📍 ST. ALi Cafe
South Melbourne VIC
What if you had a place to simply come as you are?
Women at the Table is a casual fortnightly café gathering for women in the threshold years + a place to share stories, be witnessed, make connections and talk about what’s really happening in our lives.
No workshop.
No presentation.
No fixing.
Just women around a table.
Perimenopause and menopause may be part of the conversation + but they don’t have to be.
Because the threshold years can bring change in so many forms:
Our bodies.
Our relationships.
Our work.
Our identity.
Our creativity.
Our dreams.
What we’re ready to leave behind.
And what we’re ready to create next.
Come and connect with women who may be navigating similar questions, changes and transitions.
You might arrive knowing nobody.
You might leave with a new friendship, a collaboration, a new perspective + or simply the feeling:
“Ah… I’m not the only one.”
WHAT TO EXPECT
☕️ Coffee, tea, chai or whatever fills your cup
💬 Open conversation
🤍 Story sharing and genuine connection
👂 Being heard and witnessed
🌿 Personal and professional connection
😂 Laughter, honesty and real conversations
🐾 Dogs welcome
🧡 Children welcome
There is no formal program and no expectation that you share anything you’re not comfortable sharing.
Come alone. Come with a friend. Come exactly as you are.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Women in their 40s, 50s and beyond, particularly those navigating the threshold years of perimenopause, menopause and beyond.
You don’t need to identify as being in menopause to attend.
Perhaps you’re changing careers.
Perhaps you’re starting something new.
Perhaps you’re leaving something behind.
Perhaps you’re questioning what you actually want now.
Or perhaps you simply want to meet more women and have conversations that go a little deeper than:
“How’s work?”
There’s room for all of it.
THE INVITATION
Come for the conversation.
Stay for the connection.
Pull up a chair.
There’s room for you here.
