Lara,

Reclaiming the power of Menstruation.

In the real world, women menstruate. In many times and in mant cultures, menstruation has been seen as sacred and special, but today reverence has been replaced by silence, ignorance and PMT jokes.

Her Blood is Gold, breaks the silence of our cultural taboo and shows women how to reclaim the positive power fo the female cycle.

Drawing on myth, tradition, and the personal stories of 3 women.
