Perimenopause: WTAF?!
This is not your grandmother’s book club. Expect this group, like the perimenopausal journey itself, to be very real, raw, and irreverent. You will probably hear the word “fuck” a lot. Expect lots of laughter and probably some tears. We’re here for it all.
Read the book… or don’t! While each month’s book will provide a starting point for discussion, the primary goal is to gather together, explore our vast spectrum of experience through open, non-judgmental conversation, learn from & with one another, and walk away with more insight, a few more skills, and lot of self-compassion & self-reclamation.

A gentle, inclusive space to share, to listen, to be. All grief is welcome.
Many of us are carrying a heavy, layered grief - from personal loss to collective fear, exhaustion, and uncertainty about the future. Grieving in community, within a queer-specific space, helps create safety, understanding, and belonging. It allows grief to be shared without explanation or judgment, reminds us we are not alone, and transforms isolation into collective care and resilience when it is needed most.
