Embracing Change

From rivers of blood to surges of fire, the alchemical passage of menopause requires great courage. Like puberty and childbirth, this magical female process transforms us into an entirely new type of being.

And like puberty and childbirth, knowledge and community support can help us avoid unnecessary medicalization of what can be scary and distressing bodily changes.

Let’s share stories of wild change and discuss herbal and nutritional remedies that can keep us safe and intact as we move through this powerful transition.

Women of all ages are welcome.
