Are you ready to take charge of your reproductive health and unravel the mysteries of your menstrual cycle? Join us for Sacred Cycles, a transformative and educational session designed to empower anyone who menstruates or supports someone who does. This free in-person event will be held in the beautiful Love & Peace studio in Kitsilano, Vancouver by Homeopath and Yoga Teacher Paige Hamel.
What to Expect:
Learn the Basics of the Menstrual Cycle: Understand the phases of your cycle and how they influence your body, emotions, and overall health.
Disparities in Medical Research: Discover shocking statistics about biases in healthcare, including why only 4% of medical R&D is focused on female’s health issues and how there are five times more studies on erectile dysfunction — which affects 19% of men — than on PMS, which affects 90% of females.
Address Common Menstrual Issues: Menstrual pain affects over 50% of menstruators, with 5-10% experiencing severe pain that disrupts daily life. Learn natural remedies and techniques to alleviate suffering.
Dismantling Taboos: Let’s break the silence and combat harmful misconceptions like “periods are dirty” or “shouldn’t be publicly discussed,” still believed by 1 in 5 Canadians.
Birth Control & Beyond: Curious about coming off hormonal birth control and transitioning to natural methods that align with your unique cycle? We will touch on this topic as well!
Reproductive Healthcare is Healthcare: Learn why reproductive health is the cornerstone of overall well-being and a pillar of health.
A Blended Approach: This event uniquely combines western science-backed research and education with the spiritual and energetic practices of Yogic philosophy, Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and most importantly, Homeopathy.
Key Statistics to Reflect On:
37.5 years: The average duration a menstruating-person spends menstruating, totaling 6.5 years of their life.
Only 13-16% of menstruators have the “textbook” 28-day cycle.
84.1% of menstruators report experiencing menstrual pain, with 43.1% suffering every single period.
800 million people menstruate worldwide, yet menstrual health remains a taboo topic in many cultures.
60% of Canadian adults struggle to make informed healthcare decisions due to low health literacy AKA simply not knowing enough about their body and the resources they have available to them.
This Event is For:
Anyone who menstruates or wants to support someone who does.
People curious about natural cycle tracking and enhancing fertility.
Those seeking natural solutions for menstrual complaints.
Individuals who’ve been gaslit or dismissed about their menstrual symptoms.
Anyone curious about breaking menstrual taboos and spreading awareness.
