Menopause - Wisdom of Body and Mind WORKSHOP FOR WOMEN

About the event

MENOPAUSE – WISDOM OF BODY AND MIND Menopause is not the end; it is an invitation to change and live in harmony with your body, emotions, and self. This time may evoke a sense of loss and fear. We experience changes on physical, mental, and emotional levels. Therefore, it is important to understand this time, take care of yourself, and prepare for the next 30 years of life and beyond.
