Today is about learning to live in sync with your innate feminine cycle, rather than living how we have been taught—to shun her, ignore her, and even eradicate her. Leave feeling empowered about the possibilities with your vitality, mood, sexual health, fertility and what you can achieve when you live by the Women’s Secret Guidebook.
What to Expect
Cycles
A women’s hormones are different everyday, yet many of us expect ourselves to be the same everyday. It is a losing battle that leaves you physically and emotionally exhausted. There are actually 4 phases of your menstrual cycle. They reflect the 4 seasons of the planet, including the robust and exciting times of spring/summer and the times of slowness, turning inward and rest of fall/winter. The 4 phases also reflect the cycle of the moon and the deep and ancient symbolism found in its ever-changing face. You’ll discover how to connect with the symbolism of cycles for menstruation, the seasons and the moon. Unlocking the secret symbolism of theses cycles is your birthright, and it’s time you and your daughters and granddaughters had this information at your fingertips.
Behavior
You’ve probably been trying to do all the things at once, all the time. Just like I was. When I learned the purpose and wisdom in each of the phases of the menstrual cycle I was able to honor my innate self. Innate, because I couldn’t keep going against the natural rhythms of my hormones. You are going to be gifted with the wisdom I learned on my journey—what behaviors to change to live in sync with your cycle and how the fuck to do it. In the end, you’ll also get more done, amazingly. You can target social time, or when to be creative and start projects. You can clarify, when you know your cycle, when to do a hard workout, when to evaluate your life + home + relationships, and when manifesting is Next Level. When you know your cycle, you can avoid or create a pregnancy, know when you’re more likely to attract a mate and when you can Go Hard at work + play. Syncing your behaviors with your menstrual cycle ends feelings of overwhelm. It gives you space to see clearly what changes you want to make in your life. This process of knowing your cycle phases, and what each is supposed to do, creates a natural system for when to prioritize All The Things on your plate, including yourself.
Understand + Incorporate + Evolve
When I began incorporating living with my cycle, I had no idea what I was doing. And that is okay. I started with where I was at, my intuition, and of course a pile of books (duh!) This retreat experience is a guidebook of gentle changes to make over time, where you honor what changes you are capable of making right now. You won’t become a menstrual cycle maven overnight, and you shouldn’t have to! Absorb what I teach at the retreat. This includes the moon and season phases, but will also cover what vaginal steaming is, how to chart for and find out when you’re ovulating, resources and books on foods, exercise, the science of hormones, and more! If you feel called to follow the more science-based side of things—do that! Hormone awareness, cycle tracking and why PCOS or Endometriosis develop are super important! Maybe you feel called to the more spiritual side of things—following the moon phases, vaginal steaming or living with the seasons. The thing is, there is no wrong path to reclaiming your cycle. There are many combinations, and the right one for you is housed in your intuition.
