A once in a lifetime empowering menstrual education and celebration for girls aged 9-12.Tickets and concessions are available here (Afterpay available) https://charlottepointeaux.com/event/first-moon-24/
The way we experience our First Moon (first period) shapes our beliefs about our own worth, power and value as a cyclical being, which stays with us forever. Your child will love this beautiful, magical 3 hour circle where they can learn all about how they can look after themself as they grows up.
There is so much more to having a menstrual cycle than simply managing periods, and it is so important that children have a place to learn about all the changes, super powers and self-care needs they will experience as they reach puberty in an holistic empowering way.
The messages children receive about their body, their periods and what it means to grow up are extremely powerful, so why not take the chance to ensure your child gets accurate information and is supported in a healthy, empowering way so she feels ready to embrace her changes, her power and her body.
Covering self-care, and teaching children how to get the best out of their superpowers as they begins their menstrual cycle, First Moon Circles are doing period education differently. Our circles are proving a fun and enjoyable way for girls and children who have or will have periods to learn, play, and feel supported at a pivotal time in their lives.
When we offer children a safe, nurturing and empowering environment in which to learn all about their bodies so they’re prepared, informed, and appreciate why and how to nurture themselves in a cycle-friendly way, children thrive.
Body literate children are proud, they ask for the help and care they need, and they listen to their body’s need and intuition so they know what a yes and a no feels like inside. They learn to love their cycle as a ‘moon’ not a ‘sun’, and instead of seeing this as an inconvenience they honour it.
First Moon Circles aim to cover what is missed in regular school education and typical books on the subject, and intend to support you as the parent to learn about your own cycle, and how to support your child with theirs. We see families become closer through attending First Moon Circles, where we can reach children who just need to hear this from someone else.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi I’m Charlotte Pointeaux, local mother of 3 daughters, Internationally award-winning Menstrual Cycle Coach and Founder of First Moon Circle School, where I now don’t just hold First Moon Circles in my local Southern Highlands community, but teach a global community of women to become certified First Moon Circle Facilitators themselves.
I created First Moon Circles when a local mum asked if I would host a circle for her daughter and friends because her daughter didn’t want to engage in a conversation with her mum about puberty or menstruation. Her daughter felt like she knew it already from school and was incredibly awkward about it.
I created the first ever circle which was a roaring success: the children gleefully shared all their new-found knowledge to all the mothers when they arrived. One child announced to her friend for the first time that she had in fact already begun her cycle, and happily and proudly shared what its like. And the original mother told me later that her daughter was now so open and happy to chat about every little thing, she said she had a ‘proud mum moment’ feeling like she’d achieved something significantly positive for her daughter and whole family.
Now I occasionally host First Moon Circles for generations of children to attend, with many younger siblings now coming, and I’m pleased to have been invited into some local schools too.
I would be utterly thrilled to support you and your child at this important time.
