The Period Purse worked alongside two First Nations communities who shared their knowledge, wisdom, experience, time, and talent to create the Moon Time zines.
Welcome to your Moon Time
“Like all medicines, Grandmother Moon is available to everyone, she sees us all as equals and so should you. Love yourself, love your family, love all. Hang on to each other. Be kind and support each other through this monumental time. Learning to move with the moon is embracing your own magnificence.”
