Learn how to chart your menstrual cycle, identify patterns of hormonal balance or imbalance and explore the Five Elements.

Open to women only

What if your menstrual cycle could tell you more about your overall health and wellbeing?

Join us for an accessible, practical workshop on menstrual cycle charting, track your fertility and spot hormonal imbalances on your chart. A woman's hormonal health affects her bones, hair, brain, metabolic system, skin and much more. By charting your menstrual cycle, you know exactly what is happening in your own body on a day-to-day basis, giving you the power to do something about it.

The five elements give insight into how we can support the different phases and seasons of the menstrual cycle, creating balance and harmony in our body and mind. You'll leave with a greater understanding of your cycle and practical tools to begin charting at home.💫
