=If you are aged between eleven and thirteen, and you have started menstruating, you are invited to join us for this very special Rite of Passage.
You and your mum (or other Very Important Woman!) will be part
of a small group of 5 - 10 mother and daughter pairs.
You will spend the day in a beautiful bushland setting at Noonyarra
on Falls Rd, Hovea.
The facilitated program begins promptly at 10am, and arrivals are welcome from 9:40am.
After an opening cirle and some introductory activities to give everyone a chance to settle in and get to know each other, we will be dividing into two groups - girls and mothers - so you will have the opportunity to do some 'secret girls business' in the upstairs room with Miriam :) .
We'll all come back together for shared lunch, and then after lunch, its time for you girls to get yourselves ready for the afternoon's ceremony. Our closing circle is at 3:45 for a 4pm finish.
Come wearing something that's comfortable to move your body around
in. You'll probably want some layers you can put on or take off
as it may be cold outside, but inside there is a pot belly and the
upstairs room where you'll mostly be hanging out gets toasty warm.
Don't forget to bring your bathers and towel for some fun in the
spa tub! (A bikini is ideal).
And you'll want to bring something light and feminine - that makes
you feel really special - to dress up in for the ceremony in the
afternoon.
You and mum will also need to bring some yummy food along for our shared lunch.
PS. Tell all your friends: Be there or be square!
