Give your child a positive, empowered start to puberty and menstruation by bringing them to their once-in-a-lifetime special First Moon Circle experience. Our next First Moon Circle on Saturday 20th September is for girls aged 9-12 and their mothers and female caregivers to gather to learn and celebrate the changes that puberty brings. An empowering, fun, sacred and inclusive circle that goes way beyond school's basic, limited period education and focuses instead on cycle self-care and self love so children feel prepared, informed, confident and supported to experience puberty and their first periods.
Topics covered include:
✨What puberty and periods are and what happens
✨What is healthy and normal, and when and how to ask for help
✨How to choose and use different menstrual products
✨What the menstrual cycle is vs a period, and how to navigate changing moods, energies, capacities, strengths and vulnerabilities in each phase
✨Menstrual cycle self-care
✨Mother-child blessing to support your relationship and period positivity at home

Each child will receive:
✨A take-home gift bag featuring her own 'moon kit' (a combination of sanitary samples, and beautiful self-care items to remind her of this special day)
✨A 22 page keepsake colour illustrated guidebook written for children full of the wisdom and knowledge to remember what she's learnt to come back to again and again
✨Her own handmade beaded bracelet to remind her of the magic of her cycle and self-care
The details:
✨Saturday 20th September 2-5pm
✨£85 ticket includes mother and daughter attendance, tea, snacks and a goodie bag for your daughter
