The magic we’ll cover

Spring is a re-emergence after a period of inwardness, solitude, and shedding experienced during winter (menstruation). During the follicular phase, the body prepares for potential pregnancy, and energetically this is the time to plant and nurture seeds of creativity thanks to heightened energy and vitality. During this week, you’ll learn how to support your body with nutrition and lifestyle choices to honor your inner spring through movement, journaling, and other activities.
Summer is the rebirth moment, when creativity, confidence, energy, and self-expression are the strongest. Things begin to heat up (literally) and your pleasure centers and libido will be heightened as the body releases an egg from the ovaries to be fertilized. During week 2, you’ll discover how to support your body with nutrition and lifestyle choices to celebrate your peak creativity, authentic expression, and connection to pleasure during your inner summer.
Autumn is the time to begin winding down and turning inward. The corpus luteum — or cystic structure that develops following the follicles’ repute and release of the egg — begins to form. If the egg does not impact, the corpus lutem will begin to break down thanks to a drop in hormones. This can lead to increased anxiety and PMS, so fall is a time to lean on support and self-nurture. During this phase, you’ll learn to honor your inner autumn through nutritional and lifestyle support, plus gentle movement, journaling, and other supportive group practices.
Winter is the phase for shedding and letting the parts of you die that no longer serve your highest self. If pregnancy does not occur, the uterine lining will shed, resulting in the release of menstrual blood. This is a time of heightened sensitivity and connection to your intuition, so solitude, deep reflection, and self-nurturing are essential to flowing with this phase. During week 4, you’ll discover how to nourish the body with food and lifestyle choices to support menstruation, and connect more deeply with this phase through restorative movement, reflective journaling, and other inward rituals.

The creative writing workshop I took with Nicol was so transformational for me. Nicol really goes above and beyond to create such a special experience, even down to the smallest details. During the workshop I experienced so many wonderful shifts, and I am so grateful for her beautiful energy and guidance.
— Kim H.
Nicol offers a loving and practical approach to ground intention into action. Her writing workshop helped me to recall and activate practices that encourage healthy habits and inspire creativity as a writer and as a human in general. I enjoyed being able to sit in a space with other women to go a little deeper into the mind and heart.
— Jeena
Nicol’s creative writing workshop was so fun. It was so refreshing to hear the thoughts of like minded women! The workshop was so inspiring and exactly what I needed to re-dive into my creative side. She even gave us a rose and crystals and helped us tap into the deeper side of what may be causing creativity blocks. I would love to go to more of Nicol’s workshops!
— Skye S.
Nicol’s writing workshop was everything and more. The class inspired me to start journaling and get in tune with myself again. She gave us a beautiful rose and some crystals(which really resonated) and thought this was so sweet. We ended the workshop with a guided meditation which was the cherry on top. I would highly recommend her workshops if you are looking for some grounding and inspiration. Thanks for the class Nicol! Looking forward to the next one.
— Dani M.
Nicol’s workshop reinvigorated my passion for writing. Her tips for removing writing blocks & getting into daily journaling habits have helped me get back into my writing routine. Her energy is so inviting she really made everyone in the group comfortable to open up & share. Cannot recommend her workshop enough if you feel stuck in a writing rut!
— Morgan W.
Nicol created a warm and inviting space for deep connection and discussion. The information she shared at the workshop was useful and valuable. I left with more tools in my toolbox for furthering my writing. An evening spent gaining insight, expanding creatively, and making connections is a fantastic evening to me!
