Earth Within Girls
Earth Within Girls (EWG) is a 503C non-profit organization and was founded in 2020 and works to inspire adolescent girls and women to connect their internal cycles to the natural environment by providing accessible, prevention-based hormonal literacy tools so they can thrive. Most girls and women are only provided with cursory understanding of their bodies, hormonal health and menstrual cycles.

From Earth Within Girls:
We share plant wisdom primarily based in western herbalism, the practice of using natural plant matter as food and prevention of illness. This is knowledge grounded in European, American and Native American plant healing properties. A big component of our work is to give our participants space to create an intuitive connection with plants through sensory exploration. When using native plants, we honor and share the local tribes’ cultural use by giving acknowledgement that this knowledge came from them and that we must be respectful of the land.
After-School Programs
Our programs foster learning beyond the classroom by providing tangible take-home art and hormonal wellness self-care tools such as moon cycle bracelets, journals and nourishing honey infusions and skin care products children can take home and make again and again. In Spring 2024 we can be found at C.S. Porter and Target Range Middle Schools for 8-week after-school programs, as well as co-facilitating Soft Landing’s High School Girls Leadership Program.
Summer Camps
Our summer programs are hosted through Missoula County Parks & Recreation. Each program consists of fun do-it-yourself activities prioritizing hands-on, sensory-engaging materials for each project ranging from essential oils, local herbs and native plants, wild medicine kits, wild dye with moon plants, and moon mandalas.
Caretaker-Daughter Workshops
Our Caretaker-Daughter workshops are offered monthly in collaboration with woman-owned local businesses. Workshops empower participants to learn hands-on with activities such as pressed flower moon journals, song circles, and wildflower meditation. These programs are a beautiful blend of women supporting women in community.
Events
Our events aim to increase accessibility to hormonal literacy across all age groups. We host monthly and quarterly Womben wellness nights with local holistic healthcare professionals. Our educational and celebratory events throughout the year include International Women’s Day, Earth Day, Solstice and Equinox Series, and Fundraisers like our annual Family Photoshoot.
