You're warmly invited to this day-long Sacred Self Care Retreat if you're tired of just dreaming and ready to create your very own FemiFesto! 


(My fancy pants word for a plan done the feminine way.


You're ready for this if you want to bring your desires to reality in a way that feels easeful and graceful, and doesn't use up all your energy.


Making things happen through pushing, pleasing, or perfecting might have worked in your 20's and 30's, and now it's time to learn the fun and feminine way to plan!


Meet Your MidLife Midwife

Hi, I’m Cindi! If you’re a woman in peri-menopause or menopause, I’d like you to think of me as your MidLife MidWife. My desire to help you navigate this powerful passage stems from my own 10+ years going through peri-menopause. And even long before “the change”, I transformed my own self-care habits after a quarter life crisis in my late 20s. I love to show women how to rest deeply and breakthrough the habits of pushing, pleasing, and perfecting, a struggle I overcame after burning out. I’m a Certified Kripalu Yoga Teacher, Advanced Relax & Renew Trainer, and Co-author of two best-selling anthologies, Awakening the Divine Feminine: 18 Stories of Healing, Inspiration, & Empowerment and LOVE NOTES from the Soul: Stories of Transformation & Hope. As the creator of the Vibrant Woman Program and the Inspired Menopause Circle, I love to help my midlife sisters, like you, design your own joyful journey, come alive again, and thrive with abundance. There’s so much potential and possibility awaiting you “on the other side”. I’m so glad you’re here!

Peri through Post Menopause may be the biggest wake-up call you’ll ever receive around what you really want. What you create and do during midlife sets the stage for the rest of your time on this planet. This potent life passage and initiation into wise womanhood only comes around once. Are you ready?

The As to all your FAQs

  • Where and when will the FemiFestival (day-long retreat) take place?

    THE VIBRANT WOMAN FEMIFESTIVAL will be held February 1st, 2026. We'll meet in my virtual Zoom Room (link will be sent in reminder emails once you register). The masterclass will be held from 8am - 3pm PST/10am - 5pm CST/11am - 6pm EST.

  • What will I need for the FemiFestival (day-long retreat)?

    You will need equipment for a restorative yoga practice and gentle movement. As soon as you register, you'll have access to a list of required props and a link where you can order any you need. When I'm guiding a pose, I also offer alternatives you might have on hand around your home.

  • What if I can't make it live to the FemiFestival (day-long retreat)?

    You'll gain the most benefit from attending live, in-person on zoom. However, if that's not possible, the event will be recorded in several shorter modules that you can digest at your own pace. All materials will be downloadable, and you'll have unlimited access to the replays after the event.
