Radiant Transitions: Ayurveda for the Menopausal Journey

Perimenopause and menopause are powerful transitions—not endings, but gateways to deeper vitality, wisdom, and creative freedom. Through the lens of Ayurveda, these years are understood as a natural shift in the body’s elemental balance, particularly of Vata and Pitta. In this talk, we’ll explore how Ayurvedic principles can help ease common symptoms like hot flashes, anxiety, and sleep changes, while nourishing the body, mind, and spirit. You’ll learn practical lifestyle rhythms, simple herbal supports, and grounding daily rituals to create steadiness and ease through change. We’ll also touch on the emotional and spiritual dimensions of this life stage, honoring it as a time of renewal rather than decline. This is an empowering conversation for anyone approaching or moving through this sacred transition.

Xanna Seto's deep roots in folk and rock and roll and her current study and practice of Indian Classical Music, Raaga and Peruvian Andean Medicine music give her a diverse background from which to draw her musical offerings. She plays tamboura and harmonium, with 20+ years of performance experience and soulful vocals that have a vibrant blend of earthy and ethereal qualities.

For Xanna, music is the pathway to liberation. She knows every moment of every day is an offering and a prayer and her sacred mission is to guide us in to the remembering that we are all perfect expressions of the Divinity inherent within us.
