Well Seasoned

A celebration of women in midlife.

Health. Art. Community. Curiosity. Connection.

There is a lot going on in midlife.

Our bodies are changing. Our relationships may be changing. We may be caring for parents, launching children, rethinking work, rediscovering ourselves, trying something new — or simply wondering what comes next.

And somewhere in the middle of all of that, there are about a thousand things we suddenly want to know.

Welcome to Well Seasoned.

Well Seasoned is a joyful gathering created for women navigating the big, interesting, complicated, funny, sometimes bewildering years of midlife.

It is a place to learn something, try something, make something, ask questions, meet people, discover local resources, and spend time with women who understand this season of life.

Come curious.

Leave with ideas, information, connections — and maybe a few new friends.

What Will You Find at Well Seasoned?

A little bit of everything women in midlife are talking about, wondering about, or ready to explore.

Health & Wellbeing

Perimenopause and menopause. Sleep. Hormones. Mental health. Sexual health. Strength. Nutrition. Heart health. Bone health. Pelvic health. Healthy aging.

Art & Creativity

Artists. Makers. Workshops. Music. Writing. Hands-on experiences. Opportunities to make something simply because you want to.

Movement

Ways to move that feel good — from walking and strength to yoga, dance, stretching, and trying something completely new.

Life in the Middle

Relationships. Friendships. Caregiving. Work. Money. Purpose. Reinvention. Empty nests. Aging parents. Starting over. Staying put. Figuring out what you want the next chapter to look like.

Community

Local organizations, businesses, practitioners, artists, educators, groups, and women doing interesting things throughout our community.

And plenty of opportunities to simply talk to one another.

Midlife Is Not One Thing.

Neither is Well Seasoned.

It can be serious and hilarious.

Challenging and liberating.

A time of enormous change and a time when many women finally begin asking:

What do I want now?

Well Seasoned is a place to explore that question — without pretending there is one right answer.

Come As You Are

You do not need to be an expert on menopause.

You do not need to be reinventing your life.

You do not need to arrive with a five-year plan, a yoga mat, or perfectly balanced hormones.

You just need to be curious.

Bring a friend. Bring your questions. Wander around. Meet someone new. Learn something unexpected. Make something. Laugh.

You’ve earned a little seasoning.

Something Good Is Growing

Well Seasoned is being created as a gathering for women in the Ithaca region — shaped by the interests, questions, talents, and experiences of women in our own community.

Want to attend, teach, exhibit, create, sponsor, volunteer, perform, or simply help us imagine what Well Seasoned could become?

We’d love to hear from you.
