- **Event Name**: Cycle Charting for Real Humans: Avoiding or Achieving Pregnancy Naturally
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 08:30 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: A relaxed skillshare on understanding women’s natural cycles ♻️
Guided by Ally &amp; Mike

Most of us were never really taught how women’s natural body cycle works. Maybe we learned the basics in school… but not in a way that actually helps us understand our bodies in everyday life.
In this relaxed, down-to-earth workshop, we’ll explore cycle charting and the fertility awareness method as practical skills anyone can learn. No complicated medical jargon, no pressure - just real tools for understanding the rhythms of the body. 

✨✨✨This information can be used just to learn more about your body, AND for preventing or conceiving pregnancy. ✨✨✨

Ally will share how learning to chart her own cycle, with Mike’s help, completely changed how she understands her body. When outside authorities weren’t listening, learning to track and interpret her body’s signals helped her start trusting her own wisdom again.

We’ll cover things like:
🩸 the fertility awareness method (also called the symptothermal method) and how it works
🩸the simple signs your body gives throughout the month
🩸what your cervical mucus is telling you (yes, it’s actually incredibly useful information)
🩸 how to chart your cycle in an easy, practical way
🩸tools like Tempdrop that make temperature tracking possible even if you can’t remember to take your temperature every morning
🩸how couples can share responsibility for fertility and birth control, instead of it all falling on women
🩸what foods support different phases of your cycle and what you might want to avoid at certain times
🩸 how to plan your life with your cycle- energy, creativity, rest, and social time

This class is for everyone- women, men, couples, and curious teens. Understanding the menstrual cycle isn’t just “women’s knowledge.” It’s human knowledge. When partners understand each other’s bodies, it opens the door to better communication, shared responsibility, and deeper respect.

We’ll keep it conversational and welcoming. Ask questions. Share experiences. Bring what you already know. This is a skillshare, not a lecture.

Bring your partner if you have one.
Bring your teens (boys and girls welcome).
Bring your curiosity.

Because our bodies are always speaking.

Sometimes we just need to learn how to listen.

This is a community skillshare based on personal experience, nerd level research, and shared learning. We are not licensed medical professionals or certified fertility awareness instructors. You are the expert of your body, do your own research. 🧐
