Changing Woman: Journey Well through Menopause

Sunday, May 21

12–4pm

Even if you have been resisting the idea that you are going through “the change of life,” there is no stopping or avoiding the process. The shift from fertility to menopause is a profound yet sometimes challenging transformation, and there is great beauty and power to be discovered in the journey if it is engaged mindfully.

In this popular class, we will explore the terrain most often encountered by a Changing Woman—physical, emotional and spiritual. We will draw on a rich tradition of plant allies and other holistic techniques that can help ease our passage, to help us emerge with more vitality and potency than ever. Handouts will be provided; herbal teas and a generous sampling of beneficial snack foods will be served.

Class is limited to women currently undergoing or completing hormonal changes—or who suspect in their deepest hearts that they are. You are not alone, you are not going crazy, and you need not “fade away”!

Instructor: Carol Trasatto. Carol is an herbalist with 35 years of experience who has, herself, traversed the changes of the menopausal transition. Having crossed this lifestage bridge—personally and with hundreds of clients—she understands the process from the inside...and feels honored to assist other women through this often deeply emotional transformation. Contact Carol at nettlelove@gmail.com with any questions.

Cost: $75, $60 each if two friends register/pay at same time.

September Class Feature

Introduction to Menstrual Well-being

Sunday, September 25

2–5pm

Learn to listen and observe the language of your body to harness the gifts and wisdom of the menstrual cycle.

Keeping a balanced perspective between science and intuition, we will explore the different hormones and energies in each stage of the menstrual cycle. We will work with both a moon dial and a fertility awareness chart to track fertility signs, creativity levels, physical and emotional signs of the different stages of the cycle and how they relate to the moon and the seasons.

The tools provided during this class can be used to understand your cycle’s unique patterns, work with your body, flow with your creative energy, and optimize your productivity.

This class is ideal for women who are trying to achieve or avoid pregnancy, heal PMS or other menstrual disorders, reconnect with their bodies, maintain excellent menstrual health or learn more about reusable menstrual products.

Instructor: Marissa Bolaños. Marissa, founder of Womb Revolution, is a Birth Doula, Placenta Encapsulator and Menstrual Empowerment Educator. With emphasis on community building and peer-to-peer support, she is dedicated to help women discover the tools to understand, love, and honor their bodies and improve their experience with reproductive health.
