The World Within Women: the femenome guide to your menstrual cycle
Within every woman who has ever lived, hidden in plain sight in the last place we would think to look for it, lies a vast and beautiful untapped resource - a design whose breath-taking elegance and sophistication has not yet occurred to us. In naming women's four-m sequence of menarche, menstrual cycle years, menopause and mature life as a single entity going far beyond its fertility function, the femenome®model makes visible, speakable, usable and meaningful the potent feminine hormonal energies that have too long been mysterious and even disturbing to us.
The World Within Women is a long-awaited voice speaking new language into old silence, catalysing knowledge into contrived ignorance, and profound healing into an ancient wound in the female psyche. Its simple yet revolutionary insights offer a radically empowering new view of the menstrual cycle, and the perfect and purposeful holographic matrix of which it is a part. Here is a clarion call to a new kind of feminism - one that bestows its own equality, not by complying with the accustomed demand to live as if our menstrual cycles do not affect us, but by knowing as we have never known before how powerfully and positively they do.

Your Fenomenal Menopause: the femenome guide to your midlife alchemy
Throughout the ages menopause has been portrayed as an array of daunting disorders to be managed and remediated. The misguided mission of eliminating these "symptoms" from women's experience without ever understanding them has dispossessed us of their true purpose and potency.
Women are made to an awesomely beautiful but as yet unrecognised psycho-spiritual design called the femenome®, in which our baffling hormonal mysteries make perfect sense. This book reframes the strange and intense phenomena of menopause as uniquely feminine fenomena, revealing them as architects of an alchemy and catalysts of a consciousness that are nothing less than a paradigm revolution.
Here is knowledge that demands a radical re-set of the terms of feminism. We have too long acquiesced in science that purports to help women by making our menopause disappear. It's time n ow for women to help science by making menopause reappear at last in the redemptive light of its own fenomenal intelligence.
