Summary
This workshop explains the menstrual cycle as a seasonal rhythm and offers practical insights on working with the pros and cons of hormonal changes.
null
Half the world menstruates...yet the topic is shrouded in secrecy. Hardly anyone talks about it. Did you know the menstrual cycle is much more than just ovulation, cramps, periods and mood swings? It's a whole cycle with its ups and downs.
In this workshop, you will discover how the cycle truly works and learn to flow with your hormonal waves. Whether you menstruate yourself or want to support someone who does, this workshop by Kim Schomaker offers valuable insights for everyone.
The workshop lasts an hour and a half, so there will be plenty of time for your questions.
Dates & registration
Everyone is welcome!
These workshops are designed to be inclusive and welcome all students, regardless of their sex or gender. (Not all women menstruate, and not everyone who menstruates is a woman!)
Bloody Beautiful
Some days you feel amazing, thrilled, and happy to connect with others. Then two weeks later even the smallest event can cause tears or distress. These “highs and lows” are no fantasy. This is your body cycling through the different phases of your menstrual cycle. And if you are in the half of the population that doesn’t menstruate, do read on: you want to know this.
Seasons of the Hormonal Cycle
Did you know women go through different ‘seasons’ in every menstrual cycle? Your hormonal spring, summer, autumn and winter have superpowers and pitfalls. Some days will give you tremendous energy and gracefulness. Other days your hormones will make you think, reflect, and sort out which things you can let go of.
In this one-and-a-half-hour workshop, Kim Schomaker explains the key characteristics and signals to look out for, with plenty of time to ask her questions.
