The Menstruality Foundation was founded by Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer and Alexandra Pope in 2020 to expand the reach of Red School’s menstruality education.
At Red School, we are committed to creating a spiritually fulfilling, socially just, environmentally sustainable world*. We are passionate about actively dismantling systems of oppression that cause suffering to marginalised people.
We believe the voices and representation of historically underrepresented and oppressed communities are critical to positive global change and that menstruality education is a vital key for healing and evolution - both personally and collectively.
Menstruality Education and the practice of Menstrual Cycle Awareness has the power to reform our social values, relationship to the earth and personal mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
Tamsin Fagan received a sponsored place on the Menstruality Leadership Programme
Tamsin Fagan has been dedicated to supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence since the age of 19. As a women's safety advocate, womb medicine woman, and Menstruality Leadership Programme graduate, she has integrated menstrual cycle awareness into her work with survivors, using it as a tool for healing and empowerment. She believes that menstruality can play a crucial role in both preventing violence and helping survivors heal.
Tamsin is now walking the path of becoming a birthkeeper, using both her experience of providing advocacy and support within the VAWG sector along with her embodied understanding of menstruality to guide her along her journey. She sees the MLP as the baseline for working with women and birthing people, and is weaving this into this new stage in her life
Dr. Lacretia Dye (Dr. Cre) received sponsored places on both the Menstruality Leadership Programme and Menopause: The Great Awakener.
Dr. Cre has served her local, national, and international communities with heart, mind and body activism for over 25 years as a mental health therapist, yoga teacher/trainer and university professor. Ten years ago, she began a deep dive into menstrual cycle awareness as a tool to support the mental and emotional wholeness of individuals, couples and families. Menstrual cycle awareness is now embedded in all she does.
Since graduating, Dr Cre has joined the team here at Red School where she now works with those on the Menstruality Leadership Programme to facilitate inner change for social change supporting us all to work with Menstruality in a way that is just and inclusive.
"The transformational experiences I've had through Red School's programs have forever changed me. I am deeper connected to my wholeness, more aware of my interconnected harmony with all beings. I wake up everyday feeling the shift from practicing my power to being my power." - Dr Lacretia Dye
Ailsa Mair recieved a sponsored place on the Menstruality Leadership Programme
The Menstruality Foundation sponsored Ailsa Mair who is pioneering vital conversations at the intersection of queerness and cyclical wisdom.
Passionate about making menstrual cycle awareness accessible to those who may have felt alienated from it—particularly non-binary and trans people—Ailsa recently launched Queering the Cycle, a dedicated workshop for the queer community in Mid Wales.
Bringing Red School’s teachings into this space, Ailsa invited participants to explore their connection to menstrual and moon cycles, as well as cyclical living in a way that felt inclusive, safe, and deeply affirming. With a vision to expand this work, she hopes to continue creating spaces where queerness and menstruality meet, fostering healing, connection, and belonging.
Part and fully sponsored places on all of our self-study online programmes, including our signature Cycle Power course, are open for application throughout the year by emailing us (application form coming soon).
Places for our live online courses are open for application at the time the course opens for bookings - Menopause: The Great Awakener (September) and the Menstruality Leadership Programme (bookings open in June/July for course start the following February).
Sponsored places are available for people from marginalised identities, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those living with a disability or socio-economic disadvantage.
Currently all donations to the foundation are coming from people within the Red School community who have personally felt the benefits of menstruality education and want to support the expansion and diversity of our community.
It is a beautiful testament to the people in our community and how menstruality awakens our care and love of life.
Thank you for being a part of this social impact opportunity and contributing to the spread of menstrual cycle awareness and the development of BIPOC and LGBTQ menstruality leaders.
All donations to the menstruality foundation go towards full scholarship places and concession places on Red School courses, including professional training on our Menstruality Leadership Programme.
