Join your host, Edwina Peden, for the opening session of The Perimenopause Summit: Rise in Grace — a gentle, grounding welcome to this sacred space. Edwina will share the bigger vision behind the summit, the heartfelt intention to reframe perimenopause as a powerful rite of passage, and her hope that every woman feels seen, supported, and more connected to her body’s deep wisdom. Gather with us to set the tone, drop into circle, and remember that you are not alone on this journey.

We’ll explore how to move your body in midlife to feel strong, supple, and vibrant — supporting your longevity and easing the aches and niggles that can come with ageing and old injuries.

Discover how to turn your everyday meals into powerful medicine for your hormones, mood, and midlife vitality — all through the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda. We’ll explore how simple, seasonal foods and mindful eating rituals can balance your doshas, calm your mind, and deeply nourish your changing body, so you feel grounded, radiant, and truly supported from within.

In this candid conversation, Jane opens up about her own perimenopause story and how sharing it — with humour and honesty — empowers other women to embrace midlife unapologetically.

Katie Rose brings a grounded, deeply compassionate voice to the season of perimenopause  — and in our conversation, she offered the kind of wisdom that feels like a warm cup of tea and a truth bomb all in one. Drawing on teachings from her new book The Yoni Codes, Katie invites us to turn down the noise of external advice and turn inward — to the quiet, wise voice within. She believes healing isn’t something we outsource; it’s a path led by our own intuition. Her message to the women joining this summit? “You carry the codes for healing inside you.”

Katie also spoke with fierce clarity about the emotional undercurrents of midlife — the resentment, grief, and unspoken longings that often rise to the surface in this season. She reminded us that perimenopause isn’t just hormonal — it’s spiritual. It’s a reckoning. A wake-up call to reclaim your desires, release inherited patterns, and begin living with deeper alignment and joy. Whether you're curious about Ayurveda, navigating sleep issues, or simply craving a space where your experience is honoured — Katie’s session is a balm for the soul. You won’t want to miss it.

In this deeply resonate conversation we'll discuss themes from her book Call of the Wild — especially how we see women’s unmet needs, boundaries, rage, and nervous system patterns surface during perimenopause.

In this illuminating session, Laura Plumb will share how the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and Jyotish (Vedic astrology) can help you navigate the ever-shifting tides of perimenopause with more grace and ease. Discover how aligning with lunar cycles and your unique constitution can balance hormones, soothe emotional ups and downs, and reconnect you with nature’s rhythms — so you feel supported, nourished, and wise through this sacred season of change.

In this gentle, insightful conversation, Dr. Lauren and I explore how perimenopause can impact our mental health — and how we can meet the emotional ups and downs with compassion, community, and practical tools to feel supported through this season.

In this eye-opening, no-fluff conversation, we tackle the big question on every midlife woman’s mind: what the hell is actually going on with our hormones in perimenopause?! You’ll get clear, practical insights into why things feel so up-and-down — and how to work with your changing body (instead of fighting it) so you can feel more balanced, informed, and empowered in this wild season of change.

We dive into the real truth about fasting for women — why our bodies need a different approach, how to sync fasting with your cycle, and how to do it wisely in perimenopause. You’ll walk away with practical insights and gentle, cycle-aligned ways to use fasting as a supportive tool for your hormones, energy, and vitality in this season of life.

In this nourishing session, Rachel Noakes will gently guide us through the sacred practices that have held her through menopause — weaving goddess energy, mantra chanting, and timeless yogic wisdom. Together, we’ll drop into a beautiful practice to reconnect with our inner stillness, soften into change, and remember the quiet freedom that lives within us all.

In this heartfelt conversation, Shae and I open up about our personal journeys through menstrual health, breast cancer, perimenopause, and menopause — and the spiritual practices that have helped us find strength, softness, and unexpected joy through it all. Together, we’ll explore the power of real stories, deep compassion, and how embracing our sacred cycles can lead us home to ourselves.

Join Edwina in this sacred closing circle as we wrap up The Perimenopause Summit: Rise in Grace. Edwina will share heartfelt insights from our time together and offer gentle guidance on how to carry this wisdom forward — so you can keep moving through perimenopause, and life, in deep connection and grace.
