When shifting hormones and all that is accompanied by this bodily change make themselves known, it could be a perfect time to connect with other women, tell our stories, resolve what we do not want to carry along with us, and support each other in weaving our futures.

We will explore what it means to shift from being a younger woman, with the possibilities of having children, in a culture that adores youth, to moving toward the summer and autumn of our lives, blooming in ways we perhaps did not have time or energy for, harvesting meaning from our experiences, and defining what it is we would like to contribute at this stage of our development.
