In this fun and practical 4-week online course we explore the fascinating intersection of menstrual cycle awareness and creativity. You'll come to know your creative flow and work with it to optimise your personal, professional and fabulously creative life.
Self-expression & your menstrual cycle. Periods & creative potency. Are they connected? Would you like them to be?
If you've been paying attention to your menstrual cycle (or even if you haven't) it's likely you'll have noticed there are weeks you're focused, motivated and productive.
There are also some very delicious days in the month where you are tuned-in to the exact frequency of your inner Creatrix and you see and feel beauty everywhere.
And then there are those urgh days when you just want to throw it all in. You wonder what on earth you were thinking pursuing that crazy idea in the first place? Who are YOU to show up like that? (Hello self-doubt, criticism, resistance and fear.)
The truth is, you’re a multi-coloured bloody rainbow. In a busy world obsessed with 'the hustle' and production above all else, it’s completely normal if you find linear expectations on your creativity frustrating and draining.
Optimise offers an alternative: a cyclical approach to creativity. Far from being esoteric, this approach just makes a lot of sense: the creative process isn’t linear and neither is the rhythm of the female body. Let’s line them up. It’s time to dance in the full and diverse spectrum of who you really are!
“Art is when you hear a knocking from your soul and you answer.” — Terri Guillemets
In Optimise, we are invested in the kind of creativity that nourishes your soul & the kind that gets things ticked off your To Do list.
I believe that cycle-conscious creativity is a medicine that can bring us home to ourselves and sustainably propel us forward on a path that feels aligned, nourishing and true.
In Optimise you’ll learn how to use your cycle to build momentum on projects (let's get those ideas out of your notebook and into the world) and connect with the simple joy of making.
We'll use creative exercises, journaling, and meditation to remember that when we feel creative, we feel alive and you’ll learn how to use your cycle to birth what you want, into your life. The framework to channel that creative power? It is literally coded into your body.
Let's unlock it.
Here’s what you get:
Self-study video lessons on aligning your creative projects with your cycle (also available as audio and transcript).
Meditations for each menstrual and creative cycle phase to connect within.
Guided creative exercises to embody the teachings and invite you to play!
Printable Optimise Menstrual Map.
A Workbook for self-reflection and integration after each lesson.
