At The Agenda. we love period books! Books are a great way to learn new information on going with ‘the flow’ of our lives and cycles. Here are some of our favorites!
Moon Time by Lucy Pearce
One of our favorite books is Moon Time, which helps create an archetypal framework for you to lean into. Discover your Maiden, Mother, Wild Woman, and Crone through your cycle through art, journaling, and meditation exercises. She also gives insights into gathering with other women during your period or in Red Tents. There is also many activities to use your cycle to tune into your creativity.

Reaching for the Moon Lucy Pearce
This book is perfect for your pre-teen daughter about to get their period. Similar to Moon Time, this book simplifies its teachings in an easy-to-digest format. It shares great tools that combine science and old wives’ tales that work to help your daughter embrace her cycle and herself.
Code Red: Know Your Flow, Unlock Your Superpowers, and Create a Bloody Amazing Life. Period. by Lisa Lister
You’ll love this book if you lean a little on the witchy-woo side. Lisa creates a road map to understanding and honoring your body and yoni as a temple. One of our favorite parts of this book is the SHE Flow Yoga practices that help you feel less like a pretzel and more like you have ways to channel how you feel throughout your cycle.
