Yes, both men and women are there are we usually have a male and female pourer holding the lodge - the balance of the masculine and feminine. There may be certain lodges that are female or male only and that is communicated in the email list.

Can my child come?

Children are welcome if you feel they are mentally and physically prepared for this experience.

Can I come if I am on my moon time? (bleeding)

We leave it up to the individual to decide what feels the best for her body. You are welcome to attend ceremonies when you are mooning - it will intensify the ceremony for you and the purification. Not all lodges allow this but we do. If you do not wish to attend ceremony on your moon time that is a personal decision - we support you either way.
