Menstrual cycles are often reduced to medical or pathological narratives, especially for Black, Brown, and Indigenous women. This workshop reframes the menstrual cycle as a site of memory, emotional release, and ancestral connection, offering pathways to healing intergenerational trauma and rebuilding trust in the body. Participants will explore how menstrual disconnection—rooted in shame, systemic oppression, and family silencing—can be reclaimed as a deeply embodied therapeutic process. Through storytelling, psychoeducation, and practical tools, attendees will learn trauma-informed and culturally grounded strategies to support menstrual reconnection. This training is designed for therapists, birthworkers, educators, and community leaders seeking to expand trauma healing beyond cognition into ceremony, rhythm, and lineage.
Learning Objectives
Identify ways menstrual shame and generational disconnection contribute to mental health challenges in marginalized communities.
Describe how cycle education supports emotional awareness and intergenerational healing, including at least one strategy for engaging caregivers and youth.
Demonstrate understanding of trauma-informed approaches to reintroducing menstrual wellness—such as cycle tracking or emotional mapping—in therapeutic or community-based settings.
