beliefs & values
“Our belief is that every girl and (young) woman has the right to understand their own body. Our dream is that one day, everyone with a period has the tools to design a life that plays to their strengths and that society is a place that celebrates all identities and genders.”
ouR beliefs
Understanding how the menstrual cycle works can and will contribute to a more balanced life.
Society will benefit from redesigning systems that our built around a man’s 24 hour hormonal cycle, into human-centered ones, to create space for and celebrate different identities and genders.
Understanding our cycles and hearing others’ stories builds empathy and allows us to be kinder to ourselves and others.
Everyone should have access to education about the phases of their cycle so they can live healthier and happier lives.
The menstrual cycle affects everyone. You either have one or you are born from one.
Not only women have periods.

OuR Philosophy
Our bodies are powerful. And when we live in sync with our bodies as designed, people with periods can find incredible new energy and empathy.
The experience of people with periods around menstruation varies wildly. From country to country, culture to culture, even household to household. Many of these diverse stories remain untold.
Some people have received education. About their bodies and natural processes and have been taught to welcome and celebrate their periods.
Others have been told otherwise: that their bodies are malfunctioning or that menstruation is dirty or socially unacceptable. Or go through their lives in the dark about what’s happening internally.
We educate about living in sync with your cycle. Even if people know what’s happening biologically, they may lack a holistic understanding of how their natural rhythm affects them energetically, spiritually and hormonally. Possibly resulting in lifestyles and habits that do not help — or even harm — their overall well-being.
We advocate for living in sync with your cycle. The vast majority of institutions - schools, universiteit, businesses and organizations - have not taken knowledge about hormonal cycles into consideration as they design their programs, strategies, policies and curricula. We work with them to better understand the needs and strengths of people with periods and adapt their environments to be more supportive and empathetic.
