About the workshop
Your libido isn’t broken. It’s seasonal.
Most of us were taught that our bodies run on a 24-hour clock: wake up, do the same things, expect the same results. But if you have a menstrual cycle, or love someone who does, you already know something shifts across the month. Energy changes. Mood changes. The way you want to be touched changes.
This workshop maps those changes to your erotic landscape. We move through the four phases of the cycle and what each means for desire, sensation, libido, and intimacy: when you want to be seen and when you want to disappear, when touch feels electric and when it doesn’t, when you want connection and when you need space, and why none of that is a problem to fix.
Come back to it in your follicular phase. Watch it again in luteal. Share it with a partner.
We can’t force pleasure. We can only make space for it.

The map
Four seasons inside one body
The menstrual cycle as a map, not a prescription. Tendencies, not rules. Your own experience is always the territory.

Ovulation
Days 14–17 Nurture + GrowOutward, relational, magnetic, wanting to be seen.
Luteal
Days 18–28 Work + HarvestInward, protective, slower. Deeper sensation, sharper discernment.

Included with your recording
The participant workbook
Fourteen pages to come back to across a full cycle: the four-phase reference map, your own intimacy map, a page just for partners, reflection prompts, and a daily tracking log.
This is for you if
Something in you already knows
You have a cycle
And you’ve always sensed it shapes your desire, but nobody gave you a map.
You love someone with a cycle
And you want to meet them with curiosity instead of assumption. There’s a page in the workbook just for you.
You don’t have a natural cycle
On hormonal birth control, past menopause, or without a cycle? The moon works as your map.
You’re stuck waiting
You’re waiting to feel desire before you initiate, and your partner is waiting for you to initiate. Nothing is wrong. The conditions just haven’t been created yet.
