Just to clarify… the majority of symptoms we experience during perimenopause are exacerbated by stress. Stress is caused by a patriarchal, capitalist society that extracts from us all, creates an endless cycle of ‘deficiency’; from your hormones, to your looks, your body, your age, your rate of productivity – which needs to be mechanical, robotic and unwavering as you endlessly strive to be and have more. This system is the same that extracts endlessly from the planet.
Midlife and planetary ‘break down’ are interwoven; the rage and fire of menorage are like the summer heatwaves that shout with no uncertainty ‘STOP!’
The system is broken, not us! Medication won’t ‘fix’ this!
If you’re tired, angry and feeling all the emotions and physical dissonance that come alongside a massive biological shift in the context of a broken world, it’s time to rewrite the narrative.
Perimenopause: a Spritiual Portal is on 20 September with me @centredspace and the marvellous @kate_codrington at Barcombe Village Hall.
We’d like to offer you shelter from the noise and distraction of the toxic culture around ageing and menopause to find clarity and the map for your path to Elderhood. Because the world needs us in all our messy glory right now, to stand up with the wisdom of matriarchy for a new age.
We’ll make the space and share the tools to compassionately explore the liminality of the pause as a gateway to profound personal and societal evolution.
Early bird offer ends July 31 and there are cheaper options if you come with friends, because community is key.
