The [M] Factor 2 Before the Pause

Film screening + interactive expert panel on perimenopause. Honest conversation, real insight, and shared learning.

Together Through the Transition!

Join us at Mount Royal University (Ross Glen Hall EC1050/EC1060) for a special screening of The [M] Factor 2: Before the Pause (Perimenopause), produced by Women in the Room Productions and Take Flight Productions.

This powerful documentary brings perimenopause into the open, illuminating the years before menopause when many women first begin noticing changes in their bodies, energy, sleep, mood, and sense of self.

But this is more than a screening.

This is a gathering!

After the film, stay for a heartfelt, collaborative conversation with the experts. After the Q&A drop by their tables to have a 1:1 conversation.

Together we'll explore:

• Understanding perimenopause and how this transition is unique for every body
• Protecting muscle, bone, and metabolic health
• Nourishing your body through intentional nutrition
• Supporting pelvic floor strength so intimacy and confidence remain part of your life
• Navigating this transition with grace, clarity, and self-compassion

Rather than a podium-style lecture, the format encourages dialogue and movement- with space for reflection, moderated audience questions woven throughout, and practical takeaways for home care. There will be movement, activity, and conversation. Dress for comfort and bring along a tennis ball!

This afternoon also marks the beginning of a Calgary-based initiative designed to bring women together regularly in a supportive, welcoming environment where we can better understand our bodies, access locally trusted resources, and move through the transitions of perimenopause and menopause - informed and empowered.

No more feeling shame.
No more navigating this alone.

Bring a girlfriend. Bring your partner.

Bring your curiosity.

Come as you are and leave feeling informed, connected, and confident about what comes next.
