Leigh Patton Smith – Oklahoma City – First Moon Circles

Hello beautiful people, my name is Leigh Smith, and I am an art therapist, educator, and mother who has spent over 20 years walking alongside children and adolescents through many seasons of growth. I currently teach handwork at Back to Earth School, and also lead parent-child playgroups and therapeutic art classes at Peppers Ranch for foster children. My work is rooted in Waldorf philosophy, ritual arts and deep reverence for the rhythms of nature and the soul.

Moonbeam Art Circles are a mondern coming-of-age art circle for girls held in Oklahoma City and surrounding areas. It is a safe and creative space where girls gather in sisterhood to explore who they are becoming through:

Art Making & creative expression
Gentle Rites of Passage & Ceremony
Storytelling, reflection, and lunar wisdom
Building trust, beauty, and belonging
Each circle honors the changing inner world of girls as they grow- physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Together, we create space where every voice is heard, every phase of the moon(and self) is welcome, and every child seen in her unique becoming.

Let’s raise them in heartfelt rhythm-with art, wonder, and wise community.

Victoria Petersen – Seattle USA – First Moon Circles

Victoria Rose is a First Moon Circle Facilitator in Seattle, WA USA

Hi, I’m Victoria Rose — and I believe women will change the world, starting with how we raise our daughters.

I host Menarche Circles — sacred gatherings designed to celebrate and educate girls as they enter adolescence. These circles are for young girls and their female caregivers. Whether your daughter is approaching her first period or you’re simply looking to introduce her to cycle wisdom in a positive way, these events offer connection, confidence, and celebration.

I began this work by leading moon circles for adult women, helping them reconnect to their bodies, cycles, and truth. What I discovered was this: when a woman heals her relationship with her inner child, she becomes a powerful guide for the next generation. That’s where my passion lies — in uniting the maiden and the mother within, so we can raise a world of women who know their worth.

Many of us grew up feeling shame around our bodies and cycles. These circles create a new story — one of empowerment, understanding, and joy. Don’t worry if you didn’t have this experience yourself. That’s exactly why I hold these spaces: to support both you and your daughter in reclaiming and redefining this rite of passage.

I bring a deeply gentle, trauma-informed approach to everything I do — shaped by my own journey leaving high-control religion and reconnecting to my body and feminine power. Through ritual, education, and shared storytelling, I help mothers and daughters bond over something truly sacred: becoming women.

Circles are held in Seattle, Washington USA and available for private or small group gatherings.

Let’s raise a new generation to love their bodies and trust their cycles — and reconnect with the women we’ve always been.

Zarine Bharda – Indianapolis USA

My favourite thing to do is turning passion into purpose. I’m a mother of four adventurous children, where empowering them in their lives is only a part of my days work. As a woman we need to ensure our cups are full, and the way I’ve done that is by fulfilling my purpose through founding The Belly and Beyond, and co-founding AromaMa – both companies empower women and children of all ages to come back to Mother Nature and our voices within.

As a certified yoga practitioner and women’s wellness coach, I am committed to education and empowering women through a variety of holistic therapies, including yoga, essential oils, nutrition, and diving deep to find that emotional connection which in turn empowers growth. I facilitate women throughout their pregnancy to begin nurturing and celebrating their own and their child’s rite of passage – beginning in the womb, and then continuing on at every stage of their lives.

It’s an honour for me to hold space for young girls and women of all ages to experience the power within themselves.
