There's a common misconception that men are simply being asked to "hold space" for women moving through peri-menopause and menopause. But the truth runs deeper: the initiations a woman's body experiences are also initiations for the man beside her — thresholds where he, too, is invited to find himself. Author and teacher of the Diana Richardson's Making Love retreats, Janet McGeever met me on the podcast to explore this. The mutuality at the heart of today's conversation: is what it takes to move from patriarchal sxx to real lovemaking when a woman is in her menopause years. BIOJanet McGeever is co-author of ‘Tantric Sxx and Menopause - Practices for Spiritual and Sxxual Renewal’, a practicing psychotherapist since 1999, and TEDx speaker in Noosa, Australia. She is the presenter of the Making Love Retreat for couples, as created by her mentor and co-author, Diana Richardson, in Australia since 2012, and creator of Womantime Retreat, Ancient Wisdom for the Modern Day Woman. She has held particular interest in the effects of menopause on relationships and sxxuality. As a woman in her mid 60's she understands the complexities of navigating intimate relationships through motherhood and grand-motherhood.Facebook & Instagram @janetmcgeeverFree Giveaway www.janetmcgeever.com/sex-Midlife-and-BeyondTED Talk---Join the ⁠new Telegram group.⁠⁠ ⁠Training: Women's Somatic Sovereignty Certification⁠⁠https://thetigresspath.com/training/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎙️ send Dévashi a ⁠voice not⁠e⁠⁠⁠Take the patriarchal sex research survey ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with Dévashi on⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thetigresspathEPISODE CREDITSCreated by ⁠⁠⁠Dévashi ShaktiMusic by Wendy Rule🐆Dévashi Shakti is a leading pioneer of women's somatic nervous system wisdom, female embodiment, and is the empathic provocateur behind the Beyond P.S.
