Ok, only 3 weeks late, but everything is locked down with the printers & I'm stupidly proud of this year's calendar. Crazy short turn around for pre-orders & delivery early December paullecomtephoto.nz/products…

The festival had begun with an opening ritual, in which Khadijatou Doyneh honoured the space beautifully. This set the scene for a day which embraced cultural, spiritual and creative aspects of #menopause, focusing on celebration, joy and flourishing, not just the challenges. 8/

It was captivating to watch art being created. @MendoncaPen produced a beautiful illustration which I was honoured to be in. The phrase “I am stepping into who I fully am” is based on how one of the @AutMenopause participants described menopause. It really resonated with me. 6/

The menopausal transition can be gradual, usually beginning with changes in the menstrual cycle. ‘Perimenopause’ refers to the period from when these signs are first observed, ending one year after the final menstrual period bit.ly/3gk5B4U #WorldMenopauseDay
