The Empowering Women Workshop, specially tailored for Steiner Educational, was held in February 2024 and received glowing feedback. It beautifully achieved the following goals:
- Nurturing Understanding of Puberty and Menstruation
- Fostering Connections with Self, Mother/Caregiver, and Friends
- Embracing Womanhood through Joyful Celebration and Creative Expression
The workshop was thoughtfully crafted to create a warm and supportive environment, ensuring everyone felt valued and inspired throughout the experience.
Testimonial from the Teacher
The Celebration Day for Girls was a magical, spiritual, illuminating day that we will never forget! It strengthened the bond between mother and child, between teacher and child and between all the girls in Class 5 and prepared the girls for the transition into womanhood. The girls really opened up, and this previously taboo subject became a curious and exciting journey to look forward to. Combing up to date information with much needed ceremony and celebration, the girls learnt what to expect when their bodies begin to change and were given practical ways to manage their cycles and honour their bodies. Helena you were incredible, and I would recommend it to all upper primary girls! Thanks again for how fabulous this day was. You were the perfect person for the job.

Testimonial from Attendees
We participated in the workshop with Helena organised at our school for Year ‘ ‘ girls. The girls spent a few hours with Helena before Mums joined for an afternoon of sharing of stories, laughter, tears and a beautiful connection between mothers and daughters. The workshop was filled with education, art and fun activities and stories. We left feeling connected and content, and I felt like my cup has been filled. We spent the whole evening after the workshop talking about things that my daughter had learned so openly and I could that she was so much more relaxed and at ease about the changes that will await her. My daughter said this to me about her experience: “I really enjoyed the workshop, it was a lot of fun, especially with my friends, we laughed a lot and I would do it again it tomorrow! And I understand the process of how my body will change much better now.”
