Learning about my menstrual cycle and cyclical living was a game changer for me. First, as a young woman who was dealing with painful periods, then moving through premenstrual dysphoria (PMDD) in my late 30s as well as navigating menstrual migraine and neurodivergence along with my cycles. I’m not sure how functional I would be without understanding my cycles, without understanding when I need to rest, when I will be more sociable, when I can expect different aspects of my creativity to emerge. Cyclical living is at the very heart of how I organize my life.
Menstrual awareness is something that should be taught in every school, to every single girl, but it’s not. Books are the place where most of us get our information, usually as adults. My book Moon Time was the number one bestseller in menstruation for years on Amazon, showing just what a hunger there was for information back in the day when there was so little acknowledgement of this area of our lives in the mainstream. I am very proud of the part my work played in helping women reconnect to their cyclical selves. Nowadays, most girls and women know about tracking their cycles using an app and there are many many titles on cycle, awareness and periods. And my own book, Moon Time, is now in its third edition.
I first came across Alexandra Pope and Jane Bennett’s book, The Pill: are you sure it’s for you? when I was writing Moon Time 13 years ago now, as well as Alexandra’s work with what became Red School. I have been an avid supporter of Alexandra and Sjanie’s two books, Wild Power, and Wise Power and endorsed both. I also love their Menstruality podcast, which is hosted by the wonderful Sophie Jane Hardy. I was a guest on last year, I thoroughly recommend you take a listen.
If you’re looking for women who really know, live and are dedicated to cycle awareness, these are who you want to be learning from. So, if you’re wanting to embody your menstrual wisdom, understand your cycling body-mind more, then their new offering ‘Awaken Your Cycle Power’ may well be for you – a FREE event followed by a full six week course.
ABOUT THE COURSE
Cycle Power is a six week, live, online course to embody the power of the inner seasons of your menstrual cycle, guided by co-founders of Red School and authors of Wild Power, Alexandra Pope & Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer.
Our intention for this course is to dive deeply into each inner season of the menstrual cycle, so that you can:
- Get to know your own inner seasons more deeply (rather than the “textbook” cycle you think you should have)
- Learn how to awaken and wield the power of each inner season
- Understand how to practice Menstrual Cycle Awareness through each of the inner seasons (and Crossover Days) so you can learn to love and cooperate with your own true nature.
- Learn how to restore your own inner ecology, so you can soothe your nervous system, express your needs, hold your boundaries and be nourished (especially by the spiritual power of menstruation).
Whether you’re brand-new to the power of your menstrual cycle, you’ve been tracking your menstrual cycle for years, or you’re heading towards menopause, you’re warmly invited to join us for Cycle Power.
The course runs live from Friday 21st June – Thursday 1st August 2024
