Tailored Group Programs
Coming-of-age experiences for young people and families
Entering adolescence is a significant developmental milestone — a time of transition from childhood into teenage years and eventually young adulthood. These moments carry deep importance for a young person’s identity, self-esteem, wellbeing, and relationships.
Private group programs create a meaningful space to honour this transition through education, connection, reflection, and guided creative experiences for young people and the adults who support them.
How does it work?
Karin is engaged as a facilitator for pre-organised groups only.
All group bookings are organised by the host (such as parents, schools, or community organisers), including group coordination, participant communication, venue arrangements, and logistics.
Karin then joins as the facilitator to guide the sessions, workshops, and experiences.
Tailored group programs are fully flexible and co-designed depending on the needs of your pre-organised group.
Programs can be structured as single workshops, multi-session series, or a combination of parent and young-person sessions across time.
Each program is designed in collaboration with the group organiser to create a structure that best suits the group’s goals, age range, timing, and practical considerations such as budget and availability. This ensures the experience is both meaningful and realistic for each unique group.
What can the programs include?
Depending on the format chosen, programs may include a combination of:
Programs are designed around one core theme per session, allowing for depth, clarity, and meaningful engagement rather than covering multiple topics at once.
Themes may include:
Program formats
1. Parent–Child Workshops
Mother–daughter, father–daughter, or parent–child sessions exploring a chosen coming-of-age theme together.
These may include:
2. Girls-Only Programs (Multi-Session Series)
A facilitated series for girls only, usually held over several weeks.
These programs allow for deeper exploration of key developmental themes through ongoing group connection, reflection, and learning.
Each session typically includes:
Age guidelines:
Girls-only coming-of-age programs are generally designed for ages 10–12 (preteens).
I also offer programs for early and mid-teens in Year 7–8 (approximately 12–14 years) and Year 9–10 (approximately 14–16 years), with content adapted to developmental stage.
For older teen groups, sessions may include age-appropriate exploration of consent, relationships, sexual wellbeing, and boundaries, always delivered in a respectful, developmentally appropriate way.
3. Parent Circles / Parent Evenings
A reflective and informative space for mothers, fathers, or parent groups to explore their own parenting experience and understanding of adolescence.
These sessions focus on:
Each session is centred around a key theme chosen by the group organiser, allowing the content to be tailored to what is most relevant for your group. Common focus areas include puberty changes and the menstrual cycle, as well as adolescent development, emotional wellbeing, communication, and parenting support strategies.
Parent circles can be offered as standalone sessions or integrated into a broader group program.
Investment
All programs are delivered for pre-organised groups only. The group organiser coordinates the participants and venue and covers any related costs, while Karin is engaged as a facilitator to design and deliver the program experience.
All programs are thoughtfully designed to support meaningful connection, healthy development, and positive coming-of-age experiences through education, reflection, and guided facilitation.
✨ Please reach out to Karin to discuss your group and co-design the most suitable format for your needs.
The next step is a short conversation to explore your group, your goals, and the most supportive structure before anything is confirmed.

➳ Celebrating your daughter's Menarche (her first menstrual blood) is a significant step in breaking the menstrual taboo and reclaiming our cyclic nature!
➳ Being celebrated and honoured at Menarche positively impacts how we view and experience our menstrual cycles for the many years to come.
➳ Menstrual positivity cultivates better self-esteem and body image. Let's face it, how we view our menstrual cycle and our menstrual blood impacts our body image and our self-esteem significantly.
➳ Empowered Menarche leads to empowered womanhood/adulthood, increasing the likelihood of making good life choices.
➳ Each Rite of Passage sets the tone for the next one. The next significant Rite of Passage is giving birth. So again, empowered Menarche leads (hopefully) to empowered birth choices.
Note: Our first sexual encounter with someone else is also a significant Rite of Passage! So our Menarche experience would influence our sexual choices too, as long as our first encounter is consensual.
➳ Again: What we experience with our first menstrual blood, when starting our menstrual cycle, determines how we will view our menstrual blood (our periods) for the many years to come. This is, and has always been, an incredibly important Rite of Passage in a girl's life! It is a transformational moment with a huge impact. Entering the experience with an honouring celebration sets the tone for the future.

There are so many ways to honour and celebrate your daughter's first blood.
What's the right choice for your daughter depends on so many factors:
➳ Her age
The needs and expectations of a 15 year old might be entirely different to an 11 year old or a 10 year old.
➳ Her personality
Some people enjoy having a big fuss made of the occasion, and others like it low-key or even very low-key.
➳ Cultural and/or religious background
Some traditions have a clear procedure for a Menarche Ceremony. And for other cultural or religious upbringings, Menarche has lost its importance and needs to be reclaimed.
There could be many more factors listed, of course. However, 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲, without forcing her to have a big outing that would make her feel immensely uncomfortable.
The earlier you normalise open and positive conversations about the menstrual cycle and the menstrual blood in your household, the higher the likelihood she's up for being celebrated when it is her time to pass the Menarche portal and that she views her menstrual cycle in a positive way. But some people's personality is naturally more private than others, and that's perfectly fine!
Celebrating your daughter's Menarche can be done in very simple ways, like gifting her something meaningful or taking her out for a special dinner. Or you can throw her a Red Party inviting all friends and relatives to come and celebrate her Menarche. Or it can be anything in between ツ
