menstrual Blessing ceremony

In a time long gone, young women were not fearful, embarrassed or ashamed of their cycle, it was celebrated by the women of the tribe as she was welcomed into the world of the women. This can be possible for the young women in your life now too. Offering this facilitated sacred and intimate space for a new young woman is a gift for life. It teaches her that her body deserves to be honoured, valued and respected, and as her elder you can:
- create a stronger bond with your daughter, niece or granddaughter
- become the person she looks to for guidance (rather than peers, greater society or the mass media)
- help her be a stronger person through her teen years so she can say no to peer pressure
