An alternative and unique perspective on our understanding of menopause.
This groundbreaking book offers a response to the call of women to listen deeply to the wisdom of their bodies as they go through the change and stages of peri-menopause and menopause.
In modern times, even with the increased awareness of recent years, the overriding response is management and relief of symptoms. However, in this book Reva provides a revolutionary approach to menopause, perceiving this transition as a rite of passage and alchemical process.
Through her own experience Reva acts as a guide in allowing women to connect with their bodies and awareness though contemplation, as well as suggesting practices to support a deepening of women's exploration of menopause, including yoga, meditation and ritual.
Within these pages, Reva will provide women with a sense of trust, and wider perspective as they discover more about their bodies, their perceptions, learning from, rather than fearing this time of change.

Reva writes from a place of great honesty and wisdom in a voice that needs to be heard.
She draws on her own experience and wisdom and that of many wisdom traditions to provide both a readable and practical book on the menopause.
As women we need to draw on this openness about the menopause. It is definitely a book which I wish I had had 10 years ago.
