The Monthly Pause

A sister circle for women navigating menopause, midlife & everything in between.

Come as you are. Leave feeling a little lighter.

A sister circle for women navigating menopause, midlife & everything in between.

Sometimes, you don't need another workshop, another expert telling you what to do, or another list of things you should be doing differently.

​

Sometimes, you just need to be around women who understand.

​

Welcome to The Monthly Pause.

A warm, welcoming monthly gathering where we come together to talk, listen, laugh, share and support one another through the changing seasons of womanhood.

​

Held in the cosy BearSoul tent, we'll sit together in circle, enjoy a cuppa and create space for the conversations that don't always happen in everyday life.

​

There are no set topics, no presentations and no expectations.

​

We might talk about perimenopause, menopause, sleep, relationships, confidence, changing bodies, ageing, family, work or simply how we're feeling right now.

​

Some conversations may be light-hearted. Others may be more personal. All are welcome

​

This is your space too.

Gemma and Zanny will gently hold the circle, offering conversation prompts, shared knowledge and moments of relaxation where they feel right.

​

There's no pressure to speak, share personal experiences or attend every month.

​

Come to talk. Come to listen. Come to connect.
