Holding the Whole Body — Healing Practices for the Menopausal Journey
Menopause is not a moment—it’s a passage. One that touches every part of who we are: body, mind, spirit, memory, and relationship. This panel gathers an intergenerational circle of healers—doctors, therapists, bodyworkers, spiritual practitioners, and somatic guides—who have committed their practices to honoring the full spectrum of this transformation.
Together, they will explore what it means to care for the whole body through menopause and beyond. What tools, traditions, and interventions do we need? How do we address trauma, pleasure, spiritual disconnection, and medical neglect as part of one sacred continuum? What does healing justice look like when we hold menopause as a rite of passage rather than a pathology?
