At the heart of this book lies a menopause story, because stories offer us a powerful word-based and visual-based language with which we can describe ourselves, express ourselves, and identify and understand our changes and awakening perception. In a modern world that leaves mature women without a language and without a voice, we need a new mythology.

Our path is always our own, but we share many things in common with the other women who are descending the menopause steps within the Labyrinth. It is through the language of story that we can describe ourselves and share our experiences and support the women who are journeying alongside of us.

The wisdom of the menopause years is flexible, and we can take what fits our experiences, leave what doesn’t resonate for us, or create our own unique understanding that is

To understand our path ahead we will need to delve into the mysteries of the cyclic feminine as a universal force that is reflected in the physical world, in our bodies, and in our lives.
