About this Event
Our first live event lands on World Menopause Day — come for the wisdom, stay for the laughs (and the occasional hot flush). As a non‑profit, we’re here to educate, support and bring some much‑needed humour to midlife. From the Menopause Dinners podcast to Hot Flush Desk, you’re joining a community that’s growing faster than our symptoms.
We have speakers talking all subjects from Joint Pain, Work place, Career changes, Art Therapy & Nutrition . Also classes, Sound bath and Yoga which are all included in the price. On top of that we have at the end of the day a podcast where you are the guest!
