About The Radiant Maiden
What is it?
The Radiant Maiden is a four week circle gathering for 10-11 year old girls to gain a deeper understanding of their impending menstrual cycles. We will meet once a week for 2 hours.
Each gathering format will include a lesson, craft, and discussion. The content of the course is simple and digestible for this age group.
The maidens will take with them a foundational knowledge with which to build on through their lifetimes. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to observe.
