Little Witches: A 4-month group mentorship for ages 10-14 navigating puberty and menstruation
Growing up, many of us were not taught how to be in an empowered relationship with our body and menstrual cycle. So much of the narrative around menstruating’ bodies is restrictive, controlling, disconnected, and fearful. The ways in which we try to care for ourselves is often misguided by misinformation. Media and schools often miss the mark when it comes to teaching how to properly nourish the body, failing to teach about the beauty and power in taking ownership of our cycles, intuition, and magic. When I started studying herbal medicine, I learned how to work with my body and menstrual cycle to care for my mental and emotional health and be more deeply in touch with my intuition.
This is why I created Little Witches! Little Witches is a 4-month group mentorship to empower and support young people (ages 10-14) and navigating their menstrual cycle and puberty.
Together we will:
Learn about the basics of the menstrual cycle as the “6th vital sign” and its role in all aspects of mental, emotional, and physical health.
Explore herbs to balance the endocrine and nervous systems to support painful periods, acne, and anxiety.
Work with herbs for navigating insecurities and untying shame around our changing bodies.
We will explore the different archetypes and phases of the cycle, and how the physical hormonal cycles influences our social, creative, athletic, and imaginative selves.
What is included:
2x monthly gatherings, which will be a combination of classes, herb walks, medicine making, and workshops.
A different herb each month to work with in different forms
A journal
Journal prompts
A supportive community where we can learn together
