1. •Are you menopausal or peri-menopausal and want to find a healthy way to relate to this stage of life?
   

2. •Have you been inundated with horror stories about menopause, but feel there must be something more?
   

3. •Do you ever wish you could share this time in your life with other amazing women in a meaningful way?
   

We hear you!  That’s why we’ve created the Hot Flash Mob Movement, a worldwide, synchronized dance flash mob movement held to honor peri-menopausal and menopausal women everywhere. This movement was the brainchild of certified fitness professional, Jeanette DePatie (AKA The Fat Chick) and menopause expert Dr. Eve Agee.

Frustrated by the negative and fear-mongering approach to menopause in our society we asked this question:

“What if instead of fearing menopause, we threw a great big party to celebrate it?”

So often, menopause is seen as a time to be dreaded rather than enjoyed. Peri-menopause and menopause certainly can be difficult transitions for women, but they don’t have to be.  In many traditional cultures, women do not have the symptoms and problems that are so typical in the West. In fact, menopause is anticipated as a time of deep wisdom, insight and rich creativity in a woman’s life. In these societies, menopause is regarded as a time for women to get together to support and share with one other.

In celebration of both this amazing time in women’s lives as well as the strength women derive from being together, we dreamed up the notion of The Hot Flash Mob Movement, a series of spontaneous, hot, group dance experiences allowing women from around the world to get together, have a big laugh and shake their collective groove things.  The first annual Hot Flash Mobs will be held at various locations throughout the world in the month of September in honor of Menopause Awareness Month.  It is open to men and women of all shapes, sizes, ages, backgrounds and abilities.  All are invited to celebrate the amazing beauty, grace, and undeniable power of peri-menopausal and menopausal women everywhere.
