Interested in engaging deeply with conscious menopause and sacred female eldership. I highly recommend this audio book by the fabulous Clarissa Pinkola Estes (author of Women who run with wolves) it’s just fabulous! She is a powerhouse of inspirational story- myth- soul- archetype- and womanhood.
Enjoy ✨♥️♥️♥️✨

"Dear brave souls, I warmly invite you to come be at the fireside with me and the Dangerous Old Woman and the Power of the Crone. Who is the crone? She is the most dangerous, the most radical, the most revolutionary woman in existence. Whether in fairy tales or in consensual reality, the old one goe...

"I am a visual artist living and working in Sonoma, CA. I was born in San Francisco, immersed in the arts and culture of the Bay Area and began my professional career by obtaining a BFA from the University of San Francisco and the Academy of Art College, then a MFA from Rhode Island School of Design, both in painting." from the Artist's statement, via Artist's website

"My Lace Painting series weaves iconography and symbolism into intricate lace patterns. For the past few years, I have been using sacred hearts, skulls, and animal imagery in my still life paintings to symbolize the fragility and frivolity of life, like the Dutch masters vanitas paintings. My interest is in representing the fleeting nature of life with symbolic objects of the inevitability of death.
My lace paintings are intrinsically female, the satisfaction that comes along with making meaningful work with one’s hands, is akin to making lace or crocheting. The lace look to the paintings is related to my natural style of drawing and doodling, allowing me to work quickly and effortlessly, reflecting on my feminine nature."

“What I need isn't much.
It is a circle
Of deep hearted women
With whom I can sing
And pour
Out the bottom of my tears.

What I need isn't much.
It is a fire
With a pot atop it
Cooking something wonderful
And people
Who deeply want
To nourish each other.

What I need isn't much
It's people to sit with In silence
While we peel carrots
And notice the changing rhythms
Of our earth.

What I need isn't much.
It's people
Who can hold our children together
In the deepest care,
Who are dedicated to their growth.

What I need is people
With whom I can move —
With dance, with art, with prayer,
With the deepest strength of love —
The grief of the ancestors
That has come in to our care
And to harvest the deep
Gifts that come from that
To offer each other.”

Some useful information! Thanks Hugh I have never tried these supplements. I bring these foods into my diet. I have also found by keeping my back strong and doing exercise which engage my pelvic floor this has reduced these sorts of issues in menopause for me.
What have you found works? ✨♥️✨ (ps I’m not promoting products- just ideas)
