Writing the Menopause/ Peri-menopause

We will use poetry/ group writing/ selected readings to explore our feelings and experiences of this stage in our lives. We will create poetry and other creative writing to celebrate, document and reflect on our personal experiences and societies’ attitudes to age and ageing.
