CYCLIC WISDOM
October 18 - 20
(limited to 8 participants)
INVITATION
I invite you to embark on a journey to understand, embrace, inhabit & honour your cyclical body, accessing an immense source of wisdom that resides inside yourself.
Every cycle (from pre-ovulation to menstruation) and during our lifetime (from menarche to post-menopause), we transit a mysterious & powerful journey.
Our ancestors used to honour this sacred cyclicity. However, for the last 5000 years it has been dis-acknowledged.
Transiting this journey consciously has been an essential aspect of my own healing and spiritual path, supporting me to find Home & Medicine in my own Body. I invite you to do the same.
This is an invitation for women who are ready to embrace a deep process of awareness and transformation, (re)connect with their womb wisdom and own their truth, as well as for women who support others to do so (coaches, therapists, doulas, etc).

Session 1 - HerStory - An embodied understanding of how female sexuality became (and still is) taboo and the consequences that that has in our lives and our Planet.
Session 2 - Polarities & Wholeness - Embodied understanding and reflection of our inner feminine and our inner masculine energies.
Session 3 & 4 - Maiden, Mother, Wild Woman, Wise Woman - Embodied recognition of the archetypal energies that lay behind each phase of our Menstrual Cycle (pre ovulation, ovulation, pre menstruation and menstruation) and of our Life Cycle (maidenhood, fertility, menopause and post menopause) and how they manifest in us.
Session 5 - Wild Woman - The gifts (and challenges) of our pre-menstrual / (peri) menopausal phase; meeting, understanding and befriending the inner critic.
Session 6 - Being cyclical in a linear world - integrating the material into our daily lives and understanding our cyclic nature as a mirror of bigger cycles (Earth, Moon, Ancient Calendars & Cosmogonies, Life)
Session 7 - Menarche Ceremony with Cacao
Session 1 to 7 - Wombfulness - Along the journey you will be introduced to embodied practices that will support your well being and help you (re)connect with your womb space and your Womb-Heart connection.
METHOD
The journey weaves theory with somatic practice, as well as individual, dyads or triads and group work (online).
Our main tool of enquiry and exploration will be our body, through conscious somatic/movement practices supported by journaling, drawing, verbal exchange, ritual and ceremony.
You will be offered tools to continue with your conscious cyclic journey after the workshop (meditation, journaling, cycle and moon tracking).

PARTICIPANTS
Self identified women in any stage of life, whether or not you are menstruating, and/or have a physical womb.
Can I participate if I am already in menopause or post menopause?
Yes. This is a journey for all women after menarche. If you are still bleeding the journey will support you to reclaim your menarche, live your cycle consciously and prepare for menopause. If you are in (post)menopause it will help you to look back into your journey, reclaim the lost and treasured pieces, put them together and own your authority as a Crone.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. Feel free to share with other women who may be interested.
Much love, Verónica

FACILITATOR
Veronica Berezowsky, RCC, R-DMT, RSMT
Veronica works in private and community settings as clinical counsellor, Somatic/movement and EMDR therapist. She also offers her services as space holder and ceremonialist for groups of women, and as dance artist within community based projects. The essence of her work centres on holding sacred space for an embodied transpersonal process to develop, which supports individual, ancestral & collective healing, in a journey towards a more conscious, fulfilling and meaningful existence (Wholeness).
“I am passionate about building community and inspiring other human beings to inhabit their bodies and embrace its inherent wisdom as a tool step into a more conscious, fulfilling & meaningful life journey.”
This training is the result of more than 15yrs of self-inquiry, studies, research, teaching, counselling and menstrual cycle awareness practice. It has been offered since 2012, across Europe, in India, Canada and currently online.
The lessons learned in this training are for your personal practice and can be applied both in your professional and personal life.
The work and practices that I share and that inform my own practice, are rooted in knowledge, wisdom and traditions much greater than myself, as well as in my own process of (de)learning and a conscious commitment with my own healing journey. I am deeply grateful to all my teachers as well as to my clients, who have trusted and allowed me to keep sharing and healing together.
Dear Woman, your body mirrors the cycles of nature.
Discover its wisdom & embrace it!
TESTIMONIALS
"Nothing short of a life changing experience!"

“I’m absolutely stunned and so grateful for the changes in my body & mind. I never knew it would be so powerful!”
— ANJA, DENMARK
“Re-discovering this wisdom has brought a completely new and inspiring understanding of myself as a Woman. ”
— CLARA, SPAIN
“When I first heard about the mensuration workshop, I was a little skeptical. I had my period for half of my life - what is there for me to learn? But I was also intrigued so I went. It was life changing!
In the busyness of life and my corporate career, I lost touch with the rhythm of my cycle and the seasons. Ever since the workshop, I’m actively working to get back in touch to living according to the wisdom of my body.
Veronica is an amazing guide, she has soooo much heart and wisdom, but her true magic is her ability to guide me towards my own heart and wisdom.
Thank you so much Vero for all your work.
With love and gratitude”

I feel really honored to have learned from Veronica because she’s an inspiring and passionate educator/guide/facilitator of women’s cyclic wisdom. Her workshop is life changing and positively influential. Her soul’s balancing energy offers an unbiased point of view where I learned to understand and appreciate both my feminine and masculine energy within; but also how they have culturally emerged in the most predominant ways of thinking or being. I now recognize that the empowering wisdom of my womb is an ancestral-earthly experience which allows me to be present and in tune with my soul’s needs. I am forever grateful to have shared such a beautiful and nurturing space with other women from all walks of life and to continue to expand our connection through the breath of the earth, the creative force of our womb and the light of the moon.
