  course outline and Dates

Phase 1: Spring ~ Ground and Nourish

Ground in the foundations of the cycle. From hormones to seasons, body to spirit, learn the essential tools and tips of the menstrual cycle you never received and begin tracking your own unique rhythm to help support your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.

Culminate the season gathering with the community for an outdoor celebration and embodied, connected learning from spring. Embody the seasons learnings and revelations in group activities in the wilderness, including exploration through art, authentic movement, and more, as well as a short guided solo outdoor experience and processing.

• Feb. 25th, March 4th, 11th, 18th (WEdnesdays, Zoom), 6-7:30pm PST. & Day Long (in person): March 21st, ~10am-6pm**

Phase 2: Summer ~ The Stories We Tell

With solid foundations in the fundamentals of the menstrual cycle, explore in depth the stories you tell about the cycle, from your personal to familial, to cultural and collective. How do these stories show up in your body and cycle each month? How do they show up in the conflicts you experience? The places you get stuck? The innermost yearnings of your soul? Deepen in your inner knowing, your cyclical literacy, your capacity to hold many states and choose your own stories, and ultimately your own life.

End this season with a full and glorious celebration of summer’s peak, both in our bodies and in the world outside of. Indulge seasonal bounty and communal connection as well as internal reflection in a deepened solo wilderness meditation.

• May 27th, June 3rd, 10th, 17th, 6-7:30pm PST (wednesdays, Zoom). & Day Long (in person): June 20th ~10am-6pm**

Phase 3: Fall ~ Embracing Our many parts

With half a year of guided and witnessed conscious cycling underway, dive deeper into your soul and cycle and invite grace, power and inner leadership into your rhythmic life through developing deep inner knowing and relationship with the many parts that emerge throughout your cycle. Deepen into your cycle as a guide and opportunity for healing, self-love, health and connection - and expand your awareness of your deep inner goodness and the wisdom of the cyclical life. Learn to trust the signals of your body through nuance, discernment, grounding and deep investment in yourself as investment in the good of all.

For the fall equinox, gather in an increasingly intimate community for witnessing, sharing and embodying the lessons of the season as well as a longer solo wilderness immersion (the longest of the year) where you will dig into the reflections nature has for your cycle and soul. As we deepen into intuitive knowing, learn to converse not only with your body as a guide but also with nature and the rhythms of life as guide.

• Aug. 26th, Sept. 2nd, 9th, 16th, 6-7:30pm PST (wednesdays, Zoom). & Day Long (in person): Sept. 19th 10am-6pm**

Phase 4: Winter ~ deepening intuition and Soul Cycling

As the year draws to an end, slow down and deepen into the truth held in your blood and bones. Learn to live your cycle as a daily exchange with the soul and sacred, while still remaining grounded in physical reality. Honor the ebb and flow, pleasure and pain, truth and contradiction with nuance, heart, courage and reverence. Learn to see the cycles of your body in every layer of life outside of you as well as interwoven into the webs of the communities you build, and how to walk forward in life held within this depth, complexity and community.

What does it feel like to feel, literally in every cell of your being, the pulse of life force within you? What does it feel like to experience this in the presence of others, also feeling this? What is it like to walk down the road and truly feel the aliveness and interconnectedness of everything around you? These are the questions we will be embodying at this stage of the year.

Winter solstice we will gather for a communal ceremony to honor the year we have spent together and share the lessons we’ve learned. Most likely we will find hot water to hold us in the wild while we take in the darkness around us. With full presence, we will honor all parts of ourselves, our cycles, and life. The love and celebration, the anger and rage, the pleasure and wild nature, the heartbreak and grief, the confusion, the connection, the isolation. How has your capacity to be with what is grown? How has your cycle evolved in ways you could have never imagined? What has transformed? What is still transforming?

• Nov. 11th, 18th (break for thanksgiving), Dec. 2nd, 9th, 6-7:30pm PST (Wednesdays, Zoom). & Day Long (in person): Dec. 12th 10am-6pm**

  Dive Deeper: In peron, Outdoor Immersions celebrations

  What to expect

  Our full day, outdoor intensives are our days to connect with the group, drop more deeply into our bodies, share and reflect our cyclical learnings, and learn to converse and connect with nature and the living world around us. These are, intimate, sacred days where we consciously choose to disconnect from the business of everyday life, and practice returning to our truest selves.

    • Each outdoor immersion day will include a wilderness solo/rites of passage experience. Each season will have a different focus and theme, but you can expect to participate in some group ceremony and celebration, and time alone in the wilderness.
