menstrual mandalas – celebrating our embodied connection to the earth

With menopause on the horizon I made the decision to honour my fertile phase of life while I was still able to experience my menstrual cycle. I began to create mandalas during my moon time initially to create a relaxing and restful space to enjoy nourishing rest. As months passed the ritual evolved and I began to experience a deeper connection both to myself and the natural world.

This is an excerpt from an article first published in the Summer 2017 edition of 'AEVA' magazine. Read the full article. I am also pleased to be a contributor to the new Earth Pathways Diary and recently I was in conversation with Marinella from Earth Moon Mala about my mandalas and the gifts this ritual has brought. You can watch this intimate conversation on vimeo.

Packs of twelve postcards are available to purchase with 100% of profit going to support the incredible and mcuh-needed work of STOP ECOCIDE using mandalas chosen from the selection below.
