For the majority of my adulthood, my Moon Cycle was an inconvenience (despite being born with a last name that would suggest otherwise).

It was always getting in the way of my work ethic, it created unpredictable riffs in my relationship, it "kept me" from having sex and it ruined more yoga pants than I'd like to admit. It wasn't until I started working with Marya on the unique phases of each month (four phases to be precise) that I begin to realize the MAGIC of the cycle.

After tracking my cycle for one full year, I can honestly say that it has been one of the most life-giving practices I have adopted in my ten years.

It has contributed to every area of life :

When I host workshops (like this one), when I schedule dates, when I know to ask for a little more support, when not to text back that triggered friend immediately, when to work on my book or make videos, when to create a sacred temple for sex with my partner and so much more.

We are so fortunate to have this built-in system in our very bodies. It would be a crime not to use the wisdom of our wombs to deepen intimacy with all of life!

Many modern women working to keep up with the momentums and timelines established by the bottom line find themselves burnt out and unable to continue. This is for a good reason. It is not natural for a woman’s body, psyche, and emotional well-being to acclimate to the pace of modernity. There is rarely a moment to adhere to the deep intuitive subtle whispers of the womb, where she would be given the appropriate space to listen for what’s next.

I’ve seen it time and time again. I’ve lived it. I was miserable, and felt that there was something off in the pace of my world. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get past the feeling that I was living my life out of tune with the power and capacity I knew I was born with. It was maddening.

Then things changed. I became really clear that I needed to learn about my cycle and how to best optimize my life so that I could create from a place that allowed me to live more soulfully. It meant having to change some core beliefs about my value, and making some essential adjustments with what I expected of myself. Clearing old resentment, guilt, and being so damn hard on myself.

Slowly, over time, I began creating from a place that is WAY more tuned in to the natural timing that my body feels excited to keep pace with, and I have found myself to be more creative and fulfilled than ever in my life!

By slowing down, Ive been able to draw from a deeper well and way of being.

I believe that when a woman steps off the rat-race track, and reclaims the power and beauty of her NATURAL TIME, anything is possible.
