About the event
Welcome dear Women,
Menopause is a unique experience for every woman. It’s a time when radical changes take place physiologically, emotionally and spiritually.
It’s a time of exploring and navigating new pathways of self-identity, acceptance and purpose.
In our western culture feminine beauty is primarily associated with the younger woman, and the natural aging process can be challenging for many women to embrace fully.
Some of us may flow gracefully into our autumn years, though for many women it is a challenging and confusing time. They may feel tired and exhausted and don’t find the support needed for this passage. Not quite understanding what’s going on a deeper level they may feel disheartened and disempowered.
As we cycle into the menopausal transition, an opportunity is awakening to evaluate and inquire into life so far; What lies beneath the roles that have been played, the masks that have been worn; as a mother, a wife/partner, a career woman, a caretaker or grandmother?
For some women it may be a time of deep decent. A time to start dissolving the inhibitions around expression, a time to renegotiate boundaries and desires.
Dear Women, this is a time to deeply nurture YOURSELVES …..Acknowledge and share your gifts and honor the wisdom you have gathered throughout life’s experiences.
As you enter into this transitioning cycle of menopause that innately brings you into your elder years of womanhood, you do have a choice of how you navigate and move through this powerful gateway.
Menopause is not only an ending of our physically fertile years but more importantly a beginning that’s rich with the potential for empowerment, liberation and fulfillment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mez Harrison: I'm a proud postmenopausal woman. The journey into my autumn years has gathered and grown me much love , respect , gratitude and deep honouring for the sacredness that is embodied within the essence of every woman.
I have been following my dharma for many years now, as a bodyworker, a teacher, a space holder and as a guide for women to unite, explore and empower by finding presence and connection within their own essence. I hold a deep growing passion to work with the physicalities and energetics of the female pelvis. To be the conduit for women to find healing and peace by coming back home to the presence of their own sacredness, wisdom and intuitive power that is held within this space of creation.

Claudine Gertrude Over the last 30 years I've been exploring all kind of different practices that connect the body, the soul and the spirit. Experiencing embodiment, my physicality and how it relates to my emotions, the memory of events and patterns held in my body has led me to understand myself and life deeply. I have a diploma in Sacred Feminine Yoga and I have spent 7 years deeply involved with women through Rite of Passage work. Over the last 8 years I transitioned into and arrived into the Maga,the young Crone phase of my life and I love it. I keep deepening into myself and instead of following my blood cycle I'm feeling more deeply connected into the moon cycle.
A great passion to support women on their journey into this phase of life has awakened in me; into this phase of life that is so rich and powerful.www.claudine-gertrude.com.au
