Every girl deserves her first cycle to be remembered, honored, and celebrated.
The Flowroot Rite is a trauma-informed, sacred ceremony created by Network of Women NOW to honor a girl’s first menstruation as a moment of belonging, empowerment, and community.
What is the Flowroot Rite?
Flowroot comes from three words: Flow (life rhythm, release), Root (ancestry, grounding), and Rite (sacred transition). Together, they reclaim menstruation as more than biology. It is a sacred passage.
Why It Matters
· Breaks silence and stigma around menstruation
· Connects girls to their families, ancestors, and communities
