Discovering Our Magic: Meet the Autumn Queen
Maiden, Mother, Crone. For centuries, those were the stories we got about a woman’s life. Stacey Lindsay discovered one missing: the woman in between. She’s embodied, grounded in self-knowledge, and alive with magic. She’s the Autumn Queen, a mythological archetype embodying raw courage, creativity, intuition, and power. In Being 40, Stacey argues that leaving her out of our stories has been anything but accidental, and shows us how to bring her back.
As we head into a new year, we’re skipping the resolutions and holding a coronation. Come for a conversation with Stacey about the Autumn Queen: who she is, why we lost track of her, and what expands when you let her lead. Then get your hands busy. Through guided journaling, a little sketching, and some gloriously unserious crafting, uncover your own inner Autumn Queen. Design an Autumn Queen tarot card, and make a personal ornament to remind you of her magic within you. Leave with these talismans and a clearer sense of what you’re ready to let go of, and what you're finally ready to claim.
Whether you’re just approaching 40, in the thick of it, or happily past it, this evening is for you.
