Synopsis

This study examined the relationship between women?s sexual and spiritual development. Thirteen post-menopausal women were interviewed using qualitative and creative expression methods. Creative expression methods included a timeline of the participants? self-determined salient experiences of sexual-spiritual development and collages depicting participants? view of their sexual-spiritual self. Both the timeline and collage were used for individual interviews.Two test measures, the Short Index of Self-Actualization and the Spiritual Perspectives Scale, were used to assess participants individually and as a group. Results of both tests showed that this group is high in levels of self-actualization and spirituality as measured by the instruments. For some of the participants menopause signaled the beginning of their conscious sexual-spiritual journey.
