This is not normal, this is new normal

It’s raining. A lot. It feels like every other day is a new kind of weather warning. This is climate change in Kentucky. And this is the starting point of today’s draft.

Gusty winds could damage trees and power lines.)soaked in the rain of a changed climate -- she lurches forth screaming warnings (so many warnings) directly into human ears. We turn our heads, tilt our chins and wonder -- Did I hear something? Is someone there? We stir the air with numbed fingers, thinking this body is separate from the body of the earth, something is wrong with sensation and sowe must pull back from it and livein the climate-controlled cave of the brain.

Crone School is a space for perimenopausal women (or future perimenopausal, or full-on menopausal women) where we can explore all the weirdness of our second puberty. We will settle into the business of becoming badass Crones who don't give a f*ck for the conventional. Each meeting will feature study, support, and movement -- something for us to read and talk about, a space to share our needs/concerns/ideas, and a bit of moving our bodies with love and attention.

I am thrilled to be hosting this workshop with Malik T, Founder and Executive Director of Hip Circle Empowerment Center.

The workshop starts April 24, and is available on a Pay What You Can (PWYC) basis as part of Hip Circle’s commitment to removing barriers for women and girls.
