Optimising Wellbeing Through Cyclical Intelligence and Womb Wisdom

A Bespoke Workshop Offering
for Saint Haven

At Saint Haven, wellbeing is a science-backed, deeply personal experience. One that balances cutting-edge wellness technologies with holistic vitality practices.

As the conversation around longevity, performance, and emotional resilience evolves, there is a growing body of research supporting the role of Cyclical Intelligence in optimising one’s physical, mental, and emotional state.

At Ohanala, we bring a refined approach to Conscious Menstruality. Our workshops integrate contemporary cycle science and somatic intelligence with ancient womb wisdom.

This is not about ‘period tracking’; this is about harnessing the power of cyclical living as a framework for enhanced emotional resilience and personal mastery.

You don’t need a physical womb to connect with cyclical wisdom. Whether you no longer menstruate or have irregular cycles, the rhythms of the moon and the seasons offer a powerful way to tune into your cyclical nature.

How this benefits
Saint Haven Members

Saint Haven’s commitment to cutting-edge wellness provides the perfect foundation for integrating Cyclical Intelligence as a powerful self-optimisation tool.

Learning how to track and work with one’s cyclical nature — across all life-stages — can provide a profound sense of restedness, clarity, self-sovereignty and power.

This is particularly beneficial for women navigating perimenopause. They are often caught in the space between their Inner Summer (creative peak) and Inner Autumn (sovereign power phase)—a transition that can feel destabilising and overwhelming.

By offering Cyclical Intelligence Workshops, Saint Haven has the opportunity to lead the wellness industry in bridging hormonal, emotional, and energetic intelligence for its members.

As a certified menstruality educator, I’d love to explore the potential of bringing bespoke Cyclical Intelligence & Womb Wisdom Workshops to complement Saint Haven’s wellness offerings.

To begin this conversation, we can connect for a chat and see if this work aligns with your vision.

If it feels right, I could arrange a private 60-minute experiential Womb Wisdom Workshop for a small group, so you can experience the depth of this work firsthand.

This immersive session offers a direct experience of the work—guiding participants through a somatic exploration of cyclical intelligence, intuitive self-inquiry, and deep nervous system regulation practices.

The science of sacred cyclical intelligence

We can create a bespoke program tailored to align with Saint Haven’s vision.

Each session incorporates a mix of modalities designed to bring people into a deeper relationship with their cyclical nature.

These practices help people develop emotional resilience, cultivate personal power, and emerge more deeply aligned with their authentic self.

  • A practice that cultivates interoception, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence through the lens of mythos and story.

    ESE helps participants notice nervous system shifts, subconscious narratives, and conditioned reactions so they can respond from a place of clarity, rather than reactivity.

  • To regulate the nervous system and tap into intuitive body wisdom. This is a gentle way to create emotional safety and support when embarking on deeper states of inner reflection.

  • A Jungian-based approach to embodying mythos and story through intentional visualisation, movement, and breathwork.

    This process allows participants to access hidden aspects of their psyche, integrating subconscious behavioural patterns in a more holistic, healed way.

  • Sitting in circle is an ancient practice that fosters connection, belonging, and personal insight.

    In these sessions, we integrate the Maieutic Method, a guided reflection and deep listening approach that helps uncover subconscious truths through inquiry rather than instruction.

    Sharing in a safe, sacred space allows participants to be truly seen and heard—unlocking profound self-awareness and inner wisdom.

  • Shadow work doesn’t have to strip you bare; it can be deeply nourishing and transformative.

    This work allows participants to access and integrate subconscious patterns, embracing their golden shadow as a source of personal power.

    This is particularly powerful for people experiencing perimenopause and life-stage transitions.

Embodying Menstrual Cycle Awareness as a daily sacred practice is a potent way to deepen your connection to your conscious self.

Tailored to you

Our workshops are adaptable to different formats and audiences.

Sessions are designed to be inclusive of all faiths and beliefs, ensuring that each participant can engage in a way that aligns with their personal spiritual or philosophical framework.

  • A guided somatic meditation that can be active or gentle, allowing participants to connect to their womb and cyclical intelligence.

  • A 45-minute deeper embodied womb meditation, with practical reflective teachings, followed by 45 minutes of group wisdom sharing.

    Deep active listening is a powerful practice fostering connection and personal insight.

  • Tailored to Saint Haven’s wellness themes, incorporating breathwork, movement, archetypal embodiment, and deep inquiry practices.

  • Creating safe, sacred spaces for profound insight and transformation with a focus on embodying cyclical intelligence in daily life.

  • Designed to offer a progressive journey into cyclical wellbeing and leadership.

Curious to Know More?

Our workshops are not about telling people what to do—they are about teaching people how to trust themselves. Through somatic experiencing, participants will:

  • Develop interoception – Learning to track physical and emotional shifts in the body.

  • Recognise subconscious narratives – Unpacking stories and conditioned responses that shape behaviour.

  • Cultivate emotional resilience – Learning how to sit with discomfort, regulate the nervous system, and respond with clarity.

  • Embrace cyclical wisdom – Understanding the natural ebb and flow of energy, creativity, and emotions.

These practices empower individuals to become their own source of wisdom—rather than relying on external validation or healing.

Want us to dial up the sacred?

We’ve intentionally kept this work accessible and grounded, but if you love a little more woo, ritual, and sacred symbolism, we are more than happy to weave in Embodied Astrology, Lunar Cycles, and the Wheel of the Year.

Aligning with seasonal shifts and planetary archetypes can be a deeply potent and intuitive way to explore your connection to self.

By embodying these rhythms, we strengthen our relationship with our sovereign soul self.

If this calls to you, we can tailor our sessions to deepen the symbolic and sensory experience, ensuring a rich and meaningful connection to the sacred intelligence of cyclical living.
