Menopause Week | Wrap up 🌹

That`s a wrap, what a beautiful week we had of open, raw and honest conversations from some really inspirational women in the holistic world.

We touched on so many interesting subjects, shared some facts and fictions about the `Pause` we spoke about some Homeopathy advice, Yoga Benefits, HRT, Lifestyle tips, Nutrition, even Menopause Doulas!!

The common denominator in all the conversations was that this is a time we should be educated about as early in life as possible, it is an inevitable stage / natural rite of passage that needs to be acknowledged by those around us, family, workplace anywhere but also a milestone that should be celebrated.

Women change in so many ways over a lifetime, our bodies, beautiful creatrix`s should we choose.

If you feel called to learn more, I suggest grabbing a cacao and going back over the lives to learn a little about loving yourself a little more during this time and with deep compassion. You can also check out the story high lights & website for some awesome resources 🌹

Thank you for the beautiful art and poetry submissions and for all our beautiful guests time and pearls of wisdom, I feel very lucky to be learning from such inspirational women and I will be sharing this with my children to share with theirs.

Dont forget to enter the Amazing competition we have happening until Friday! We are so Grateful to our amazing collobarators on this one.

Aho 🌹
Siobhán & all at the team.

If you feel to support Saoró, please consider purchasing our unique Cacao 🌹 Our shop is always open..

To My Last Period - Lucille Clifton

well, girl, goodbye,
after thirty-eight years.
thirty-eight years and you
never arrived
splendid in your red dress
without trouble for me
somewhere, somehow.

now it is done,
and I feel just like
the grandmothers who,
after the hussy has gone,
sit holding her photograph
and sighing, “wasn’t she
beautiful? wasn’t she beautiful?”

**new poem on Saoró**

Read an excerpt below from the new poem “Peri Menopause” by Siân Williams @satnamtherapy as part of our Saoró Red Tent series…

Read the full poem here: https://saoro.org/2024/10/18/peri-menopause-a-poem/

And one day it shifted and changed,
My body once a known terrain, now felt strange.
The map I had trusted, no longer so clear,
As whispers of time brushed against my ear. 

Unknown and unexplored, these feelings took hold,
A tale of transition, a story untold.
Peri-menopause knocking with quiet insistence,
Inviting me gently to offer resistance. 

Like leaves in the autumn, my body let go,
Of rhythms I once knew, now gone with the flow.
Hot flashes like fire, moods up and then down,
Each wave like a crown that I’d wear without frown. 

The dance of my hormones, a waltz unpredictable,
Once certain, now swirling, a force undeniable.
I wept, then I laughed, then stood still in between,
As I wandered through phases no longer pristine. 

My mind, once so sharp, played tricks of its own,
Forgetting the details of places I’d known.
But in this unraveling, a gift was bestowed,
The wisdom of letting go, letting life flow. 

The sleepless nights felt like a thief in the dark,
Stealing my rest, yet igniting a spark.
In the quiet of dawn, I found new insight,
A deep inner knowing, a different kind of light. 

My body, though foreign, revealed its own grace,
In the lines and the curves, I began to find space.
The softness, the changes, the beauty in years,
Released from my grasping, released from my fears. 

I learned to adapt, to breathe and to trust,
That in these transformations, evolve we must.
For peri-menopause, though rocky and strange,
Was a gateway to power, a season of change. 

Through each ebb and flow, I grew more aware,
Of the cycles of life, the love in the air.
And though unfamiliar, this journey I faced,
I found strength in the mystery, and beauty embraced

**from the archives on Saoró**

As part of our Saoró Red Tent series, it’s time to revisit the Saoró archives & Deirdre’s poem “The Third Queen”

My bleeds are stuttering now,
Clapping out their own rhythm
More gaps than notes…
Still mysterious to that part of me 
That loves to hold the bow
And count the arrows

But my dandelion body knows the time
Each falling flying seed 
Drifts me towards a different womb
Emptiness than before 

In this space between two stories
It’s time to lie fallow again
To hold my body in the dark
Just as I hold my breath

Shapeless futures pool in front
Squall and sediment behind
I am baby held in cradle
I am mother waiting
Growing someone in a different way

Let me be now
My own wide and slow river
That knows it’s flow
Without the pushing

I could burn in the flame
Of the third queen 
Be diminished to smeared ash
On a petrified creature 

Or rise
Transformed from beak to tail
And cleared of all disguises
Glowing from the fire within
