The schedule
Monday Jan 1 – Setting fertility intentions for 2024
We create our experience by being really mindful and intentional about
the things that we do. So ask yourself this: 'How do I want to feel while I'm trying to get pregnant? What would my most nourishing fertility journey look like? Where can I introduce a bit of fun and playfulness and let go a bit of trying really hard?
During the opening ceremony, Françoise Molenaar will guide you
through a visualisation exercise to help you set your fertility
intentions for 2024 - to make this the best year yet to come.
Tuesday Jan 2 – A healthy womb
Many women only start connecting with their wombs once they are pregnant. But it is so important to already start developing your relationship with your womb when you're trying to conceive. This will help you better understand what your body needs and will help create a hospitable environment for your baby.
Today's practices:
Establishing a healthy womb connection – a guided meditation
Françoise Molenaar
(Re)balancing your womb space – a guided visualisation
Emily Wilson
Nourishing your womb with movement – a yoga practice
Nikola Hájková
Wednesday Jan 3 – Balancing your hormones
By working with your hormones you can optimise your health, increase the quality of your eggs (and your partner's sperm - if that applies to your situation) and prepare the womb for conception. The good news is that this doesn't necessarily require taking fertility drugs - there is so much that you can do yourself to improve your hormonal health and prepare your body for conception.
Today's practices:
Listening to your body’s voice – an embodiment practice
Françoise Molenaar
Eating for fertility – key principles defined
Iris Josephina
Balancing your hormones – an acupressure practice
Susana Puelles
Thursday Jan 4 – Creating a fertile mindset
Ultimately, we cannot control whether we get pregnant or not - and that can seriously mess with your mind. There may be fear that this might never happen for you, or grief when your period comes or when you lose a baby. That's why it's so important to invest in practices that help you process difficult emotions and help you tune in to your intuition.
Today's practices:
Letting go of grief and fear through intuitive dance
Françoise Molenaar
Reactive your inner GPS with fertility hypnosis
Rachel Cook
Using rituals for fertility – a self-care practice
Caroline Ashurst
Friday Jan 5 – Spiritual alignment
Conception is a profoundly spiritual process as you're bringing new life into this world. You can enrich your experience by tuning in to a more energetic layer of souls that are looking to come earth-side, divine forces that are looking to support you on this journey and even the entire cosmos and its plan for you.
Today's practices:
Connecting to your spirit baby
Emma Moon
Finding divine guidance – a guided ritual
Shereen Öberg
Fertility Astrology for 2024
Juan Belmar
Saturday Jan 6 – A return to pleasure and to self
Ultimately, the journey of conception is one of self-care. It's about really listening to your body and feeling what it is that you need to become your most nourished self: the version of you that is open and receptive to whatever comes your way. Rather than losing yourself in goal-orientedness, ticking off the boxes of your fertility checklist, life will start to revolve more and more around what feels good.
Today's practices:
Connecting to yourself and your partner with authentic pleasure

Closing ceremony – Creating a nourishing fertility journey
Françoise Molenaar
This transformational event is free to all registered attendees
Your host
My name is Françoise and I work as a mindful fertility coach.
My own fertility journey lasted for over a decade, during which time I learned the importance of surrender and trusting life to unfold on its own pace.
IVF blessed me and my husband with our son Benjamin in 2020 and with our twin babies David and Robin in 2022.
I continue to work with women who are on a fertility journey, guiding them back to their bodies and showing them how to find a bit of lightness even in the darkest of times.
I am also the host of 'That Fertile Feeling - The Podcast'.

Is this just for me or can my partner also join?I would definitely recommend your partner join as well. With the exception of the womb practices on day 2 (which might not apply to any male partners), this could be a really beautiful opportunity to jointly prepare for conception.
