The menstrual cycle is a powerful map for deeper connection and power within the female body, yet our education and understanding of this pivotal part of woman’s health in the west still remains rooted in much myth and mis-information; commonly seen as a negative or shameful experience.
But what if the only blood to fall naturally, without violence, from our body, was not seen as something to be disgusted by or hidden, but revered as the source of life that it is – whether you have birthed in a literal sense or not. How might that change how we both felt and experienced our bodies as women?
Join Ellen to learn
* movement, breath and awareness practices to support women’s bodies & all phases of your cycle.
