From Resistance to Flow: Making Peace with the Cycles Within – A talk around the fire – Kersten Kloser-Pitcher

As a practitioner of Nonviolent Communication for over a decade, I simply couldn’t believe it. Once a month, I was overtaken by emotions. It left my partner increasingly uncertain about where he stood with me – because he noticed me “falling out of love” every month, and it became more and more unsettling. Clearly, once a month, he questioned my ability to truly practice NVC.
It was a tough ride, especially when I was so deeply dedicated to my path.
Last year, I found the key. I realized that I had been standing in my own way – trying to suppress a wave that would inevitably rise every month. And that struggle was so exhausting that it led to self-blame, self-hatred, and a loss of control and agency.
So I surrendered. I sat with the intensity, and I discovered the simplest truth in the world:
I am a woman.
These waves are part of my cycle. They return every month. No matter what I do, they will come. And I will face them.
Sit with me around the fire. Let’s share our collective wisdom and meet the hard feelings – like existential fear and the struggle with love and care – with presence and understanding.
This workshop is for anyone interested in the female cycle.
