"When women remember to return their blood to the Earth,
men will remember to cry and will no longer need to spill blood in war."

There once was a time when the world revered the bleed of a woman as a holy opening...

Young girls would be embraced by the women of the village, taken into nature during the days and nights of her first bleed and taught the mysteries of womanhood.

Temples were built and her bleed was welcomed as an ecstatic oracular channel.

When we remember that our blood is sacred and our wombs are sacred, we return to the magic and wisdom of our femininity.

This alone can heal ourselves, our lineage, and the Earth itself.

The Menstrual Art Movement was born as not only a movement, but also as a safe haven to help women return back home to their deep feminine wisdom through period painting, as drawing with period blood has the powerful alchemy to weave our blood into meaning.

It is a deep healing initiation, therapeutic practice and a personal act of reclamation to end encoded period stigma and shame to instead reveal its inherent sacredness to us.

Started as a healing and self-discovering journey in 2016, Jasmine now empowers and educates thousands of women all over the world to heal their relationship with their periods through period painting, an art that changed her life and continues to be her favourite means of expressing the Sacred Feminine today.

Videos of her work have gone viral and has been featured on major online news platforms like Girl Boss and has done several collaborations with impactful period activist brands like August (USA) and EcoFemme (India).

The Instagram page of the Menstrual Art Movement is a growing community of bleeders who share on the daily their works, alongside with incredible testimonials of how this practice has impacted them deeply.

“First timer here! I saved my blood from my last cycle and last night I started this mandala with my 9 year old daughter. I told her my intention for this mandala is to open my sacral chakra as I have a lot of new creative projects coming up. Also to let go of my feelings of not-good-enough. My daughter said "yes, because you definitely are (good enough)"

I started my bleed today and finished the mandala alongside my 3 year old daughter who said "it's so pretty" over and over. Even when I "messed up" she said those were the prettiest parts :) - by @breathedeeplylovefully
