The dreaded M word. It should stand for Misunderstood and Misrepresented. Everything I have read so far about Menopause in social media and popular culture is doing just that, misrepresenting what should be a celebrated and sacred transition into wisdom, leadership, and power. But we have detoured so far from honouring sacred cycles, we can no longer connect to the power of the Wise One, she who has experience, maturity, and integrity. We are all suffering without the presence of true female elders, they should be the lanterns guiding the way for all of us.
This workshop is designed to tear apart all the misrepresentation around menopause. I will cover from an Ayurvedic point of view, all of the factors that determine a woman’s experience of menopause. The key areas being Agni, Heart, Liver and Ama. I will discuss how if a woman chooses to address these areas she will radically change her experience of menopause. We will also discuss how to work with menopausal symptoms, hormonal imbalances, and changes in the body.
Ideally, all women should start preparing for Menopause at age 35. All of us undergo a hormonal shift at age 35 and 45. Unfortunately, we are not educated about our hormonal changes and often bring a hormonal imbalance into our menopause experience. All of this can be prevented, and I will share how to do this.
Menopause is a transition and a transformation. It is an ending, intended for women to strip back all that no longer works in their lives so they can embrace their new life as a Wise Woman. Menopause is truly a powerful stage of a woman’s life and my goal is to bring back the respect and reverence it deserves for all women.
