Who Am I
I'm Jumana. A daughter of immigrants, an Indian - Muslim woman and another Human. Too vast to be put into a paragraph. I love thinking, reading, relating, dancing and cooking. I love feeling things and being moved by something greater than me.
The essence of my work is that I facilitate deep, downward shifts and challenge your status quo to help you be who you authentically are.
The tools I choose to use (the menstrual cycle) are the ones that we've discarded over time because, in actuality, we are scared of them.
I'm a student to institutional education, including tertiary.I've excelled academically. I can say, hand on heart, that it hasn't enriched me. My real teachers are my heritage and my intuition. My deep-time history, and my voracious self-learning. For that, there's no certificate to show. Instead, I make people feel Seen for who they are, and that's my certificate.I am a challenger of systems. I decondition and decolonise.
Who is BIJA RUH . . .
Bija Ruh is a coming together of women/menstrual bleeders to greater understand their bodies and the gift that is our cycle.
It is a wayfinder for the travellers on the path to uncovering the essence of their womanhood and a portal to bleed a new, regenerative way of living that puts our wombs at the forefront of our lives, as we explore the unique, cyclical mysticism of our bodies and the Earth.
I am here in reverence to all that have been shunned by the fractured systems we currently live under, looking to decondition society and educate all on the importance of menstrual cycles and their impact on our feelings and way of living.
No longer shall we ignore and dull our way of being to exist in a world created by The Patriarchy. We stand tall and embrace our differences and utilise this power towards a greater more authentic way of living
