A Celebration Day for Girls is a one-day workshop for 10-12 years old girls with their mother or female carer. Before the Celebration Day, there is an evening just with the mothers/caretakers. This carefully crafted workshop was designed by Jane Bennett to support girls and mothers at this special threshold in both of their lives, and to provide an affirming, grounded and connected celebration of the journey to womanhood.
Workshop costs: 95 euros per mother-daughter pair.

OUR WORKSHOPS’ VALUES
RESPECT
We provide a non-judgemental, non-directive and inclusive space.
We welcome and value diversity of sexuality, culture, religion and family make-up.
RITUAL
We initiate girls into womanhood through story, craft, activities and gentle ceremony to acknowledge and honour the awakening of their maturing selves.
CONNECTION
We seek to enhance the connection and communication between daughters and their mothers/carers, between peers, and between girls and women and trusted people in their lives.
We seek to enhance girl’s and women’s connection with, and trust in, their own body and cycles, as profoundly personal means by which to connect with the cycles of nature.
LOVE AND HONOUR
Out of love we create a welcoming, safe and beautiful workshop space.
We honour all participants, their experiences, our group wisdom and the natural environment we share.
EMPOWERMENT
We aim to equip all girls and women with choice through offering possibilities.
We offer a practical approach, by promoting a positive body image and teaching body literacy, that normalises conversation, terms and experiences of the menstrual cycle and the female body.
By nourishing and supporting girls’ and womens’ greater awareness of the wonder of their body and cycles, we aim to promote greater confidence in their bodily integrity, inner knowing and outer relationships.
SERVICE
We strive to provide and promote tools with which maturing girls and women can grow emotional resilience and heal shame, specifically about their female body and periods.
Through providing holistic positive menstrual education we strive to promote gender equity for the benefit of all.
INTEGRITY
We provide a quality evidence-based program, with a grounded and factually correct approach in an environment of openness and trust.
These are the common values of the organization we are proud to be a part of: ‘Celebration Day for Girls’, founded in Australia by Jane Bennett.
