🌕 New Moon Bloom

Late Puberty | Pre-Menarche & Menarche
(Cycles approaching or beginning, identity forming)

Theme: Honor, power, rhythm
Message to the girl:“Your body is cyclical, wise, and worthy of celebration.”

The New Moon Ritual: The Rhythm Tea

Frequency: Monthly or around the New or Full Moon

What You’ll Need

• New Moon Bloom tea

• Candle or soft light

• Moon calendar or simple visual

The Ritual

1. Create a sacred tone
   Light a candle and say:
   “This tea honors the rhythm of your body.”

2. Introduce the infradian rhythm (gently)
   In simple language:
   “Your body runs on a monthly rhythm, not a daily one. Some weeks you’ll have more energy, some weeks you’ll need more rest—and that’s wisdom, not weakness.”

3. Body Wisdom Question
   Ask:

   • “What does your body want more of right now?”

   • “What does it want less of?”

4. Sip in quiet
   Allow silence. This phase welcomes stillness.

5. Closing Blessing
   Say (or adapt):
   “May you trust your body.
   May you rest when you need to.
   May you shine when it’s time.”

What this teaches

• Monthly rhythm = power

• Rest is productive

• Tea = self-honoring ritual
