First Moon Circles offer holistic menstrual education to empower children and their families to be period-positive, whilst recognising that the onset of menstruation (menarche) is an important, sacred rite of passage that shapes children's lives and wellbeing.

Our global network of trained menstrual educators teach menstrual cycle awareness, puberty, to girls aged 9-12,
and includes a mother-daughter blessing.

Find a circle near you or join out accredited facilitator training program to bring First Moon Circles to your own community and families.

about first moon circles

FIRST MOON CIRCLES EMPOWER CHILDREN TO FEEL PREPARED, INFORMED AND POSITIVE ABOUT menstruation and to embrace their whole selves: body, mind and spirit.

Families that attend learn:
  • What puberty and periods are, so children understand how and why their feelings, bodies, and awareness develops at this major developmental milestone.
  • How to care for their physical body, emotions, moods, skin, thoughts and spiritual selves as they approach their first period, then afterwards, in each of the four different phases of their menstrual cycle.
  • How to choose the right period products for them based on their preferences, needs and lifestyle, including how to use them, and how to care for their body and the Earth.
  • How to get support from friends and asking for help at home and school, so children feel confident to express their needs and advocate for themselves and each other #sisterhood.
  • Learning what’s normal for tween and teens during puberty and adolescence, so parents and child know when to get help, and learn tools and knowledge to support their hormone and menstrual health.
  • Menstrual cycle awareness: teaching both mothers and daughters about the inner seasons of their menstrual cycle, so they can honour and nourish their cyclical natures.
  • Experiencing their periods as something sacred and magical, as the true Rite of Passage that it is, where children are supported and guided through a major transition with love and care.

  • Normalising positive conversations about periods in schools, families, friendships, work places and beyond,

  • Honouring Menarche (the first period) as a sacred rite of passage, an important processe of guiding young ones into the next phase of life
  • Healing the harm caused by menstrual shame which has been passed down the generations, and
  • Hosting safer spaces for all young people to be able to be their authentic selves, and experience the power of healthy sisterhood.

"Talking about puberty in a group of women and girls was invaluable - something we can’t create at home. It will build a sense of connection for my daughter as she grows up and revisits these topics. I found the four different weeks of the cycle REALLY HELPFUL.“
