What if the transition of midlife wasn’t a "breaking down," but a profound "re-architecting"?

What if the transition of midlife wasn’t a "breaking down," but a profound "re-architecting"?

We invite you to The Body of Becoming,

a curated sanctuary for women navigating the perimenopausal and menopausal years.

Hosted by Brae Onnah Sisk (Creative Director of SomaRoot Center) in collaboration with Molly Paul, this series blends somatic intelligence, creative expression, and community wisdom to help you map the changing landscape of your body and psyche. Together, we move beyond "getting through" and toward a deep, joyful curiosity for the vessel you are becoming.

Join us as we explore the internal blueprints of nourishment, resilience, grounding, creativity, and whole-body-mind organization.

The Series Experience

  • Expert Inquiries: Collaborative sessions with health experts, movement explorers, creative practitioners, and community pioneers.

  • Somatic Skill-Sharing: Practical tools to stabilize the nervous system, manage hormonal shifts, and reclaim internal connection.

  • Cultivating Curiosity & Creativity: Exploring methods of expression that push the edges of who you have known yourself to be.

  • Supportive Community: A dedicated space for midlife women to share, listen, and evolve together.
