Creating your own group
Why not start your own group for women to support each other in exploring positive ways to see and respond to the feminine cycle?
There are many ways to do this, both online and physically. Consider your location, culture, time available and target participants and decide how you could best develop a community that can gradually learn to open up to and trust each other.
You could start a simple email group, a blog similar to one of the sheTIME ones but perhaps with private membership and access, or a weekly or monthly meeting in someone’s home, or in different homes on a rotating basis, or at a central meeting point such as a coffee shop…. or a combination of all of these!
Your could just meet for P.L.A.Y. Days, or you could use a central activity or theme related to the feminine cycle to focus the group, such as a creative project (workshop a play, make a collage, create a quilt, run a painting workshop…) or a research project (study rituals and their religious origins, or references to the feminine cycle in art or literature, or the latest medical news on hormones and PMS… ), or a book group (read and discuss related books, write reviews… ), or a retreat (using real or symbolic labyrinths, for instance…).
We would love to hear what ideas you come up with!
