Talking Periods and Sculpting Vulvas: A Cycle Alliance Pink Moon Celebration with Rachel E. Gross
BPL's Cycle Alliance presents a unique arts and crafts workshop for teens, young adults and parents to initiate open and educational conversations about puberty, periods, and reproductive health. Folks of all genders are welcome to attend.
This program is designed for older teens (ages 15+), but caregivers are encouraged to attend with their teens and pre-teens (10-14). Pre-registration is not required but it is appreciated.
If you are willing and able, please bring a box of maxi pads, menstrual cups or disposable period panties to support our free period pantry.
