Not Designed for the Grind: Embracing Cyclical Living for Gender Equity and Wellbeing
In a world that glorifies relentless productivity and linear progress, we often ignore the natural cycles that sustain life. From seasons and tides to sleep rhythms and menstrual cycles, nature thrives in patterns. Yet, our systems demand constant output—leaving bodies, minds, and ecosystems depleted.
This interactive, discussion-based session invites you to challenge the myth of the grind.
Together, we’ll explore how rejecting cyclical living harms our health, fuels burnout, and reinforces inequity—especially across gender lines. Through open dialogue, we’ll draw insights from healthcare, social justice, business, and biomimicry to reimagine systems that are regenerative, not extractive.
Key Themes:
Recognizing and valuing cyclical patterns in our bodies and in nature
The impact of linear systems on gender equity and wellbeing
Biomimicry as a guide for sustainable, life-aligned solutions
Building regenerative cultures that foster resilience and balance
What to Expect:
Circular seating for inclusive, eye-level dialogue
Guided prompts to spark reflection and honest sharing
Emergent questions, insights, and collective sense-making
This is a space for anyone feeling the toll of “always on” systems—and ready to co-create a vision of thriving through cyclical living.
Bring your lived experience, your questions, and your curiosity. Let's rethink what it means to live—and lead—in sync with life itself.
