Ashley and Heather founded Wise Lotus Collective to facilitate compassionate self-reflection surrounding healthy shifts in body, mind, and spirit. Their partnership is guided by their mutual belief in the power of sisterhood, wisdom-based traditions, and best practices for midlife women. They have observed that conventional views and norms may take a disempowering view of midlife. This approach doesn’t fit with Ashley and Heather’s intuitive felt sense of what the heart of this shift and change has the potential to be for women both individually and collectively. They work together to gently usher women into the potency of their 3rd age in a way that is both refreshingly positive and mindfully grounded.
“I think midlife is when the universe gently places her hands upon your shoulders, pulls you close, and whispers in your ear:
I’m not screwing around. It’s time. All of this pretending and performing – these coping mechanisms that you’ve developed to protect yourself from feeling inadequate and getting hurt – has to go.
Time is growing short. There are unexplored adventures ahead of you. You can’t live the rest of your life worried about what other people think. You were born worthy of love and belonging. Courage and daring are coursing through you. You were made to live and love with your whole heart. It’s time to show up and be seen.” ~Brene Brown
