Writing in Flow: Create in Tune with Your Cycle with Kailey DelloRusso— September 11

We live in a world that tells us the only way to make progress is to push through. But what if your body—and your creativity—were asking for something else?

This workshop introduces a new approach to your writing life: one rooted in cycles, softness, and seasonal rhythms. By mapping the creative process onto the phases of the menstrual cycle (and their seasonal counterparts), we’ll explore how your writing energy ebbs and flows—and how to honor that rather than resist it.

Whether you menstruate, used to, don’t, or never have, this workshop will help you notice your own patterns, decode your energy shifts, and gently realign your writing with what you need most.

Through teaching and guided reflection, we’ll explore:

• Why working with your body leads to deeper creative trust

• The 4 phases of the cycle and their creative superpowers

• How to track your energy and adapt your process with compassion

• What sustainable creativity actually looks like (hint: not constant output)

This workshop offers women an empowering way to approach creativity with more softness, sustainability, and self-trust.

By the end of this workshop, you’ll walk away with:

• A breakdown of the four phases of the creative cycle (and how to use them)

• Tools to track your energy, mood, and focus throughout the month

• Prompts to understand and support your unique creative rhythm

• A sample creative plan built around your current season

• Permission to rest, reset, and revise without guilt

• A new definition of “creative consistency” that’s sustainable

• A deeper sense of trust in your body, your voice, and your timing
