Her First Flame

A first bleed circle for girls and their women.

​

There is a flame that lives inside every girl,

a knowing, ancient and wordless,

that flickers quietly until it is witnessed.

​

And once, long ago,

when that flame began to stir,

the women gathered.

​

They didn't shame her.

They didn't warn her.

They circled her.

​

With ash on their hands and songs in their throats,

they told her the truth:

You are not too much.

You are not to be silenced.

You are not alone.

​

Her First Flame is a return to that moment.

A circle for girls who have crossed the threshold of their first bleed, surrounded by the women who hold them:

mothers, grandmothers, aunties, chosen kin.

​

We come not with instructions,

but with presence.

Not with fear,

but with reverence.

​

We gather to honour what our mothers could not give us.

To bless what our grandmothers were forced to hide.

To show our daughters that their becoming is not a burden

but a birthright.

​

We light the fire.

We speak the names.

We begin again.

​

Join the waitlist to be part of the next circle when the time calls your name.
