Feminine Wisdom of the Elder Years with Meg Wheatley in Menopause Chronicles

May 6 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Join Dr. Welch and Menopause Chronicles participants as we welcome our guest instructor Margaret (Meg) Wheatley on May 6, 2025 Eastern (New York) Time.

In this session, Meg will share her reflections on stepping into our role as women elders. This can be a precious stage grounded in the wisdom we’ve accrued through our life struggles, successes, and learnings. Our deep knowing is the gift we can offer now, to a world so desperate for the creative and life-affirming energy of the Feminine. Drawing from decades of global experience and her work with Warriors for the Human Spirit, with her characteristic honesty and grounded insight, she invites us to consider what becomes possible when we claim our wisdom as elders, and lead with devotion to the human spirit.

About Margaret (Meg) Wheatley, Ed.D.

Margaret (Meg) Wheatley began caring about the world’s peoples in 1966, as a Peace Corps volunteer in post-war Korea. In many different roles–speaker, teacher, consultant, advisor, formal leader—she acts from the unshakable conviction that leaders must learn how to invoke people’s inherent generosity, creativity and need for community. As this world tears us apart, sane leadership on behalf of the human spirit is the only way forward. Since 1973, Meg has taught, consulted, and advised an unusually broad variety of organizations on all continents (except Antarctica). Her clients and audiences range from the head of the U.S. Army to twelve-year-old Girl Scouts, from CEOs and government ministers to small town ministers, from large universities to rural aboriginal villages. She has served as full-time graduate management faculty at two universities, and been a formal advisor for leadership programs in England, Croatia, Denmark, Australia and the U.S. Through Berkana, she has advised leadership initiatives in India, Senegal, Brazil, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Mexico, Greece, Canada and Europe.

Meg received her doctorate in Organizational Behavior from Harvard University, her Masters in Media Ecology with Neil Postman from N.Y.U. , and her Bachelor’s from the University of Rochester (with a year’s study at University College London). She has been honored for her ground-breaking work by many professional associations, universities, and organizations.

She has authored thirteen books, from the classic Leadership and the New Science (1992, 1n 21 languages) to Who Do We Choose To Be: Facing Reality, Claiming Leadership, Restoring Sanity (2017, 2023) and Restoring Sanity: Practices to Awaken Generosity, Creativity, and Kindness in Ourselves and Our Organizations (2024). Her most creative work (2020 with Jerry Granelli) is an audio and book, The Warrior’s Songline, a Journey into Warriorship Guided by Voice And Sound.

Since 2015, she has been training leaders and activists from more than 35 countries as Warriors for the Human Spirit, an in-depth training program and path of service supported by a robust global community.
