The Traditional Girl's Moonrite is an all-night trial for young women
who have reached menarche and their mothers (or other adult sponsors) that
encourages responsibility, positive body image, empowerment through concrete
accomplishments and community involvement, sisterhood, and introspection. The 16th annual Moonrite will be held this year from 7pm on Friday, the 11th of May through the morning of Saturday the 12th at Beltania 2012. The Rite is presented by Amazon Sisterhood, the women who have been through this Rite over the last twenty years. The Rite is funded by the Sisterhood and the community, there is no charge to the maidens or their families– this is our gift to the newest members of our community. Preparing and customizing the event for each candidate is a long process that can take months, so we ask that our candidates pre-register for the event. In order to provide the most personal Rite for each maiden, there is limited space available for candidates. Register early to ensure your candidacy! The year’s registration deadline is April 1, 2012. To begin the registration process, or if you have any questions about the Moonrite, please email Aly at aly.clayton@gmail.com |
