The Structure

Whether you’re beginning a new project, deep in the middle of one, or simply ready to reconnect with your creative rhythm, this mentorship helps you build clarity, momentum, and trust in your process by working in harmony with the natural phases of your cycle.

Understory teaches you to work with your body’s inner seasons, using the four phases of the menstrual cycle as a creative compass. Each week blends process-based lessons with embodied practices, allowing you to build structure and momentum while deepening your sense of creative safety.

From the start of the mentorship, we will meet as a group, on a live call once a week (you can choose between Thursday or Sunday cohorts) for two hours. You’ll also receive weekly printable workbooks, curated readings, and access to a private WhatsApp group to stay connected throughout the program.

This course is about learning to listen and letting your creativity respond. You’ll walk away with tangible progress on your writing as well as with a sustainable creative rhythm that can carry you through future projects

  • Opening Ceremony
    A welcoming ritual to ground into the container, meet one another, and set the tone for the next 10 weeks. We’ll clarify intentions, reflect on where you are in your creative journey, and begin mapping the personal and collective themes you’re carrying into this mentorship. This is your invitation to arrive fully as a woman, as a writer, and as a creative force.

    Closing Ceremony
    A moment to honor the work that’s unfolded, the rhythms you’ve reclaimed, and the words you’ve brought forth.

  • No. You can join with or without a specific project. The work will meet you where you are and help you move toward creative clarity and completion.

  • No worries, you’ll receive access to a replay of each call, so you can catch up at your own pace

  • This mentorship is about creating from a place of deep alignment with your own creative rhythm, specifically, the cyclical rhythm of the female body.

    We’ll look at your nervous system, your subconscious beliefs, your internal seasons, and your creative identity—all of which shape how and when you write.

    If you come with a project, you’ll still move it forward. But the focus is on helping you create with less resistance, more clarity, and sustainable energy. It is a process of reconnecting with yourself so that your writing becomes a reflection of that deeper integration.

  • Yes, especially if you're seeking more ease, depth, or alignment in your practice. Many women operate with external pressure and masculine productivity frameworks. Here, we offer you a new lens that allows you to collaborate with your cycle, restore your creative rhythm, and access more sustainable flow.

  • Absolutely! We welcome cyclical beings of all backgrounds, identities and experiences, including those who are pregnant, peri-menopausal, menopausal, or who do not currently menstruate. While the framework is rooted in the menstrual cycle, the wisdom is cyclical, not exclusive. It’s about reconnecting to your body’s creative signals, however they manifest.

  • Yes. We offer flexible payment options to make this accessible. You’ll see the full breakdown at checkout.

    Options may vary depending on your country of residence. Please, contact us if payment plans are not automatically available.
