Menopause Wisdoms: Women's Stories of Becoming Crone - Brier Heart

Brier Heart's book, Menopause Wisdoms - Women's Stories of Becoming Crone, invites us to reconsider the old, worn-out narrative about what it is to be a Menopausal woman. She beautifully holds space for us to be curious about our changes; gently and skilfully prompting us to question and explore what our physical, emotional, spiritual and Soulful experiences are bringing to us.

She describes The Menopause as an initiation, an alchemical process of re-wilding and re-discovering the true nature of who we are; she encourages us to celebrate our menopausal years, with the knowledge that we will emerge as a wild, wise woman, a Crone.

The twelve women who share their Menopause stories, take us on a journey from the messages they received as a child, about what it is to be a woman, to how they experienced their menarche, transitioning into their Mother years and how they each approached moving toward or becoming Crone, as they navigated their menopausal years.

Brier offers us suggestions for Self-Care and Love practices to support us through our changes. These accessible ideas for our wellbeing can be used before, during and after our initiation. She encourages and activates us to tap into our own creativity and innate wisdom to discover what we need and want and how to manifest it.

There is a strong feeling of sisterhood and love within these pages - a message that we are in this together; that the changes we undergo at a mind, body, spirit and Soul level are the threads of magic we are being called to weave, not only individually, but collectively, in order to create a new tapestry of herstory.
