  • Your vagina is self-rejuvenating and self-lubricating
  • Your clitoris is designed for pleasure and is bigger than you think
  • The natural seasons of our bodies connect to the Lunar Cycle of the Earth
What can you expect at a Period Party with Andrea?
  • Community- Make connections and Unite
  • Expression- dance, art, costumes, and music 
  • Libations- Prepare your sacred snacks, whatever you desire for nourishment (red, if you want)
  • Celebration- sacred revelry
What will you gain from a Period Party?

How can I honor my cycle? How can I honor myWHOLEself?
  • Dress up to feel as radiant, comfortable, and YOU as possible. 
    • This is a fun way to acknowledge yourself for all that you are, especially your menses- honoring its mess, magic, and magnificence. 
    • I have always thought this is like telling my body “I love you so much,” and “you deserve to be cherished and celebrated,” and “you are AMAZING!” 
    • The purpose of dressing up and decorating yourself with adornments is to accept, love, and celebrate your whole self.
    • Period Priestess Tip (*PPT*)- wear red elements to represent your blood. 
    • Red is the color of Fire and Blood, and the color of the root chakra, Muladhara. Our wild, animal, primal nature lives here. 

You are Sacred and Worthy.

How can I create a Space to honor my Cycle?
  • Create a special spot in your room to honor your period. 
    • This Sacred Spot can be anywhere you choose- on the floor, the corner of a desk or night stand. You can design it any way you want.
    •  Show off your Period Power- even if you’re the only one to see it. Anything goes! You can display art you create at a Period Party, light a red candle, or create an elaborate altar. It can be as small or as big as you desire- your style is perfect! ​

  • The goal is to have fun creating and admiring your own special Period Priestess Altar that reflects your love for yourself and reminds you of the magic of your unique essence. 
  • *PPT*- You can collect your blood in a DivaCup and put it in a special glass jar. You can pour it in a plant or use it to paint a picture reflecting your Magic. Be brave and hang your masterpiece in your space! 

You are Creative and Powerful.

Andrea Gardner, Period Priestess and Celebrationist, is Creatrix and Host of Period Parties- Celebrations for new Menstruators with the  intention of embracing the Magic in our Moon, and the Power in our Womb. 

As a facilitator, Andrea is gentle and expressive, creating an inclusive space that invites bravery, playfulness, and embodiment.  She helps people be present by integrating the body’s sensations. Through her earnest humor, she promotes curiosity and acceptance. Her style results in a sacred container where participants feel safe to be fully expressed in rich group dialogue that is real and pleasure oriented. 

She is an Ecstatic Dancer, Acro-Yogi, and earned her Nia White Belt and FreeDance Certification in 2019 in San Antonio, TX. As a Dance instructor, Andrea finds immense freedom in expression, particularly through her passionate, play-filled, “anything goes” style of dancing. She views dance as a way to express raw emotion to move through the body. She invites students to the freedom to express whatever and however, they want. Her somatic understanding of the body is ever-evolving and expanding through healing arts and movement modalities. 

She is a co-facilitator of Come Plays’ Purple Circle - SexEd for Adults, an “intersectionally inclusive series of discussions that aims to increase overall pleasure of life, innerstanding of self, and comfort in relating to fellow humans.” 

Andrea has ten years of experience coaching recreational and team Artistic Gymnastics, and practiced gymnastics herself for thirteen years. She served as an intern for Barbizon USA, modeling and acting school, empowering young women with confidence. She was also a camp counselor for many summers. 

Andrea met life's challenges with resilience. The child of divorced parents, with mismanagement of family mental health, she struggled with eating disorders, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. It was in the gym where she discovered her love for teaching, the importance of play and laughter, deep gratitude and reverence for her body, and a love for collaborating with people on things like art, music, and more! 

Andrea is a gifted, experienced and highly-trained facilitator. She loves working with teens because she still relates. She believes in the possibility of all people following their truth, trusting in the cycles of our bodies, and a pleasure-fied experience.
