Exploring the Menopause Weekend Workshop

16th & 17th March 2019

Cabby Laffy & Eileen Bellot

Exacerbated by a lack of knowledge and negative social attitudes, many women find the Menopause a confusing and uncomfortable phase in their lives. Some have fears and concerns about the impact on their libido, self-esteem, and mental wellbeing, and feel reluctant or embarrassed to speak about the subject directly. Many GP’s also feel uneducated and feel they have little to offer, especially if HRT is unwanted or contraindicated.

This weekend aims to give women a voice and empower them to understand their choices for managing a healthy transition through the menopause. We will provide information about:

• the physiological process of the Menopause phase
• the impact of Stress on physical and emotional well being
• managing symptoms like anxieties, hot flushes, sleep difficulties

Through experiential exercises and group discussion there is an opportunity to explore:

• beliefs, experiences and myths about Menopause
• your relationship with your own cycle of life
• your thoughts and feelings about sexuality
• ‘The Change’ – your goals, dreams, hopes

Dates: Saturday and Sunday 16^th and 17^th March 2019

Venue: Spiral Therapy Centre, 2 Shelburne Road, London N7 6DL

Times: 11 am to 5 pm

Fee: £150 waged. Some concessions are available for low/unwaged on request.

WOW- Women of the World Festival Southbank Centre 11th March 2018

We are off to the WOW Festival at the Southbank Centre, on Sunday 11th March 3-4pm. We will be a taking part in their discussion panel Your Own Personal Heatwave

The panel will discuss hot flushes, changing moods, loss of libdo… the menopause has a bad reputation. But is the second half of a woman’s life necessarily the worst? Is there a conspiracy of silence over the menopause? Do women of a certain age become invisible? What does how we talk – or not talk – about the menopause say about how society views women?
