We open in community and sisterhood—arriving slowly, settling in deeply. You’ll be welcomed through ceremony, nourishing meals, and a menarche visualization to reconnect with the girl you once were—the one who first bled, who is still within.
You’ll experience:
+ Opening Ceremony
+ Menarche journey
+ A beautifully curated dinner with like-hearted women
✨ Expect warmth, story, and a quiet shift inside you.
Â
We are unlearning shame—and reclaiming truth. Discover how to track your menstrual cycle as a tool for clarity, creativity, and confidence. Through storytelling, somatic practice, and science-backed frameworks, you’ll shift from confusion to deep inner knowing. You’ll begin to see your cycle not as something to fix, but a map to live by.
You’ll experience:
+ Nervous system grounding practices
+ Introduction to Menstrual Cycle Awareness (MCA)
+ Somatic based workshops and reflection
✨ Expect clarity, connection, and moments that stay with you.
You'll explore the menstrual cycle as the ultimate creative rhythm—whether you're birthing humans, ideas, or your next chapter. You’ll cross the threshold of where science meets soul, ritual meets creativity, and your body speaks a language you understand. With movement, myth, and meaningful ritual, you’ll embody your cyclical intelligence in a way that stays with you long after our time together.
You’ll experience:
+ Workshop with dance, art, and poetry
+ Creative project mapping and emotional release
+ Blood and Full Moon rituals & Rose medicine
✨ Expect beauty, depth, movement, and an unforgettable night.
We close in reverence and celebration—honoring your process, all that’s moved through you, and all that’s ready to bloom next. You’ll leave not only informed, but also initiated.
You’ll experience:
+ Closing circle
+ Rite of the Womb Ceremony
+ Menarche Celebration
✨ Expect joy, ritual, and something you didn’t know you needed.
This isn’t just a retreat—it’s a reset, a remembrance, and a reclamation.
You’ll leave BLOOM with:
A new relationship with your cycle — grounded in Rose Medicine and ancestral wisdom
Tools to regulate your nervous system — stay rooted and harmonized
Creative and spiritual practices — align and harmonize with your body’s natural rhythm
Sisterhood and support — stay nourished long after the retreat
You’ll leave lighter, clearer, and more connected to yourself.
And you’ll never look at your cycle the same way again.
