SEASONS OF LIFE ~ SACRED CEREMONIES
Seasons of Life ~ Sacred Ceremonies
There are moments in a woman’s life that shape how she relates to her body, her power, and her place in the world. Across cultures and generations, these thresholds were honoured through ceremony, lovingly witnessed, held, and celebrated. Seasons of Life is a ceremonial series devoted to restoring these rites of passage through intentional, embodied, and heart centred gatherings. Each ceremony honours a distinct phase of life and aligns with the cyclical wisdom of the feminine.
First Moon ~ Honouring Menarche
The years leading up to a girl’s first moon, and the time just after it begins, are tender and important. These are years of growing awareness, curiosity, and relationship with a changing body.
This gathering offers a gentle and supportive space for girls and their mothers to come together in conversation, reflection, and shared experience. Whether a girl is still waiting for her first cycle or has only recently begun, this is a space to build comfort, understanding, and positive connection to the menstrual cycle.
Together we create a space where questions are welcomed, stories can be shared, and wisdom can be passed from mother to daughter with care and intention. There may be an opportunity for craft making, creating a tangible keepsake to honour this season of growing up. Snacks and beverages will be shared in the warmth of the circle.
This gathering is for girls who are approaching their first moon or who have recently begun their menstrual cycles. It is generally suited for girls approximately 10 to 14 years old and is held in a gentle, age appropriate, and supportive way. In this sacred container, mothers and daughters are invited to slow down, connect, and honour this unfolding season of life together.
Space is sacred. Presence is medicine.
