At a Glance

Seasonal, day-long workshop
Where:
TBA
Who:
9-12 women curious about cyclical living,
Led by the LYN Ladies
Notes:
Registration required
A guided experience for women to explore their inner landscape and
develop a compassionate relationship with themselves
This is designed to meet you where you are within the season we're in, to gently introduce the practice of living cyclically
We'll gather to honor the elemental rhythm of that particular season:
Spring = Air
Summer = Fire
Fall = Water
Winter = Earth
The intention: to learn how to live more closely with the rhythm of nature in a world that asks us to be linear.
The element is the guide.
The menstrual cycle the map.
The season the landscape.
With the elements as our guide, we'll explore each season through movement, meditation, and embodied practice
Meet HER
Each workshop will include:
dance or yoga,
guided meditation,
a nourishing meal
a sound healing and voice activation, or breathwork session
and a circle to close out the day
We'll receive insights into how to meet our inner seasons in supportive and aligned ways.
We'll learn how others experience different phases of their cycle, like how they work with the energies that arise and how they support themselves through challenges, resistance, or imbalance.
In a world that prioritizes forward momentum and constant output, Meet HER invites us to return to the intelligence of our bodies and harness the ebb and flow inherent within our nature.
"The cycle teaches us how to be with change...how to keep moving with what's moving us."
-Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer from the Red School
NOTE: You do not need to be in your menstruating years to explore living in harmony with the cyclical nature of life!
Whether you're a woman who has a regular or irregular menstrual cycle, if you are beginning to shift into a season of life where the menstrual cycle is nearing its end, or if you are a woman who no longer has a menstrual cycle, you are invited to join us.
Curiosity is the only requirement here.
There are times to push, and there are times to rest. There are times to be social, and there are times to retreat into our metaphorical caves. Just like the sun rises and sets, and the moonlight builds and diminishes, our energy naturally rises and falls, waxing and waning throughout the month, too.
Meet HER helps us to learn to stop going against our nature and to follow the rhythm that life moves in - in a spiraling circle, continually beginning and ending.
When we learn to live in tune with our ever-changing rhythm, we feel less "crazy" and more empowered in our choices. We begin to ride the wave of our creative inspirations, relish in our emphatic 'yes', honor our sacred 'no', and become less inclined to dishonor and override ourselves when something must go or come to an end.
We begin to embrace change and honor our timing.
Moving with Our Nature
HER - Air
Season of Spring and the Cardinal Direction of East
To adequately meet the element of Air in Spring, we'll ground ourselves with gentle yet strong movement before meditation. We'll be guided through a vocal activation so that we may coherently speak our heart's desires and eloquently take risks.
An intentional meal will be offered to support this season, and we'll close the workshop with a circle to share what stayed with us through our exploration.
For some, the entry into inner spring can be glorious, and for others, the newness of the season can bring about anxiety - like the vulnerability of a new sapling that has just burst from the dark ground.
Air allows for inspiration to flit through our being. It can be like a new morning's sun casting light on creations and joys that can be born in the future. Spring is our inhale and our seeds of potential stirring to life.
HER - Fire
Fire gives us the juice and drive to go after our desires. It's our passion in motion, confidence embodied, and our power backed by our own spine.
Season of Summer and the Cardinal Direction of South
For many, summer can be a fun, social, and groovy time. Joyfully being with others, supporting others like the super-women we are, and feeling the fullness of what we bring to the table can be easy to access during this inner season. But what happens when our fires are too weak to sustain our dreams? What happens when our fires are continually fed with other people's logs of expectations? Overwhelm. Breakdown. Burnout.
This container begins with breathwork to help tap into our inner fire. To contain it or to fan it. We'll move into dancing to embrace our fire - to meet it with aliveness and awareness. May what rises during this session help to empower us in our chosen steps forward.
HER - Water
For many, the shift into inner fall can be disorienting, painful, and vulnerable. The capacity to meet everyone's needs and the buffer that seems easy to access in the first half of the cycle diminish, and with that, irritation and reaction can rise easily.
Season of Fall and the Cardinal Direction of West
Water helps us to release. To release what is stagnant within us and to release unrealistic expectations of ourselves. Fall is the season of our exhale, where we no longer need to hold everything together or hold things in.
In this season, we'll work with the power of our truth through movement, we'll unmask our honest desires with meditation, and we'll learn to stand strong within our vibrations by gently composting what is no longer ours to carry - including unhelpful stories.
HER - Earth
Earth is where we root ourselves before beginning the cycle all over again. It's where we're invited to press pause, to rest, to hibernate, and to retreat.
Season of Winter and the Cardinal Direction of North
Our ancestors knew well the importance of 'shifting down' along with the shorter days in the winter months, and making war and labor kapu (forbidden) in times of the wet season (ho'oilo). How can we carve out time for ourselves to rest, integrate, and replenish before meeting the dawn of a new day, week, month, or venture?
In a world that tells us it's selfish to slow down and tend to our needs before anyone else, we offer this space to slow down anyway. We nourish ourselves with yin ways to tend to the body before we move into our teaching portion of the workshop, and we take time to meet ourselves with loving attention in our journals.
