ABOUT EMPOWERING MENOPAUSE COURSE

Are you wondering if you are experiencing peri-menopause?

Perhaps you have been riding the menopause wave and want to understand your experience.

Menopause is a profound life experience that is unique and personal to each woman. It might feel like a mystifying challenge to your wellbeing, sense of self and life. Or it may have minimal impact on your life.

Whatever your experience of peri-menopause, menopause and post-menopause, your experience has likely been shaped by the context around you. This might include experiences of family or friends who have experienced menopause, the biomedical system’s approach to menopause, the media, your particular community’s beliefs around women and ageing.

Although there is greater general talk about menopause, women’s lives and experiences are not fully acknowledged. Often menopause is pathologised, medicalised and misunderstood.

Menopause is a metamorphosis. It is not a disease or disorder. This time of change in women’s lives can invite possibility for each woman.

Empowering Menopause invites you to explore your menopause experience to discover what it means for you, create resources to navigate it and to celebrate this feminine rite of passage.

You will engage with your menopause experiences through yoga, meditation, somatic and expressive arts activities. These activities assist you to develop presence, self-compassion and agency that support navigating change and transformation. Reacquaint yourself with rest and relaxation - fundamental experiences to support transformation. Reconnect with and honour your miraculous and wise body. Women's story and therapeutic creative activities will enable you to explore the meaning within menopause for you.

The Course is experiential, so there will be plenty of time devoted to activities and practices that support your menopausal health and wellbeing, including opportunities for self-enquiry and connection. You will have access to online resources that support the in-person experience. We aim to provide you with an immersive experience and enables you to bring your Course encounters into daily life.
