March 15th 11am- 3pm Changing Woman: Flourishing Through Perimenopause

“I’m interested, but I’m not quite there yet.” Is this your response? I encourage you to consider the truth that for most women, perimenopause is a journey lasting many years, bringing with it subtle or not-so-subtle changes in emotional stability, sexual interest, sleep patterns, flexibility, hair, skin, muscle tone, urinary continence, as well as the infamous hot flashes, heavy bleeding, altered cycle length, cramping, and so on. There are often multiple waves of varying signals announcing that the change is underway; each woman is unique and yet we are all going through this together. There is no time like the present to learn more about what your bodymind is undergoing and how to support your particular process with tonifying plants.

Spend an afternoon with other women exploring ways to navigate hormonal changes (and herbal and medical advice!) without losing your mind, your job or your relationship! We will discuss ways to work the waves of bodymind changes and challenges so that you may benefit from them rather than be overwhelmed. The Change can offer a deep opportunity to reorient your health and your emotional experience so that the next phase of life is not a “withering” but an ever more beautiful expression of your whole self. Herbs, foods, essential oils, flower essences, and other approaches can be of great assistance in dealing with this powerful transition.

Please join us and bring a friend. You will walk away with a holistic picture of what is happening as well as many specifics to help guide you on. There will be an assortment of tasty supportive foods and teas for you to sample. Taught by Carol Trasatto, herbalist and changing woman. Class size is limited so please register early.

Cost: $75 includes supplies and many handouts;
$65 each if two friends register and pay at same time
