Is there a
girl in your life who is approaching, or has already
experienced, that pivotal milestone of the first
menstrual period? Are you looking for a fresh approach to the discussion of this topic? This is for you.
The attitudes we convey to girls about
this fundamental female experience have more influence than
you might expect: establishing positive expectations towards
menses, before and during adolescence, has been shown by research to
result in better health outcomes. Professionals, parents, anyone who is mentoring an adolescent
girl, whether she has begun her cycles or is still 'in waiting',
can benefit from Rubicon Moon workshops and materials, which will forever
change your thinking about the significance of the menstrual
cycle.
Social anthropology, etymology, mythology, and the wisdom of the
indigenous are the perspectives that will empower us with profound
appreciation for the path of all women. Looking through these
lenses, we discover a treasure hidden within the menstrual
experience.
Adults and girls will emerge from these sessions with authentic
enthusiasm and a shared language of respect that will benefit the
discussion about sexual behavior and values that is an
inevitable responsibility of parenthood, and often one of
mentoring.
Surprise: its terrific fun!
