Girls Rising Day retreat:
Designed to be an opportunity to BE instead of DO with our daughters as they navigate pre-puberty and puberty. The day retreats are open, creative and friendly, structured like the moon cycle and seasons. We begin with connecting to ourselves, setting intentions and settling-in to the day. Throughout the day we use various creative tools to explore the cycles of nature, the menstrual cycle, period products, body-literacy, body image, emotions and self-care. We make time for connection, reflection lunch and a nature walk / play! We end with a ceremony to celebrate our daughters and mothers.
The Moon Child - 2-hour workshop:
Is a condensed version of the day retreat for girls aged 8+
Covering the important themes of a day retreat, it is a great introduction ot he day retreat. Girls go away excited, inspired and educated about periods, puberty, the menstrual cycle and period products.
The Deepening - follow-on day retreat:
A day retreat to go deeper into hormones, emotions, self-care, skin-care, self-image, the impact of tech - including smartphones, social-media and gaming on mental health and self-esteem. We learnt to make effect natural skin-care products to take home.
Each retreat or workshop comes with a goodie bag including information booklets, activities and gifts for girls and mothers.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
It’s a must, a hugely powerful and magical day which has really enabled connection and open conversation. My daughter said it was so much more useful listening to other womens experiences than having sex Ed in school, it’s also prompted her to ask all sorts of questions she has felt too awkward to ask.
I would say you need this, for you and your daughter. You get so much from the experience and tools for the future. You meet wonderful people who all want to help and share experiences. Puberty is hard for all mothers, daughters, fathers siblings, we all experience individually and together but this experience showed my daughter she isn’t alone and that it’s ok to be vulnerable with me. She has a safe place to speak and share and the workshop allowed her to actually realise that. Of course I’ve told her but somehow the workshop helped me to show her and for her to actually hear it.
I’m so grateful to Laura for following her dream to create and gift this beautiful experience to mums and daughters. The day provided an intimate bonding experience for my daughter and I that felt very organic. We were encouraged to tune into our true nature as well as share our experiences and true feelings with other mums and daughters, relating not only to puberty but also to the female experience. It really validated a lot of things I have been feeling lately. The retreat is as much a learning experience for mums as it is for daughters. I would say that every mother and their daughter needs this in their life, so book on to the next course ladies!
