Earth Within Girls Fall Moon Cocoon Sand Tray Gardens at Aralia Health

Expressing Your PMS Through Symbolism and Imagery

Join us for an empowering evening of community as we welcome the fall equinox. Harness the transformational energy of the equinox in order to tune into your own emotional and physical cycles. Playfully and symbolically represent your cycle by making a take-home sand garden with stones and figurines.

Mary is a depth psychotherapist who integrates creativity, movement, and mindfulness into her practice with clients. Using a feminist lens, she has helped those who struggle with cultural oppression access their inner wisdom and strength. Her research and writing offer insight into how the therapeutic use of imagination can increase body awareness and reduce the symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and PMS. She offers her services to us as a board member.
