COLLECTIONS - CYCLES - All my essays and articles in one place
A more cycle-aware world is a more connected one
I’ve created another new section on Cycles, Psyche & Soul for collections (can you tell I’m in organisation mode? It must be spring). This new COLLECTIONS section is a place to gather all themed writing together to make it easier to discover all the articles and essays on the same topic and binge-read!
CYCLES SECTION
When I transferred my newsletter to Substack, I was in the middle of writing a book on the topic of menstrual cycles. Specifically, the magic, intelligence and power inherent in them. And so it was natural that I shared these articles here on the journey. I had woven the wisdom of cycle-awareness into my work with women for many years, yet I didn’t want menstrual cycles to be my main focus so I decided not to continue with that book. I may create essays from the chapters I did write, or perhaps I’ll return to it in the future from a fresh perspective…let’s see.
Note: if you recently subscribed for creativity, writing and nature-based offerings, cycles are absolutely part of the bigger picture.
I believe that a more cycle-aware society is a more understanding and connected one. I believe our individual cycle patterns are personal maps to a deep intelligence that lives, breathes and moves us. An internal energy map that informs our creativity and our physical, mental and emotional states of being. A living intelligence that connects us to the living intelligence of the natural world.
Like the alive undercurrent that a cycle is; this embodied intelligence is the undercurrent in my own creative life. It’s a map that I listen to and follow and that is infused into what and how I share. My desire to share this knowledge is to guide people to their own body and cycle intelligence; this intricate, moving map that reveals patterns of personal creativity. (As I’m writing, I sense there’s more to be shared on this, but that’s for a future essay). For now, I invite you to scroll through and click on any article/essay that you feel drawn to. And feel welcome to share your thoughts in the comments section for each one.
Any new articles or essays that I write on this topic will be added to this collection as well.
Enjoy!
