Feminine Cycles- with Janine Maila

What does it mean to be a woman? Are we defined by our anatomy and physiology? Are we defined by the way we dress or the roles we play (mother, daughter, entrepreneur or partner) ? How do we relate to the feminine principle – the yin, passive, lunar aspect of life?  How do we relate to our womb and to our menstrual cycle?

Feminine cycles is a space to explore these questions through the wisdom of the body.

Feminine cycles invites you to:

-Discover the four phases of the menstrual cycle and the archetypes (Maiden, Mother, Wild Woman, Crone) that are associated to each one, understanding how they flow into each other and throughout our lives.

-Explore and dialogue with these archetypes through visualization, journaling, and hatha/yin yoga practice

– Understand the physiology of our cycles (through occidental and traditional chinese medicine perspectives)

-Develop an ability to track and support our cycle’s organic movements

-Dive into deeper relating with our womb and connection to our inner wisdom

 

Feminine cycles offers:

-Tools to support ourselves during the different phases of our cycles (acupressure points, lifestyle/dietary suggestions, meditations and yoga poses)

– Readings to invite continued reflection on the themes we will be exploring

– A safe space to connect to ourselves and other women

– An invitation to women’s empowerment through self-discovery and radical self-acceptance!
