I taught a class called How to Support your Creative Business through Cycle Awareness. It was held two years in a row in June at the Black River Tattoo Convention here in my hometown of Port Huron, Michigan. The goal, as reflected in the title, was to teach cycle tracking to business entrepreneurs, tattoo artists, and creatives alike, so they can learn to maximize the potential of their cycle to “flow” with their business.
I covered everything from the basics of how to track your cycle, to organizing your life around the patterns of your cyclical moods, and learning what messages the moon phases offer around our cycle.
The class was about an hour and a half, attendees received a goody bag with a small introductory workbook, chocolate, a sticker and button with my womb artwork, and more!
Both years doing this provided a unique and incredible experience. I can only hope I left an impact on my attendees, but I know they left one on me. I can’t express my gratitude enough to everyone who supported me, and decided this class was important enough to be a part of. I’m especially grateful to Jon Anderson who puts on the Black River Tattoo Convention for hosting me so graciously and proudly.
Without those of us who are brave enough to talk about our periods and womb matters in loud voices, we stay hidden in shame and fear, and we let society continue to convince everyone this is a topic we don’t speak of. We need to speak it loud, because our bodies matter, plain and simple. This is a movement that is growing, and I’m so proud to see the increase in interest, all the women’s circles, the expanding literature and education, the embracing of the womb. Rituals, retreats, artwork, all of it.
After careful consideration I’ve decided to postpone my classes for the near future, so I can focus on what I’ve learned from doing it, and come back better and stronger. It’s so important to me that I can relay this information in the most straightforward useful way possible, and I’m excited to make the changes I feel are necessary! If you’ve spoken with me about doing a class for your group, I appreciate your patience and understanding.
My goal in the future is to be able to offer this class to other groups and businesses locally, or in the Michigan/Detroit area, but for now, please enjoy my content and if you have any inquiries, please direct them to themysticalwomb@gmail.com. Thanks for reading!
