Amie Newman & Tiana Colovos: Reclaiming Ourselves in Menopause and Beyond

Join us for a 90‑minute, interactive workshop exploring menopause and the transformative possibilities of midlife and beyond. Through shared storytelling, reflective writing, and gentle movement, we’ll reconnect with our bodies, release outdated narratives, and imagine what’s possible in this next chapter. Come as you are—curious, tender, fiery, foggy, empowered—and leave hopefully feeling more grounded, supported, and inspired by the wisdom you already carry.

What are the stories about this stage of life you want to share or discard? What are you holding onto that inspires you or that no longer fits, and what do you dream of doing now?

Menopause and post-menopause have been framed in Western culture by what women are “losing”: our fertility, our sexual desires, our cognitive functions. And this period of life can bring grief as we experience transitions: the ending of marriages, empty-nesting, and becoming caregivers to aging parents. Many of us wonder about the choices we didn’t make: the careers we put aside, the passions we didn’t pursue, the sex we did or didn’t have. Maybe you’re grieving the life you thought you’d have up to this point. The relationships, including friendships, you’ve had for decades may no longer feel as fulfilling.

Even if you’ve accomplished much, or even all, of what you set out to do when you were younger, and you feel deeply grounded in your relationships and career, you might feel a calling or a curiosity about what’s next.

Along with life transitions, our bodies undergo a range of changes that Western medicine can either overpathologize or overlook entirely.

What does it look and feel like, in our bodies, and how can we support each other to feel as good as we can in midlife and beyond?
