ツHire KARIN for private sessions
Entering the realm of adolescence (coming-of-age) marks a significant milestone in a young person's life - a transition from childhood to teenage years and eventually into young adulthood. Recognising and celebrating these pivotal moments in our children's lives holds profound advantages for their well-being, their self-esteem and fosters deeper connections with both themselves and their support network.
Welcome to a special journey where families come together to celebrate growing up.
(っ◔◡◔)っExample of a Private Session:
Below are offerings for a one-day program designed to nurture understanding, connection, and empowerment.
Foundational Session:
A workshop crafted for mothers and daughters, focusing on a chosen coming-of-age topic. Select from a range of options including puberty changes, emotional or social well-being, the menstrual cycle, sex education, body image, and more – generally one chosen topic per session.
As your facilitator, I will lead you through activities and conversations tailored to your chosen topic, fostering meaningful connections and insights.
Calculate 90-120 minutes for this session.
Enriching Ceremonial Experience:
Add depth to your session with a meaningful ceremonial activity related to your chosen topic. This special moment shared between mums and daughters fosters connection and understanding.
Calculate 30-60 minutes for this activity
Please note: The same frameworks can be adapted for father-daughter or parent-daughter workshops.
Mother's Circle:
Step into sacred space exclusively for mothers (without the daughters present), where we delve into our own narratives and experiences related to the chosen topic. This reflective gathering offers invaluable insights, empowering us to support and guide our daughters with wisdom and compassion as they navigate their own paths.
Ideally a mothers' circle is held the night before our mother-daughter gathering.
Please note: The same framework can be adapted for a Dads' or Parent Evening.
Each offering is crafted with love and intention, inviting you to embrace the beauty and significance of this sacred journey. Join us as we create a nurturing space to honour the sacred bond between mothers and daughters, deepening understanding, connection, and empowerment, while sparking excitement in our daughters hearts about this transformative journey ahead of them.
Investment:
➳These prices apply when you organise the group and provide the venue.
$500 for a foundational session paired with an enriching ceremonial experience for up to 10 pairs (example mother and daughter), this includes all materials. Additional charges may apply for larger groups or costly craft material choices.
The total duration is 2.5 to 3 hours.
Enhance your experience with a mothers' and/or dads' circle for an additional $200. Duration 2-3 hours
For an additional $50, create a sacred space with a my 5m bell tent set up on your lawn.
After the initial session, additional sessions can be tailored to further explore specific topics. For instance, following a session on puberty changes, subsequent sessions could delve into the menstrual cycle, emotional or social well-being, or other relevant themes and so, potentially creating a multiple-week program.
If your group prefers sessions exclusively for the girls, without the presence of mothers, that can be arranged. In such cases, I recommend starting with a mothers' circle before transitioning to the girls-only sessions. Alternatively, we could begin with a mother-daughter circle and then move on to the next session and topic with just the girls.
The format for each session can be similar, but I am most happy to tailor anything according to the group's preferences and needs.

➳ Celebrating your daughter's Menarche (her first menstrual blood) is a significant step in breaking the menstrual taboo and reclaiming our cyclic nature!
➳ Being celebrated and honoured at Menarche positively impacts how we view and experience our menstrual cycles for the many years to come.
➳ Menstrual positivity cultivates better self-esteem and body image. Let's face it, how we view our menstrual cycle and our menstrual blood impacts our body image and our self-esteem significantly.
➳ Empowered Menarche leads to empowered womanhood/adulthood, increasing the likelihood of making good life choices.
➳ Each Rite of Passage sets the tone for the next one. The next significant Rite of Passage is giving birth. So again, empowered Menarche leads (hopefully) to empowered birth choices.
Note: Our first sexual encounter with someone else is also a significant Rite of Passage! So our Menarche experience would influence our sexual choices too, as long as our first encounter is consensual.
➳ Again: What we experience with our first menstrual blood, when starting our menstrual cycle, determines how we will view our menstrual blood (our periods) for the many years to come. This is, and has always been, an incredibly important Rite of Passage in a girl's life! It is a transformational moment with a huge impact. Entering the experience with an honouring celebration sets the tone for the future.

There are so many ways to honour and celebrate your daughter's first blood.
What's the right choice for your daughter depends on so many factors:
➳ Her age
The needs and expectations of a 15 year old might be entirely different to an 11 year old or a 10 year old.
➳ Her personality
Some people enjoy having a big fuss made of the occasion, and others like it low-key or even very low-key.
➳ Cultural and/or religious background
Some traditions have a clear procedure for a Menarche Ceremony. And for other cultural or religious upbringings, Menarche has lost its importance and needs to be reclaimed.
There could be many more factors listed, of course. However, 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲, without forcing her to have a big outing that would make her feel immensely uncomfortable.
The earlier you normalise open and positive conversations about the menstrual cycle and the menstrual blood in your household, the higher the likelihood she's up for being celebrated when it is her time to pass the Menarche portal and that she views her menstrual cycle in a positive way. But some people's personality is naturally more private than others, and that's perfectly fine!
Celebrating your daughter's Menarche can be done in very simple ways, like gifting her something meaningful or taking her out for a special dinner. Or you can throw her a Red Party inviting all friends and relatives to come and celebrate her Menarche. Or it can be anything in between ツ
