Should transformative process of menopause be medicated and treated in order to be diluted? In her talk, Dr. Kay Corpus discusses the true power of menopause, which goes beyond the pain that women experience and the medication given to them. Using spiritual findings and indigenous history, Dr. Corpus calls upon women to view the transformation as the amplification of natural wisdom from a woman’s soul, the completion of one’s absolute self, and the opportunity to acknowledge past pain to grow into something extraordinary.
