This course is for all women in any stage of her life cycle.  We delve into many aspects of reclaiming our menstruation as sacred.   In these times we are being called as women to step into our power, to reclaim our sacredness as women who bleed without dying, and to teach the next generation to honor menstruation, our moon time.  Through deep understanding of our cycle, self care through herbs, nutrition and exercise, ceremony and alternative ways to catch our blood we bring our consciousness to the beauty and power of our menstruation.
