About this event
Join us for a supportive and creative journey through menopause at our monthly workshop. Whether you’re navigating the physical, emotional, or psychological changes that come with this life stage, this group offers a safe, welcoming space to express yourself, explore new insights, and connect with others who truly understand.
Led by two compassionate and experienced Art Therapists, this workshop blends creative expression with therapeutic techniques to help you process your experiences, reduce stress, and build resilience. No art experience is needed—just bring an open heart and mind.
Research shows that menopause itself does not directly cause depression or mood swings; instead, it may signal unfinished business in a woman’s life. The symptoms you experience can be seen as a call to pay attention to areas that need nurturing and healing.
Together, we’ll use art as a tool for self-discovery, healing, and empowerment. Discover new ways to support yourself during menopause, all while enjoying a calm, nurturing environment filled with understanding and encouragement.
Whether you’re navigating menopause yourself or are a practitioner looking to deepen your understanding, this workshop offers valuable tools and insights.
Come for the support. Stay for the creativity. Take away the tools to navigate your unique journey through menopause.
