Sobre o Retiro
UM RETIRO DE BEM-ESTAR INTERGERACIONAL, PERÍODO .
É sabido que estigmas culturais e falta de educação menstrual podem causar medo e vergonha para as meninas que iniciam sua jornada menstrual na menarca (ocorrência da primeira menstruação). Além disso, existem lares intergeracionais onde os pais e parentes mais velhos lidaram com o estigma da menstruação e vivenciaram as condições de saúde reprodutiva em silêncio.
O Retiro de Bem-Estar Menstrual da Love Your Menstrual é um espaço seguro e de cura para meninas e seus pais/responsáveis se envolverem em um diálogo significativo sobre saúde reprodutiva, compartilhar histórias de menstruação, ter acesso aos recursos de que precisam para estar bem e prosperar e construir irmandade.
Este retiro contará com:
Workshops de bem-estar
Yoga / Meditação / Massagens
Palestrantes convidados
Brunch e jantares
Atividades divertidas
& MUITO MAIS!

A list of Black-owned businesses did not exist for the Cape region, and therefore, Tara created one as part of Amplify's first endeavour.
