Menarche Ceremony
Welcoming the first cycle with reverence and love

an honoring of her transition into womanhood. This ceremony gently marks the beginning of her cyclical life, offering guidance, support, and a sense of pride in her growing body and spirit.Rooted in ancestral traditions, the ceremony brings together trusted women — mothers, grandmothers, aunts, mentors — to create a safe and uplifting space. Together, they share wisdom, offer blessings, and help the young person feel seen, supported, and empowered. Elements may include:
Storytelling and shared experiences
Symbolic gifts or affirmations
Red tent or moon-inspired ritual space
Creative expression, art, or nature connection
Gentle guidance about cycles and self-care
Closing with reflection, music, or shared food

Wise Woman Ceremony
Honoring the wisdom years
A Menopause Ceremony is a sacred space to honor the transition into the next season of a woman’s life. Often overlooked in modern culture, this rite of passage acknowledges the profound shift that comes with the end of the reproductive years — not as a loss, but as an emergence into deeper wisdom, clarity, and inner freedom.
This ceremony offers space to reflect, release, and reclaim. With the support of trusted women, a participant is invited to honor the cycles that have passed and to step fully into the role of wise woman, elder, or crone — grounded in life experience and inner knowing.
Elements may include:
Storytelling and circle sharing
Symbolic releasing rituals
Red cloths or candle lighting
Blessings from younger generations
Quiet reflection, nature connection, or guided meditation
Menopause Ceremonies can be held in our sacred space or in your home. At Rooted to Rise, we offer this ceremony with reverence, helping each woman feel honored and held as she crosses into a new chapter of wholeness and strength.
