Let’s talk about our connection to our bodies, the monthly cycle, and our bleed or moon time. I share a major milestone in my healing journey, how I’ve been reconnecting with my cycle and bleed, and share about the first time I got a period. We’ll discuss how colonization has robbed us of the beauty and power inherent in our cycle and bleed, and dig into how to reconnect to our traditions and practices surrounding the moon time.
