This is a beautiful artefact which will puzzle and perplex #archaeologists for generations to come -- a sculpture and tool to track your #menstrual cycle. It is a beautiful gift for someone experiencing their first 🩸 but you don't need to have a menstrual cycle. All human bodies evolved under the sway of the moon.

Join us for an afternoon of song, story, synchrony of breath to reconnect to our #lunar #ancestral past

This is a FREE LIVE event open to every #body with therapists, artists, anthropologists in North London at New Unity, 277A Upper Street N1 2TZ
12 noon to 6 pm
