November Lunch & Learn | Menopause as Psychic Rebirth (Hybrid)

Menopause is not merely a hormonal event. It is a psychic rupture. A call to descend into the unknown, where the body becomes both question and guide, and the path ahead cannot be seen with the old eyes. In this seminar, I will share my personal and professional journey through surgical menopause, one that arrived suddenly, shaped by a cancer diagnosis and years of trauma held in the tissues. Before that diagnosis, I had already been drawn to Descent to the Goddess: A Way of Initiation for Women, sensing something unnamed was beginning to stir. That book laid the symbolic groundwork for what was to come. It offered me a map for the descent I would soon be forced to take. When the rupture came, it wasn’t just medical. It was mythic and cellular. My somatic knowing faltered and my body, once a source of intuitive clarity, felt foreign. And then a dream came that warned me I wasn’t safe and I needed to change doctors. That I needed to listen at a level I had never fully surrendered to before. That dream saved my life, Sophia who spoke, not from outside me, but from within the deepest layers of my being. This seminar offers a space to reclaim menopause as an alchemical process. For those moving through it, approaching it, or holding others within it, this is an invitation to remember that initiation is not always chosen. But it can be honored. And the body, even in crisis, carries its own radiant knowing.

The presenter will be participating online.

Jane Clapp is a Jungian Analyst, somatic expert, and educator who has spent decades exploring the profound relationship between the body, psyche, and soul. She is the creator of Jungian Somatics™, a unique practice that weaves together movement, sensation, and the unconscious to cultivate a deep, lived experience of aliveness. Her path has always been rooted in embodied transformation. Jungian Somatics™ is not a modality of fixing but one of remembering—awakening what has been dormant and reclaiming the soul’s movement. At the heart of her work is the call to live in Mystical Aliveness.

Jane has centered her work on one essential question: How do we reconnect with the aliveness that sustains us? She has discovered that this aliveness is never lost. It can be reawakened—through movement, creativity, connection, and faith. Through teaching, consulting, and speaking, Jane supports others in bridging the unconscious and the body, helping them move beyond survival and into a deeper experience of embodied soulfulness. With a background in trauma recovery spanning over two decades, Jane has guided countless individuals through transformational processes. While her early work focused on healing deep wounds, she now centers her practice on guiding others toward what enlivens them. Her approach honors the intelligence of the unconscious as it moves through sensation, breath, and movement, offering a path to vitality, clarity, and profound self-trust.
