We are forming a generation of girls who...
Would you like to join us in bringing menstrual cycle and period education to your community that is:
age-appropriate
scientifically-accurate
body positive, and
developed by a Catholic mom (and NFP instructor)?!
Before you dive in, here's a quick snapshot of the key differences between GROUP HOSTING—which means purchasing an annual license to show the CYCLE PREP videos in a group setting—and LIVE WORKSHOPS with a licensed, trained facilitator:
Please note: Live workshop deliverability depends on the availability of trained facilitators in your area. The Group Hosting license is always available. Jump to Live Workshop section to view facilitator map.
GROUP HOSTING— Annual Licensing
Get started TODAY with our easy "just push play" option!
Cycle Prep is a nationally-acclaimed video course, which can easily be used by organizations through our annual licensing options. All you need is a "host" who is willing to coordinate a group viewing and push "play" for everyone to experience the course together!
Your Group Host simply needs to:
- Ensure you have internet access to play the videos for your event
- Download and print the accompanying materials for the families
- Hold the viewing event at a time when parents can be present, as this is designed to be a family presentation and not something for the girls themselves
- Uphold the association of this program with the Pearl & Thistle brand, by not offering CYCLE PREP in conjunction with programs that contradict the teachings of the Catholic Church

testimonials for group hosting:
CATHOLIC MIDDLE SCHOOL, MASSACHUSETTS
group program hosted by the school principal
"The moms in our community shared in unison that they wish they had this course when they were young! This was an immense blessing for our school, as girls' first cycles bring a few challenges to our middle school experience. I appreciated being able to go through each video at a pace that made sense for us, while allowing moms to share experiences and even concerns they had for their daughters."
DIOCESAN NFP OFFICE
group program hosted by diocesan coordinator
"Parents are very interested in this program, especially mothers. They will carve out the time and travel, even hours, to attend Cycle Prep with their daughters. Cycle Prep sets girls on a trajectory with the support of their parents to live as the healthy, vibrant, virtuous, and one day fertile women God created them to be!"
Group hosting includes access to ALL videos and handouts:

Not sure what to say or afraid you'll get tongue-tied? I make it super easy for you to facilitate conversations around what you learn in each video module.

Love event planning, but hate marketing? I've got you covered with flyers and Canva social media templates to get the word out about.

Group License Fee Structure
Group Hosting annual licenses are purchased based on the number of families you expect to serve during the course of a year, not the number of times you expect to run the program.
CYCLE PREP group options are great for:
Schools or parishes, to host as an opt-in program for parents + daughters
Scouting groups or gatherings about body changes or self-care
Faith Formation or homeschool co-op groups
Catholic medical clinics or community education centers
A special gathering of friends, in the comfort of your home!
Why Cycle Prep?
And most importantly, it's parent-focused. Integral to the program is parents learning together with their daughters so that they can continue these conversations long past your group's event.

If you'd like to experience CYCLE PREP as a live workshop in your parish, school, or other community gathering, contact one of our licensed facilitators to inquire about availability and rates!
If you are interested in being trained as a CYCLE PREP facilitator, please sign up for our email notification list! Facilitator training runs semi-annually. Note that applicants must either have attended a live workshop, a group-hosted viewing, or viewed the at-home CYCLE PREP course as a pre-requisite for acceptance into the training program.
Presenting Cycle Prep in a religious setting? I highly recommend supplementing the video modules with a FREE mini video course called "Made in His Image: Pint-Sized TOB for Catholic Families"
Paired with Cycle Prep, it takes the biological conversations around menstruation and cycles a step further by placing them in the context of God's design for the body.
When you contact me about your group license needs, let me know if you would like to add "Made in His Image" to your group hosting and I will add your free access!
