“What would it look like if our introduction to menstruation was affirmative, comprehensive, and free from shame?

What would it look like if choices beyond disposable pads and tampons were presented from the beginning? Imagine if menstrual education led with empowerment, ritual, and joy.

Shifting the conversation around menstruation can ensure young people have greater agency to make decisions about what is best for their health, their bodies, and the earth they inhabit.

This is the fourth lunchtime discussion hosted by Natural Flow. Including sustainable menstruation in health education had a lot of energy behind it at our last meeting, so we’re holding space for these critical conversations to further develop.

We invite the wisdom and perspectives of teachers, parents, users of sustainable menstrual options, youth advocates, and anyone who feels intrigued by this topic. Come share your experiences, stories, ideas, and best-practices.

All are welcome to attend, regardless of menstruation status or any other factor.”
