Moon Rhythms & Body Wisdom

The Inner Seasons & Sacred Body Journey

A 2-Month Online Journey for Teen Girls (Ages 13-18)

When: Fridays | 11-12 AM EST
Length: 8 weeks (June–July 2026)
Format: Live Zoom • Small, supported circle
Facilitator: Amber Melendy

Course Overview

Moon Rhythms & Body Wisdom is a deeply integrative journey for girls stepping into adolescence, puberty, and early teenage years. In this 8-week circle, participants explore:

  • The natural rhythms of the moon and how they influence emotions, energy, focus, and creativity

  • The inner seasons of girlhood: growth, bloom, release, and rest

  • The body as a sacred map, combining Western anatomy, Eastern medicine, and Indigenous wisdom to understand emotions, energy flow, and self-care

  • Rites of passage and sacred self-care rituals, including herbs, crystals, and journaling

This program empowers girls to:
✔ Track personal cycles through artful journaling and moon-phase trackers
✔ Build body awareness, confidence, and intuition
✔ Explore the energetic and emotional systems of the body (heart, brain, bones, breath, fluids)
✔ Create self-care practices that honor both mind and body
✔ Share in a safe sisterhood circle, practicing active listening, reflection, and compassionate communication

No prior experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
