A few words about
RED helps women to:
Reclaim our blood as a beautiful, powerful, sacred and healthy part of our embodied life.
Empower ourselves to know our bodies’ wisdom and make choices that best serve our needs as cyclical beings, and to pass that wisdom on to the next generation.
Deepen our relationship to the cyclical rhythm of our periods, which mirror the dance of the moon, the seasons of the earth, and the archetypal wisdom of the soul.
Who is it for?
Women
This RED journey is designed with women in mind. We recognize that not everyone who bleeds identifies as a women, and not every woman bleeds. Many women have undergone hysterectomies and no longer have a menstrual cycle.
However, the menstrual, lunar, and earth cycles hold archetypal wisdom that is powerful medicine for any body. We welcome anyone who is curious about connecting to these sacred rhythms on a deeper level. We are committed to creating and holding a safe container that honors you exactly as you are.
What the journey entails:
The four phases of the menstrual cycle mirror the seasons of the year, the phases of the moon, and the archetypes of the divine feminine. We will use these as a helpful framework to understand our periods and the unique gifts and needs of each phase.
WEEK 1
REMEMBER
We begin by looking at the cyclical nature of life and the wisdom of the ancient past when menstrual blood was seen as sacred. We’ll also explore the stories of passage into menstruation that we carry in our own bodies.
WEEK 2
RISE AND SHINE
Our energy rises during our follicular phase climaxing at ovulation. This is our time to rise and shine! Through embodied practice, we’ll awaken to the capacity for creativity, pleasure and the power to manifest held in our wombs.
WEEK 3
INTUIT AND DISCERN
Enter the dark gifts of the luteal phase. Sharpen your perception, trust your intuition, and glean the wisdom of your shadow. Learn the ancient practice of womb steaming to sink deeper into your own inherent knowing.
WEEK 4
DREAM AND CELEBRATE
Our menstrual phase invites us into dreamtime, a space to rest and vision. Learn to use your menstrual time to receive deeper insights and wisdom. We will close with a Ceremony of Celebration. A time for integration of the gifts of the journey through storytelling and reflection.
What's included?
- 4 two-hour sessions with two highly-skilled facilitators, (the last of which is a closing ceremony, and is 2.5 hours long)
- An in-depth understanding of the 4 phases of the menstrual cycle including how to care for your body in each stage.
- Accessible instruction on female anatomy and hormones.
- Archetypal wisdom and stories for each of the four phases of the cycle.
- Embodied, creative practices to deepen you into body and soul.
- Space for discussion, exploration and play.
- Herbal allies to support your cycle.

How it works
Community based:
RED is designed to be hosted by you and the community that you are already a part of. Surrounding yourself with your own community creates greater safety, empathy, and opportunity for support and celebration. We recommend reaching out to others with whom you would be excited to explore this journey–perhap other parents of preteen children, your sisters or your friends.
Participants split the cost and can share the duties of hosting, if in person.
Another option is to join one of our pre-scheduled live, online journeys. Email us to let us know your interest and get on the waitlist.
When and where?
You pick the dates and times that work for your schedule. We can gather virtually, or in person and then we come to you. For in person gatherings, we service people in the greater Pasadena and North East LA areas.
Time options include weekday evenings or weekends. There are 4 gatherings each of which is 2 hours, except the last one which is 2.5 hours long.
