Keri Mangis

In a society that often treats menopause as a taboo or a loss, Keri Mangis offers a bold reframing: what if this transition was honored as a sacred rite of passage? In her “Pause Day” concept, Keri invites us to celebrate menopause not as an ending, but as the birth of elderhood—a time of deeper wisdom, freedom, and power.
Drawing from spiritual traditions, cultural analysis, and personal experience, Keri explores how “Pause Day” ceremonies could transform personal healing and societal structures alike. She dismantles myths, restores dignity to aging, and reconnects women to their rightful place as vital elders in their communities. Through ritual, story, and community, Keri helps audiences reimagine midlife as the most powerful chapter yet.
