At Red School, our vision is to activate the vitality, creativity and leadership of a million people, through the magic of menstrual cycle awareness and a conscious menopause. So it’s amazing to watch the work take root across the world in so many ways, including having Menstruality Leadership Programme graduates from over 50 countries - mind-blowing!
Here are some other ways that menstruality is reaching people all around the world:
Wild Power is now available in ten languages:
We were delighted to find out that although the Hebrew copy of Wild Power has only recently been published, it has already sold 700 copies. Along with French, German, Czech, Korean, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Russian, and Korean, the book is now also available in Turkish. Find links to all of them here
