Hello dear women
It has been a long time since I’ve written to you, so a very warm welcome to everyone who has joined our mailing list recently. In these times of upheaval and change, I pray you are all finding sources of serenity and sanity, beauty and buoyancy, grace and generosity to keep life lovely for you. A genuine and deeply grounded alternative consciousness has never been more needed in our world, so let’s take every opportunity we can to nourish and cherish all things feminine. Especially ourselves!!
I have a few offerings to tell you about …

Webinar and Online Course Coming Very Soon
I am happy to have the opportunity to offer a free webinar, followed by a 5 week online course, through Wise Women of the World, a teaching platform based in France. The Webinar is early in the morning of 23rd April (NZ time), but fortunately for us Kiwis, you can register to receive a recording of it to watch at your leisure. We will send out the material and registration info for this in a separate email, or you can just go straight to this link:
Meanwhile, here’s the intro for the webinar – it will be fun. Do join us:
Essential but endangered knowledge has often been safeguarded by encoding within stories and legends. The tale of Sleeping Beauty is not just a romantic story – it’s a wake-up call for us all.
Something lies sleeping inside every girl and woman on this planet – something precious and powerful beyond belief, yet at the same time ordinary and familiar to all of us. Something that affects us on a daily basis, yet is so unrecognised as to not even have a name. Something that can revolutionise our sense of ourselves and the wellbeing of the world if we are willing to wake up to it.
5000 years of patriarchy has made us all into sleeping beauties. This webinar will introduce a fresh and exhilarating view of the story. What put us to sleep in the first place, and how does it keep us asleep in our own times? What is the exquisite and astonishing thing that is sleeping within us? And how can we awaken into its life-changing and world-changing potential?

New Book Coming Soon
The long-promised and too-long-awaited second book, full of exciting and delicious knowledge about Menopause in the femenome is almost here. It’s currently being edited, and you will soon (I dearly hope) get word of its arrival. Its name is (probably) “Your Fenomenal Menopause: the femenome guide to your midlife alchemy”, and it may come out looking something like this. I am so very eagerly looking forward to launching it and sharing it with you all, so stay tuned for news.
Meanwhile, don’t forget the Menstrual Cycles book - The World Within Women - is still available, a lovely gift for friends or daughters. You can get it in print or e-book formats from my website by clicking HERE or at various other outlets. You may also like to check whether your local library has a copy, and if not, ask them to get one. That way more women can find it and discover what it holds for them.

And finally ...
I recently, and very serendipitously, came upon a most wonderful book. It’s title, “The Mistress of Longing” caught my eye very easily, because I had been writing about mature feminine Desire in my book on Menopause, and contemplating very deeply the energetic nature and role of desire in our lives. Doors fell open, one after another, and I very quickly became better acquainted with the author and her teachings, a gift for which I will always be happily grateful. Do look her up if you feel drawn to – Wendy Havlir Cherry.
For the purposes of this short newsletter, I would just like to share a tiny quote… like many of Wendy’s sentences, it is sweetly simple, yet profound and powerful: (my emphasis)
“Our longing is a dynamic energy as rich and necessary as breathing”.
Wow! How much do you listen to, allow, cultivate your longing? How much do you let it matter? How far do you dare to follow it?
Imagine a world where women fully trust, and fearlessly act upon their deepest longings!
Where longings are recognised as guides to all our decisions, priorities and policies!
The femenome needs us to become conscious and accomplished longers.
Together in this energy, we change the world.
Stay tuned for our coming emails about the online webinar and course!
With love to you all for now
