One of the most empowering experiences I had was throwing myself a 60th birthday party in Victoria, BC. I invited some family, some friends, to join me for a weekend. That people came, some from all the way across the country, meant so much to me, and the whole weekend I felt so loved and supported as I joined a new age group (as my running friends said, which was true!). I didn’t realize it at the time, but it started that new decade off for me in the best possible way. So I highly recommend a crone party/celebration of some sort at a time that feels right for your life.

Sounds like a rich and meaningful gathering, Annie. Thanks so much for sharing this - and for stopping by for brunch on Sunday. It was a delight to catch up on your travels.

The five beautiful, strong elder women in my writers group have all been celebrated with croning rituals. We would love to talk to you about crowning!

Cool! I will definitely be in touch. What age or milestone did the five women in your book group choose?

We are all over 65, and well into out 70s. That said, we didn't really use a milestone. Personally, i think it is flexible marker.
