Give your child a positive, empowered start to puberty and menstruation by bringing them to their once-in-a-lifetime special First Moon Circle experience.
Honour your child’s transition into puberty with a First Moon Circle, a grounded, empowering rite of passage rooted in care, knowledge, and community.
An inclusive, sacred, and joyful gathering that supports children through puberty and their first periods with confidence, body literacy, self-care, and emotional safety, going far beyond basic school-based education.
Your child will be welcomed into a gentle, joyful experience where they can learn how to care for themselves as they grow, physically, emotionally, and relationally. First Moon Circles offer supportive, age-appropriate education around puberty, self-care, and menstrual health in a way that feels safe, empowering, and affirming.
Through learning, creativity, and connection, children are guided to understand their changing bodies, build confidence, and develop a healthy relationship with their cycles, not through fear or shame, but through knowledge, care, and self-respect.
Each child receives:
A curated gift bag with cycle-supporting products
A beaded bracelet they create during the session as a keepsake
A thoughtfully designed 22-page booklet to support them through puberty and beyond
Caregivers often find they learn something too, even if they’ve lived with cycles for decades.
The experience concludes with a Wisdom Sharing Ceremony, where caregivers are invited to offer loving guidance, wishes, and support, creating a meaningful moment of connection and affirmation as children step into this new stage of growth.
First Moon Circles are a gentle, joyful 3-hour gathering for kids to come together in community as they approach menarche (their first period).
This experience is designed to be fun, affirming, informative, and empowering, creating a positive, grounded introduction to the physical, emotional, and spiritual changes of puberty.
Your child will:
Learn what’s happening in their bodies (what’s normal, what’s not, and when to ask for support)
Explore self-care, hygiene, and how to handle “surprise blood” with confidence
Get hands-on with natural and healthy menstrual products
(pads, liners, cups, tampons, period underwear)
Ask questions in a safe, supportive, shame-free space
Create a beaded cycle bracelet as a keepsake and symbol of monthly rhythms
Build confidence, body literacy, and self-trust
Experience connection, friendship, and shared sisterhood
Each child leaves with:
Knowledge about their changing body
Comfort with self-care and menstrual options
Confidence and emotional safety
A sense of belonging and sisterhood
An open channel for honest conversations with family
A meaningful memory of being honored during this transition
