A 90-MINUTE INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP WITH KELI DAILEY

MenoPower Writing Hour: A Menopause-Themed Generative Writing Workshop 

FRIDAY, AUG 21ST AT 1:30 ET

"I feel so much less alone." — Christine
"This gives hope for what's on the other side of the mountain." — Sara
"The writing prompts were perfect portals to my expressive need." — Hilary
"These women threw down some words." — Jen

These are some of the things that MenoPower Writing Hour participants have said about our generative writing workshops for the perimenopausal, menopausal, and postmenopausal. Where for 90 minutes we laugh, write from prompts, encounter menopause-themed poetry and essays, and share our work (if we’re in the mood).

MenoPower Writing Hour is a live, online writing workshop exploring menopause, aging, and health through storytelling. Hosted by journalist, comedian, and educator Keli Dailey.

This Aug. 21 online menopause writing workshop, organized by the Pause, offers tools to reflect, share, and feel more empowered. The MenoPower Writing Hour is open to anyone navigating, reflecting on, or curious about the menopause transition— on any side of the estrogen line.

I WANT IN!

What you'll leave with:

  • New pages (or new ideas for pages) inspired by several guided writing prompts.
  • Fresh perspectives on your own menopause story.
  • A deeper connection to your voice, creativity, and lived experience.
  • A community of people who understand that menopause is more than a medical event—it’s a milestone worth exploring.

The Pause:

A creative community for midlife women

The Pause is a creative community for midlife women who feel something shifting and want a place to reconnect with their creative spark. You might be rethinking your work, your relationships, your writing, or even who you are in this season. You might be in the process of outgrowing old systems that aren't working anymore, or shedding a skin.  

Here, you will find women who are thoughtful, curious, and willing to connect on a deep level. Women who are building new things. Women who are letting go of old things. Women who are simply trying to listen to their own voices again and to figure out what stories they really want to tell. If you are craving connection, inspiration, and steady forward movement in a supportive community, you are welcome here.
