the MAGA CONVERSATION, THE recordings
In these conversations we talk about topics relevant to all things Menopause and the journey that every woman/human with a womb goes through at some stage in her life.
​
The Maga is the woman that is emerging in the mid forties often. The fertile years are coming to an end and her fokus starts to shift towards what else apart from mothering she's here for. The Rite of Passage into Menopause takes her even deeper into evaluating her life so far and surrendering to what her soul desires for her Second Spring.
​
The image of the menopausal, older woman in our society is very dear to my heart. I see how much the fear of aging and the celebration of youth in our society/media is stressing and crippling a lot of women approaching this transition.
​
There’s fear about entering this next phase and valuing maturity, wisdom
and inner beauty over the outer appearance.
​
My desire is to help shift this image of the aging woman,
I want to support women in their transitioning and I want to talk, share, shout about the beauty,
the wisdom and the power of the Maga and the Crone.
​
Please have a look at the conversations we've already had and listen in!
​
I like to emphasize that this conversations are relevant to everybody, all gender, all ages. There is so much wisdom, love and experience that is available from the Magas and the Crones, that is really missing in the fabric of our society.

Conversation with Nitya Longstrom
Nitya is a intimacy couch for men, supporting them to find into a more fulfilling intimate life.
​
I invited Nitya into a conversation to find out about the male experience when woman starts to be de-satisfied with the status quo of the sexual relating in the couple or while dating.
​
In my work with women I find that their erotic desire is often not being met beyond the high energy initiatory phase of relating or the high desirous ovulation moment of their cycle in ‘conventional’ male orientated sex practices.
During the transition into menopause the erotic desire changes even more for most women.
​
Nitya shares about the difficulties and stresses that men are experiencing and how she supports them into new ways of approaching a more holistic erotic life.
​
​
We talk about slowing down, bringing in the heart more consciously, the awkward moments when trying out new ways, allowing for playfulness and experimentation to become more attuned to one’s authentic, unique, erotic desire and how to share that in intimate relating with another.
This conversation is focused at first on the relating between man and woman but in second half we discuss the importance about dating oneself, meeting oneself in the erotic. Here are some pearls that are relevant for intimate meetings between two humans of any sexual orientation and gender.
