Workshop Proposal
I have noticed that more & more of my fellow "women in tech" are aging into the life-phase known as "menopause". In this workshop, I want to have a group discussion to explore challenges & joys of menopause. I'd like us to share tips&tricks, and collectively generate knowledge, that will be primarily useful to us - but might result in some resources to publish, too. Although my personal experience is as a cis-woman, I would specifically like to invite trans-gender-hackers to share the experiences of DIY hormonal therapies. I do not want to "teach" : my role is to be a workshop facilitator & to make it possible to pluck the berries of our collective creativity.

Quotes
"Imagine a world in which menopause is recognized as a healthy, organic step in a woman’s evolutionary journey. Where each woman willingly accepts the necessary challenge of menopause, knowing that post-menopause, she’ll step into the vital and powerful role of serving her community and the world. Imagine a world where she knows she’ll be profoundly met and respected as a smart, wise, authoritative and beautiful older woman. It’s time for us to recognise the wisdom that our elders carry and re-frame the menopausal phase of a woman’s life."
