Over dit evenement
Dear women,
I invite you to join me for an evening of coming together as women, connecting to our menstrual cycles.
Most of us have these monthly cycles, bringing different energies each week. Yet we often go through life disconnected from this, or trying to fight against it. Our societies and systems don’t really support these inner cycles. Many of us were taught to view our cycles as an inconvenience, our periods as something to be hidden. There can be a deep sense of dirtiness or shame around this part of being a woman. And as a result, it’s a part that has been quite forgotten.
But our cycles are everything. It is the same force that brings life. Our cycles mirror the cycles of nature itself. There’s a time for rest, for release, and a time to bloom.
I believe that connecting with our menstrual cycles is one of the simplest ways for a woman to connect with herself, and with nature, and a way to create and act more sustainably. In a way that respects the female rhythm. In a society that is often very rational and driven by grind culture, I believe this is even revolutionary.
In this edition of the Cycle Circle, we turn toward the phase that is perhaps the least understood and the most misunderstood. The luteal phase: the inner autumn, the premenstruum.
How do you experience your luteal phase, your inner autumn?
Many women experience this as their most challenging time of the month.
There are more emotions, more irritation.
A time of questioning things, of tension.
A time of more rage. A stronger inner critic.
A time when we often don’t quite feel like ourselves.
We often struggle with and dismiss this time of the month, but what if, in this phase of the cycle, we are given access to different parts of ourselves? More access to our emotions, to the pain we carry, our subconscious. In order to learn from and transform it. What if it's a time for editing, reflection, and greater self-care?
What if we can see that this phase is actually a time of badass energy, of truth speaking, of power. A time with a lot of teachings.
The intention of this gathering is to explore this phase deeply. To share about how we experience it, and to discover more of the gifts within it. And to learn how to navigate through it with more love, ease, and self-acceptance.

About me:
I am a counsellor working with women in emotional work, in unlearning patterns of self-suppression and swallowing. And a menstrual cycle coach in the making!
Over the last many years, I have immersed myself in many studies, outside and within myself. My deepest passion is supporting women in connecting to and embracing their true nature, their sensitivities, intuition, and powerful voices.
For my own process, understanding my menstrual cycle has been such a key, my way of letting go of conditioning and learning to tune into my own inner voice and wisdom. This circle comes from that place.
