About this Service

Body as Moon is a four-month series that centers on the relationship between lunar cycles and women’s bodies, drawing from how these rhythms have been understood and practiced across time. For much of human history, the moon served as a primary way of tracking time, and the body was understood as a source of knowledge shaped by natural cycles. The roughly 29-day lunar cycle closely aligns with the menstrual cycle, offering a long-standing framework for understanding fertility, energy, creativity, and rest.

When the lunar cycle is viewed alongside the menstrual cycle, the full moon often aligns with ovulation and the dark moon with menstruation, reflecting natural shifts in energy and attention. Around ovulation, energy tends to move outward, supporting connection, communication, and creative exchange, while the movement toward menstruation supports inward attention, reflection, integration, and renewal.

Together, these phases form a complete cycle through which life unfolds over time. As this cyclical understanding became less visible in daily life, many people lost fluency with their internal timing and the body’s signals often went unrecognized. This series offers a way to rebuild awareness of rhythm as an internal reference point.

Background and Expertise

Sasha and Diana tend a shared field of work devoted to women’s embodiment and belonging. Sasha, an herbalist and artist, creates offerings shaped by seasonal rhythms—working with plants in their own timing so that each gathering carries the vitality of the land itself. Diana, a Lebanese-Egyptian cycle educator, guides women into menstrual cycle awareness, natural fertility, and cyclical living as a path of deep self-trust; through Cremona Studios, she also translates these rhythms into garments and storytelling that honor the body’s intelligence. Together, they offer workshops and retreats that invite women to slow down, listen inward, and root into community—spaces where clay, herbs, conversation, and shared ritual become anchors for safety, connection, and the quiet remembering that the body is wise and we do not have to walk its seasons alone.
