Tuesday 14th February 2023 - 10am New York / 3pm London
(We'll send you a recording if you can't attend live)


On the surface, your inner critic appears to be the scourge of your life, undermining your confidence, popping the bubble of your hopes and dreams and sapping your energy.

Can there be anything useful in this often destructive force? Our resounding answer is YES.

When the inner critic is restored to it's natural home in the menstrual cycle - your inner autumn (pre-menstruum) - it can play it's vitally crucial role in your initiatory journey, and you can learn to meet, manage and harness its creative gifts.

In this 1.5 hour online, interactive workshop, we will:

  • Explore what the inner critic is and how it might be showing up in your life so you can name it when it arrives, create space and develop an empowered relationship with it.

  • Learn how to create a strong foundation of resilience and buffering to meet your inner critic, so that it's no longer holding you (or your loved ones) hostage!

  • Discover how to work with menstrual cycle awareness to create healthy boundaries with your inner critic that liberates your confidence, creativity and power.

In the final section of the workshop we'll share how you can continue your journey of working with your critic, as well as all of the magic of menstrual cycle awareness, by joining our Menstruality Leadership Programme.

Your inner critic is your gateway to a discerning life, to the truth of yourself, and the courage to follow that truth.

The critic's overall role in your initiatory journey is to bring you home to yourself; to urge you to meet life in all its fullness, so you may live your calling, your Wild Power.

The more you practice menstrual cycle awareness and get to know your inner seasons, the more you're able to naturally create boundaries to contain the critic and hold it to its sacred role.

In this workshop, we'll guide you in how to work with your inner critic consciously, so you can cultivate a productive relationship with it - one that frees up your creativity, confidence and power.

We look forward to guiding you to make your inner critic your ally,
Alexandra and Sjanie
