Menopausal zest

Join Associate Professor Pilar Rojas Gaviria at The Exchange for a warm and inspiring tea and talk, exploring menopause through a social lens.

Pilar challenges the usual narrative of medical decline, highlighting "zest" – the energy, creativity, and empowerment that can flourish during this time.

"The most powerful force in the world is a menopausal woman with zest." - Margaret Mead, 1950

Afterwards, enjoy a creative workshop inspired by our theme, guided by artist Sadie Barnett.
