities, old expectations, and the version of ourselves that was fueled by productivity, availability, and pushing through.

In this conversation, Kimberly Ann Johnson invites us into the quieter, darker wisdom of midlife: the grief, the burnout, the body changes, the rebellion against “fixing” menopause, and the strange initiation of becoming someone new.

What if the fire in you was never the problem, but the thing patriarchy taught you to fear?

In this conversation, Lucy Pearce explores the history of women being punished for their power, creativity, sexuality, spirituality, and rage, and how midlife invites us to stop performing the “good woman” and start trusting what wants to burn through us now.

Seeing is not only something we do with our eyes. It can become a doorway into the body, the imaginal, the ancestral, and the living world around us.

Narah Wilder brings the language of poetry, bodywork, nature, and sensation to this session on widening our perception. This is an invitation to see with more than the mind, and to let the erotic return through attention, feeling, and belonging.

What if slowing down isn’t a failure, but the doorway back to what matters?

In this funny, tender conversation, Sam Bennett reframes creativity, procrastination, brain fog, low energy, and midlife overwhelm. She offers a kinder way to work with your spoons, your ideas, and the projects that keep tapping you on the shoulder.

Menopause has a way of revealing what you can no longer carry.

In this conversation, Aiswarya reframes menopause as a sacred initiation: a time of grief, pattern-breaking, self-reclamation, and deep listening to the body’s wisdom as you enter the next phase of your life.

The body is not only asking to be managed through menopause. It is asking to be touched, listened to, and tended with more reverence.

Matia Divitt guides us into breast and lymph care as a ritual of radical self-care, body connection, and midlife vitality. This session brings together somatic wisdom, gentle touch, and practical nourishment for the body’s changing seasons.
