The Asherah Institute
Reclaiming the Power & Narrative Behind Our Hormonal Journeys
A safe, sacred space for women, and all those born with female anatomy, to transform isolation into community, shame and stigma into empowerment, and individual silence into collective strength.
Five Hormonal Transitions
Each Asherah Circle is dedicated to one threshold — honoring the biology and emotional landscape of that passage.
Puberty & Adolescence
PMDD & Monthly Cycles
Perinatal
Perimenopause
Post-Menopause
Gatherings rooted in science and soul.
In-person gatherings that bridge clinical education with reflection and ritual — offered either as a single three-hour sitting or as multiple shorter sessions.
Psychoeducational
Clinical, science-based insight into what biologically happens in the body and brain during a specific hormonal transition; tools to engage in supportive, uplifting, comfortable dialogue with yourself and your loved ones so as to minimize recurrence of stigmas & perpetuate a narrative of strength.
Reflection & Healing
Individual journaling; trauma-informed & consent-based space for story sharing & discussion; meditation; and intention setting & ritual to release inherited stigmas & to imprint strength and power.
Why this work, now
It is well-documented that, for generations, the medical establishment has marginalized, pathologized, and underrepresented women and girls, particularly during hormonal transitions.
The construct of the medical establishment is visibly shifting and there has been a surge of individual and institutional health equity efforts. Still, there is so much work to be done.
The Asherah Institute sees a valuable opportunity to use women's individual and collective power at the grassroots level to profoundly expedite this shift. Underlying our mission is the fundamental truth that women embody unparalleled power and capacity to uplift and heal themselves and those around them. With our curriculum and communities, we hope to immediately transform how we show up for ourselves and each other and to eventually contribute to the rewriting of our individual and societal narratives around hormonal transitions into one of strength, power, and grace.
