Culturally we’ve been taught that having a menstrual cycle is a problem ✋

That the premenstrual signals to slow down and listen inwards is an inconvenience and something to be fixed 🌊

That if we aren’t functioning at optimal- something no just isn’t right… and often times we panic, resist and dread this phase of our cycle.

There are many ways to support our systems with nutrition, sleep, herbs, non-toxic products… yet the stress we feel towards fixing our cycles compounds symptoms leaving them without the space they need to breathe and settle 😮‍💨

I’ve found the best way to familiarize myself intimately with plants is to get to know one plant at a time! 🧐

For children- building slow relationships with plants is a beautiful practice whether it be asking a question each day or sipping it as a tea each evening before bed. 🛏️

During our year long girls circle- we are doing a 🌱plant pal project 🌱 where we focus on one plant each month and ask the girls to spend a small moment with it each day!

This month’s Plant Pal is rose hips!
Rose hips are a great source of Vitamin C and wonderful in Tea, Anti-inflammatory/ antioxidant , Rose Hip seed oil is wonderful for the skin and used topically 🌸
Seasonal indicator: For the Salish, Kootenai, and Pend d’Oreilles, Woods’ rose flowering in spring signaled it was time to prepare for the bison hunt.

Harvesting tips:
🌱Only harvest 1/20 hips that you see in front of you
🌱Pick off the plant rather than cutting the stem
🌱The hips are more highly concentrated after the first frost so now is a wonderful time to harvest!

Ways to spend time with your Plant Pal:
✨Asking it a question
✨Singing a song with it
✨Keeping it in their pocket and holding it in their hand for an extra source of love
✨Making tea
✨Feeling the texture on their skin on different areas of their bodies
✨Doing an oil infusion for skin care

For generations, Indigenous peoples have walked beside the plants of this land, learning when each one wakes, what it offers, and how to take only what is needed. 🌱

Their ancient wisdom of reading the seasons and keeping memory of the land in story, song, and daily practice. 🍂

The work we do through our partnership programs with the Confederate Salish and Kootenai Tribes, rests on knowledge that was theirs first. When we invite young people to slow down, tend a plant, and notice the seasons, we are continuing a conversation that started long ago.

We are honored to work in alliance with the incredible knowledge keepers as they share cyclical wisdom with the next generation.

What if you had the opportunity to support your daughter with her first period, even if she was at school when it happened?

🩸 Building a period pouch together gives you an opportunity to explain each of the items that go in it and how they’re used.

🩸 You can make these as simple or elaborate as you want, but here are a few foundations to get you started.

At Earth Within, we love to celebrate these important life transitions and empower girls through education and hands-on experience with handling period products so they feel ready when the time comes. The waitlist for our January semester of Girls Circle is now open ~ join the waitlist by sending us a DM and we’ll be sure that you’re notified when enrollment goes live.

What’s your body telling you?

✨ When you need to go to the bathroom but you are in the midst of an important meeting?

✨ When you are hungry but ‘need’ to take care of someone else first?

✨ When you feel something unsettling in your heart or belly in connection with another?

Children are naturally in tune with their needs. Yet as adults, ignoring the cues of our body is the default in a society that prioritizes productivity over taking care of ourselves.

Let this be a gentle reminder that when the body talks to us through its many cues, we can choose to pause and meet those needs.

Oftentimes, ⚡️this super charges ⚡️ our ability to show up more fully. 🌸

Our programs are centered around coming back into wholeness- practicing these essential life skills so what feels natural doesn’t get lost.

Registration for Girls Circle 2027 opens on November 1st. Sign up for our waitlist by commenting ‘Listen’ below. 👇

Through ceremony, plant wisdom, and nature-based self-care, we’re building a different way forward for the next generation of women, one Girls Circle at a time.

If you were unable to join us this semester, the waitlist for January is open! DM us or email [email protected] to be notified when sign ups for next semester officially open up for enrollment 🌿

What places come to mind that remind you of your true self? ☀️

Have you spent time there repeatedly as the seasons and cycles of your life move through you?🍂

Heart Lake has been this place for me. I’ve come here during a snow storm and survival camped in a hammock. I’ve come here during immense heart ache and depletion. I’ve come with lightness and songs as I’ve soaked up the sun. ☀️

As cyclical bodies we are mirrors of nature. As they release, transform, find stillness, and bud anew- so do we.🪷

A profound nervous system regulation practice for me lately is calling to mind these places in my heart and breathing them into my body- their colors, the memories, the feeling of being there. 🪽

As we say goodbye to summer- may we keep these places in our hearts and remember that each season has its gifts.

Much love,
Melissa

Appeasing only gets you so far 🍂

Those layers you aren’t shedding begin to feel heavy and over time… weigh 🏋️you down 🫠

For a cycling body- Luteul & Perimenopause represent inner-autumn. A time for gently releasing the fluff & what doesn’t serve you. Perhaps it’s choosing to refrain from a negative conversations, taking a deep breath instead of checking your phone, and telling a friend what they said hurt you. Setting kind boundaries so that our innner landscape feels supported and supple. 🌊

We offer programs for girls and the community that supports her and offer consistent parent sessions as a part of Girls Circle.

Perimenopause and puberty often go hand and hand and it’s so essential to deeply care for yourself to set a foundation for your girl. 💪

Join us for our Fall Girls Circle or sign up for our Winter Waitlist by sending us a DM, lovelies.

Children don’t just enter adolescence overnight. There is a gentle unfurling if we take time to mark this important transition with intention and care. 🦋

We facilitate a gentle threshold over the course of the school year that’s guided by community care, plant remembering, hands on crafting, song and movement. 🩸

Girls Circle begins in 2 weeks and we have 2 incredible facilitators joining us:

🪽Jaden Sparrow Menstrual Health educator and global retreat facilitator JADEN • menstrual cycle coach & educator and Dagny, rites of passage guide and nervous system expert Dagny | The Art of Rest 🌼
