This weekend workshop is a fun and empowering introduction to puberty, designed for girls ages 7-9 and their mothers or caregivers.
TOGETHER, WE WILL...
This is more than a resource—
it’s a reclamation.
Period of Change is a revolution in how we honor girls’* puberty, menarche, and menstrual cycles.
Begin learning the basics of puberty, periods, and body changes in a fun, approachable way.
Explore the names and functions of our amazing body parts with confidence and respect.
Share stories, ask questions, and build trust in a safe, supportive space.
Create empowering art to take home as a reminder of what we’ve learned.
Learn about and celebrate our cyclical nature and our body's innate wisdom and magic.
This group is for girls who may still be a few years away from their first period—but are already asking questions, noticing changes, and beginning to wonder about puberty and periods.
It’s the perfect time to begin these conversations with honesty, warmth, and confidence. Here, we plant the seeds of body wisdom that will support them as they grow. This gathering is about sparking curiosity and meeting them where they are.
This circle invites girls to be in community with others their age, in a space that honors their innocence and their growing awareness. Through story, art, and conversation, they learn about and internalize the power and magic of our cyclical nature.
Mothers and caregivers are invited to learn alongside their daughters through guided activities and take-home resources, helping you begin (or continue) the essential conversations at home.
As our daughters approach puberty and menarche, they deserve a space that honors their journey - one which will instill a sense of self-love and worthiness that empowers them to advocate for their health and well-being throughout their lifespan.

Our teens are the flag-bearers of a period positive, cycle savvy generation! This circle empowers them with info about how to maximize their menstrual health, including tracking their monthly rhythm, menstrual care items, and birth control options.
For families ready to cultivate a period-positive family culture, Period of Change offers workshops, resources, and tools to promote confidence, and create shared language to help ensure that menstruation is respected, supported, and normalized.
Collaborative partnership is offered to schools, nonprofits, and community organizations to bring Period of Change to a wider audience. Whether you're seeking menstrual education, parent workshops, or professional training, programming can be tailored to meet your group’s needs.
FEELING NERVOUS IS NORMAL
Many girls arrive feeling unsure, anxious, or even resistant to talking about puberty—and that makes perfect sense: our culture has shrouded these topics in embarrassment and silence for far too long. That’s why this circle holds space for all the feelings: awkwardness, discomfort, curiosity, and everything in between. Each gathering, each conversation, cultivates a powerful shift. By the end of our time together, kids are standing taller, asking questions boldly, and walking away with confidence, clarity, and pride in who they are becoming.
real quotes, from real kids:
FROM . . .
I'm nervous. I don't really understand.
I feel very nervous about this entire subject, and every time that I think about it, I start to feel anxious.
Uncomfortable
Puberty is weird and strange.
Confused. Scared.
TO . . .
I am feeling proud.
I feel comfortable about talking about puberty. I'm sad our circle time is ending.
I had a great time here! I wish I could do it again.
Thank you for helping me understand everything.
I wish this retreat was more often because I love it so much!
WHICH CIRCLE IS THE BEST FIT?
If your daughter is in the 9 - 10 age range, you may be wondering which group is the best fit. Here are a few guiding thoughts to help you decide:
Consider the conversations you’ve had:
Has she already learned about puberty, anatomy, periods, and body changes?If these topics are brand new:
The 7–9 circle may be the gentler place to start, offering a soft, foundational introduction.If she’s already begun exploring these themes:
The 10–12 circle might be ideal, allowing for deeper education, discussion, and ceremony.
I believe you know your child best. There's really no right or wrong answer, and both circles are nurturing, age-appropriate, and designed to empower.
