in her season
Food, Herbs & the Art of Menstrual Cycling
An intimate women's gathering · The Waxing & Waning ·
Subtle Senses Wellness, Silverlake, Los Angeles
intimate women’s gathering
Your body has always known what season it is.
A gathering series in two parts — The Waxing and The Waning — on the art and science of living in rhythm with your cycle through food, herbs, and the wisdom your body is already speaking.
You have probably felt it without having a name for it. The week you are sharp, magnetic, ready for anything. The week the world feels like too much and you want to disappear into your own cave. The sudden hunger. The sudden clarity. The sudden grief from nowhere.
This is not dysfunction. This is your cycle — a four-phase hormonal architecture that shapes your energy, your cravings, your emotional weather, and your capacity for connection every single month.
Most of us were never taught this. We were handed a box of tampons and told to push through. In Her Season is the education we deserved from the beginning — grounded in physiology, translated through food and plant medicine, and held in a circle of women who are done pretending their bodies run on a 24-hour clock.
“Your cycle is not an inconvenience to manage.
It is a map you were never given.”
In Her Season comes in two parts — Each workshop stands alone. Attend one. Attend both. Drop in where your cycle is calling you.
Part One · The Waxing
Follicular & Ovulatory · The Maiden & The Mother · Spring & Summer
August 9th 12-2p
The first half of your cycle is a season of rising. Estrogen builds, energy expands, creativity surges.
We open with a grounding breath practice, then move into introductions and a circle prompt — what are you in the middle of beginning right now? — before moving into the physiology and food of your most outward phases. You'll learn what's happening hormonally during the follicular and ovulatory phases, how to eat in a way that supports peak estrogen, egg quality, and libido, and why what you nourish now directly shapes the second half of your cycle.
You'll leave with a jar of oxymel — rose, hibiscus, and red clover in raw honey and apple cider vinegar — a medicine that belongs to your most radiant phase.
Part Two · The Waning
Luteal & Menstrual · The Wild Woman & The Elder · Autumn & Winter
August 16th 12-2p
The second half asks you to come home. Progesterone rises, the body turns inward, and the nervous system begins its descent toward rest.
We open with a settling breath practice, then circle with the question — what is this cycle asking you to release? — before moving into the science of PMS, the estrogen-gut connection, and how to eat and live in a way that makes menstruation smoother and more supported. We close with a final circle: what truth has this phase shown you?
You'll leave with a warming adaptogenic cacao blend made together as a group, and the language for what your body has already been telling you.
Each workshop includes an embodiment practice, a dedicated food education block, hands-on herbal medicine making, and a facilitated circle conversation. You leave with a take-home medicine and the language for what your body has already been telling you.
This is for you if —
— You have been managing your cycle instead of understanding it
— PMS, fatigue, or mood swings feel like things that happen to you rather than signals from you
— You want to use food and herbs as medicine without the overwhelm
— You are navigating fertility, perimenopause, or simply wanting to feel more at home in your body
— You are done with wellness content that is loud, trendy, and disconnected from the earth
— You want to be in a room with women who are asking the same questions
