> Learn to understand and harmonize with the various energies of your monthly cycle, and live a life of greater flow and ease. <
As women, we have an amazing gift of our monthly menstrual cycle, or "moon time," as it's sometimes lovingly named. This amazing cycle, made up of four distinct phases, is what allows us to create life. Unfortunately, in much of our society we are socialized in various ways to either:
1) be ashamed of the menstrual cycle as something to hide, avoid talking about, or something that is "unclean" or referred to as "the curse" OR 2) ignore the menstrual cycle altogether; we view it as a nuisance that gets in the way of our day to day activities and go on not paying it any attention.
The above ways of viewing the menstrual cycle are not only false or incomplete (and often chauvinistic and offensive), but they actually deprive us of the amazing ability to harness the magic and energy of our personal cycle! This cycle holds so much power within it. When we learn to live in harmony with these energies, we can actually amplify and optimize our life for truly feeling our best!
Each of the four hormonal phases of our cycle encompasses a different energy. In some weeks, our body is setting us up for greater intuition and a time of rest; at other times we are most creative; at other times we are most easily able to communicate. Do you want to learn how to harness these energies to optimize your life?
Join us in circle this Thursday for this introductory workshop on optimizing your flow. Here's some of the information we will cover:
> the "magic" of both the menstrual cycle and menopause: intuition, insight, and ancient history of women's circles, red tents, and healing practices
> the four phases of the menstrual cycle and their corresponding energies (including ways for you to track this on your own)
> how these 4 energies also correspond to the phases of the moon (you will learn how to follow BOTH your personal cycle and the cycle of the moon. You may find that as you start to honor and pay attention to both, your period may sync with the moon's phases.)
> an opportunity for storytelling, sharing, and questions around both our monthly cycle (the period) and our female hormonal cycle throughout life (menarche, menstrual cycle, and menopause).
> self-care ritual and ceremony to honor our cycle (whatever phase we are in) and reclaim this part of our lives as beautiful.
This workshop is for women of all ages. If you are still bleeding, this will help you to truly change your life: you'll become conscious of the shifts in your own energy throughout the month and use these energies to create more "flow" in your life (pun intended). If you are no longer bleeding, this will offer a beautiful fresh perspective on menopause, on your lifetime of bleeding, and also give you information to share with friends, daughters, and other loved ones.
