Benita will be in conversation with local jounalist Dellam Vreeland, they will be talking about her new book Seen Again: Light on Matrescence.
Seen Again is a modern companion through matrescence, the profound transition of becoming a mother.
Matrescence is a biological, psychological, emotional, social and spiritual transformation that can leave mothers without the language or support to make sense of who they are. Many feel disconnected or invisible, wondering who am they are now? Is it normal to feel this way?
Blending intimate memoir, eighteen real-life stories and years of coaching into a compassionate framework, Benita Bensch explores the inner landscape and seismic shift of matrescence with unflinching honesty. If you have ever felt lost, remember: you are not broken, you are evolving. This is an invitation to reimagine your next season of life, free of shoulds.
Seen Again: Light on Matrescence is a return to the inner campfire, where the dark is honoured, the light is reclaimed, and your true self is waiting to be seen again.
