The Little Gardener

Uma Dinsmore Tuli phD, author of Yoni Shakti: A Woman’s Guide to power and freedom through yoga and tantra Menstruation is the anchor of your power process. It is both the beginning and end of it. It’s the place where you root deeply into yourself. And surrender is the means by which that anchoring happens. As you let go at menstruation you release tension, repair and refuel(through rest and the activation of the soothing balm of oxytocin), re-connect, remember who are and what you are really about (your Calling or Wild Power).

The week begins each Monday when we’ll release a 20-30 minute original teaching revealing a different aspect of the power of your menstrual cycle, from Sjanie and Alexandra. You can listen to these at a time that works for you. Wild Power is a book about feminine power - the power of the menstrual cycle. This book reveals the inner architecture of a woman and the path to power that is encoded in her body. This unique force tutors us in the sacred tasks of each phase of our journey, from our first period to menopause, the perils and the pitfalls, as we grow into our authority and eldership as creators and leaders in the world. In this book the authors explore the three maps of the menstrual cycle that guide women through their inner landscape to meet themselves, get to know their own nature, and develop the psychological muscle to channel the creative and spiritual forces within them. The Wolf Science Research Park is about an hour’s drive due north of Vienna. In the winter of 2018, I was visiting there to give a talk on my book How to Tame a Fox and Build a Dog. That book is all about an ongoing 62-year-long experiment studying domestication in silver foxes in real time in Novosibirsk, Russia. From the start of that experiment, Lyudmila Trut, my coauthor on the book, and her colleagues have been especially interested in dog domestication. For a whole suite of reasons—scientific, logistical, and political—they have been using the silver fox (Vulpes vulpes) as a stand-in for the wolf to study, step by step, how domestication occurs. So the chance for me to spend some time up close and personal with wolves was, to say the least, exciting. Gather with us for twice weekly zoom mentoring circles with the Red School Leadership Mentors to connect live with your fellow participants and have the chance to receive personal guidance around your cycle and power process. You are welcome to attend and simply listen. Sjanie: We could all inspire each other. Because it is about opening our minds to something that has never been seen before, certainly not in our recent history. So it would be so lovely to hear what your intention is for your relationship with your cycle.

Wild Power: Discover the Magic of Your Menstrual Cycle and Awaken the Feminine Path to Power (Hay House, 2017) The female body reconstitutes the world. And yet the very blood that makes that possible became the reason that we are less holy, less capable of holding positions of authority or speaking on behalf of the divine. It’s time we remember that there’s no scripture more sacred than being in our own skin. Embodiment is our holiest spiritual path. And Wild Power paves the way.’ Power—or more specifically the quest to attain and maintain power—lies at the heart of almost all animal societies. The subtle, and often not-so-subtle, ways that animals seek power over those around them are astonishing and informative, both in and of themselves and because they provide an evolutionary window through which we can better understand behavioral dynamics in group-living species. Wise Power is the radical new story of menopause – illuminating its power and potential. Pioneers of the menstruality revolution and the founders of Red School, Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer explain how to embrace menopause as a sacred rite of passage, an initiation that grows your authority, steeps you in purpose and awakens you to great power and wisdom. They show you how to:

And your reward for meeting this month after month...a fierce, truth searing capacity to hold to the full brilliance of yourself and a tender humility; a resilience and responsiveness to life. In short Wisdom. Sjanie: So just on this thing of the importance of cycles as you come into relationship with your cycle you learn to manage your energy better. And I read someone, a very smart woman posted somewhere, she said ‘it’s no longer about managing the to do list, it’s about managing your energy, that’s where it’s at’ and I thought absolutely, forget about managing to do lists, manage your energy and everything else will fall into place. And the menstrual cycle is exactly that, it’s your guide, it’s your coach, it’s your way of managing your energy if you listen and respond to it. Clare Dubois and Edveeje Fairchild, Directors of Treesisters – the global environmental and feminine leadership charity The menstrual cycle is a vital and vitalizing system in the female body, and yet our understanding of and respect for this process is both limited and distorted. Few women really know about the physiology of their cycle, and many do not see it as an integral part of their health and well-being, let alone as a potential guide to emotional and spiritual literacy.

Emily Hughes: The writing process behind Wild

The Inner Seasons of your menstrual cycle are your guide to getting to know yourself as well as being the necessary preparation for accessing the spiritual powers of menstruation. We have only one rule when it comes to exploring the power of your menstrual cycle, and we call it our Big Red Rule. It simply states that: In holding the tension of the complexity of who you are, the light and dark, you allow your power to evolve. You have the power of ‘no’ on your side to clarify what’s in and what’s out and establish firm boundaries. Your inner spring is a place of becoming. You are in transition from the deep interiority of your inner winter and negotiating your way to the full expression of yourself in your inner summer. You are firming up your sense of identity, getting more and more comfortable in the sacred art of being you. Sjanie: And I think that’s an important point actually, to not aim at some kind of idealised perfection, that’s when you can go horribly wrong. Any move you make towards yourself, any move you make to come into relationship with your cycle, even in the smallest way it can bring profound gifts and is a very beautiful thing, so you know…my fantasy cycle life is very different to my reality cycle life, and I just keep reminding myself to stay connected to my real cycle life. I didn’t say at the beginning but I’ve got 2 small children, 2 girls, they are growing up now actually, my youngest is 3 and my oldest is 5 and a half, but what I would ideally like in terms of self-care and my cycle, you know if I could respond to my cycle in the way my deep hearts desires asked for, you know my children would be left to fend for themselves quite frankly.

It's time to redefine menopause. This pivotal time of life is often mistakenly viewed as a health crisis that is ‘suffered from’ or ‘coped with’, and misinformation and myths around menopause can leave you feeling ignored and misunderstood. But it is. It’s the force that pushes you out the door to do things before you think you’re ready...and all meaningful projects require a little foolhardiness!To help you access your inner spring’s gifts you need the sacred task of cherishing yourself. It’s important to approach the inner spring and yourself with tenderness and care. Your Inner Winter is a season full of the most amazing resources such as the ability to experience expansive awareness and altered states of consciousness, effortless presence, ecstasy and visioning, and love and Union. With combined experience in the fields of psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, coaching, embodied movement practices, teaching and facilitation, they are published authors and experts in the field of women’s wellbeing and spirituality. They are a very creative and productive partnership, bringing liberal doses of irreverent humour to their work.The inner autumn is the 'home' of your inner critic. The critic’s role is...well...to criticise. It’s remit is to challenge and it delivers its message with a sting. And it’s this combination of criticism delivered with a sting that is perfectly designed to cause disruption and disturbance within you, to break down the walls of your protection (in other words deflate the ego) so that you can grow and strengthen beyond what you have been before. Clare Dubois and Edveeje Fairchild, directors of Treesisters - the global environmental and feminine leadership charit As a template for the creative process, The Inner Seasons reveal the very precise stages every creative project goes through. This is built into your body – it’s your personal creativity coach for accessing inspiration Three ‘maps’ to guide you through the energies, tasks and challenges presented as you journey through each cycle We will explore six modules together over six weeks - each module will immerse you in a new element of the inner architecture of your cycle and how it supports you to encounter and embody your Wild Power. (Plus a bonus Sacred Inner Winter Retreat).
