Workbook

Discover the Power of

Menstrual Cycle Awareness
to Revolutionise Your Life

A companion to the Love Your Cycle free online programme

with the co-founders of Red School,
Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer.
 Welcome to the
Love Your Cycle
Workbook

We’re so happy you’re here, honouring your menstrual cycle and

devoting time to explore how cycle awareness can help you to
enhance your vitality, know your power and live your cycle wisdom.

We created this journal to accompany you through your Love Your

Cycle journey, to harvest your insights, as well as to chart your cycle
over the months to come.

You'll find a journalling page for each module of the programme, as

well as cycle charts for the coming twelve months, to continue and
deepen your menstrual cycle awareness practice.

We hope you have a magical, creative and inspiring time with the
course, exploring how to read your body, tailor your self-care and
cultivate your relationship with the powers of each cycle phase, so
that you can feel more confident, inspired and at home in yourself.

Above all, we hope the programme helps you to discover practical

ways to actually live your cycle in a linear world.

With love,

Alexandra, Sjanie and The Red School Team

 How to practice...
Menstrual Cycle Awareness...

Menstrual cycle awareness (MCA) allows you to get to know your unique
rhythm of power and learn how to live in sync with it, heal your menstrual
symptoms, and awaken your vitality, creativity and leadership. Here’s how
to do it:

Use the month-at-a-glance menstrual charts in this journal. (Or you can
draw up your own chart, or use one of the many apps available.)

On your chart, record which day of the cycle you’re on. Day 1 is the first
day of bleeding (this doesn’t include the spotting that can occur for
some people before the full flow begins).

At the end of each day of your cycle, record a few words on your chart
about your dominant feelings, energy levels, and mood.

Start a new menstrual chart at the beginning of your next cycle.

Alongside the simple daily charting described above, you may also
enjoy keeping a journal in which you record more detailed
observations, including dreams, synchronicities, sexual energies,
themes, arguments and insights.

We notice that the people who get the most out of MCA are those who
take the time to do the practice above every day. But don’t worry if you
forget the odd day – it can often happen around ovulation when you
may find you’re less reflective; or at any other time for that matter. Just
pick it up again and keep going.

If you have any questions, email us at info@redschool.net.
