BODYWISE DAY RETREAT
This is a gentle introduction around the facts of puberty and periods offered in a ceremonial setting honouring this rite of passage (transition).
The space created is welcoming and safe, drawing upon each mothers wisdom in this phase of her daughter's life whilst allowing space for her own evolution as a woman.
For mothers, it's an opportunity to honour what you experienced and needed at your menarche and to create change for your daughter's experience.
This time gifts us a return to being connected to our bodies,
needs and energetic cycles if we have become disconnected from them.
It will deepen bond between mother and daughter through opening the lines of communication and create a space she can come to when she needs support.
This is a chance for girls and mothers to:
+ CHANGE THE PUBERTY/PERIOD NARRATIVE
+ ENSURE YOUR DAUGHTER HAS NO SHAME AROUND HER BODY OR PERIOD
+ HONOUR TRANSITIONS IN YOUR LIVES
+ CREATE A CULTURE OF RESPECT AROUND YOUR BODIES AND LIVED EXPERIENCE
+ RECOGNISE CYCLES ARE EVERYWHERE IN NATURE AND OUR LIVES
+ EMPOWER YOURSELF AND YOUR GIRL TO EMBRACE THE WISDOM OF YOUR BODY.
LEARN
+ What happens to my body throughout puberty?
+ Why does it happen?

+ Period products
+ Importance of body positivity/healthy habits/self care rituals
RECEIVE

+ Crafting a menarche bracelet/anklet
