Moontime Cycles

Join midwives Jessica Moraes & Freya Martin for a Moontime Circle.

This Moontime Circle is for young girls 10-14 years of age with their mother or female support person.

Jessica and Freya will bring their midwifery and nursing knowledge and experience of female anatomy and physiology. Sharing of stories of your first bleed can be done if you feel comfortable to do so. We will speak about traditional practices for menarche (first bleed) and menstruation, bringing the holistic picture of the menstrual cycle as following the inner seasons of winter, spring, summer and autumn.

This special gathering is designed to empower young girls with confidence as they learn to navigate the inner seasons of their menstrual cycles. Through shared wisdom and gentle guidance, the girls will deepen their understanding of their unique and incredible bodies.

We will create a bracelet or necklace with gemstones; agate and moonstone as a way to honour the bleeding days. Moonstone is chosen for it's link to the cycle of the moon which many traditional cultures followed alongside their menstrual cycle. We will use agate for its calming and grounding properties, believed to balance the female reproductive system, supporting both the physiological and emotional aspects of the menstrual cycle.

Together we will create a sacred space to honour this powerful and magnificent transition to maidenhood.

The nurturing practice of traditional belly wrapping for menstruation, providing warmth and support will be taught, alongside nursing and anthroposophical care for menstrual cramping and pain.

Please bring a long scarf, rebozo or sarong for belly wrapping.

Lunch will be provided - please let us know if you have any dietary requirements.
We look forward to sharing with you all.

Tickets $95 per pair

(1 ticket for 2 participants - young girl and mother/ female support person)
