Welcome
I’m Alex Whyte and I’m so thrilled you are here~
Sisters of The Rose is a space for women and girls to learn, create, and blossom together. One day I will have offerings for women, The Sisters, but in this season The Daughters are calling me in. Daughters of The Rose (DOTR) is my offering to the girls in my community to know themselves from the inside out, to understand the inner workings of their bodies, hearts, minds and spirits.
In 2019 I had the opportunity to offer these teachings with a group of 6th grade students that attended the Waldorf School of San Diego. Many of these families were in my community and we all shared a desire for the kids around us to be raised with a solid understanding and awareness of their bodies. I offered to teach because the realms of women’s health and healing have been a deep seated interested of mine for my entire adult life. I’ve been on a self-guided educational journey with the aid of many books, courses, workshops, and sessions with wise women to learn many facets of the feminine, and many layers of deeper acceptance of our cyclical nature. My biggest teachers however, have been my own life, my own rites of passage through menarche, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and step mothering. My personal experience as a woman has brought me the opportunities that lead to the information and transformations of my own divine evolution.
I continued to share with individual families casually over the years and in 2023 I was invited by Kidwings Nature School to come teach anatomy and menstruation at the My First Moon Summer Camp. It was a blast and reinvigorated my zest for connecting with this age group and ignited what I now recognize as a deep soul calling. I was honored when I was asked to facilitate more of the Kidwings camp the following year, 2024. I collaborated more and was there to participate as facilitator for the whole week. It was such a beautiful experience. They continue to offer their camp and are doing great work in the world, I encourage everyone to take a peek at their many offerings. Last fall Treehouse Academy asked me host a 6 week after-school series which was a fun experiment, also sponsored by Kidwings. This year, I now am following my personal calling and hoping to expand the outreach of these kinds of offerings, as every girl should have the opportunity to learn in a safe, sacred, and playful space. This is where my heart’s path is calling me…
I am dedicated to guiding girls to connect with their inner wisdom and embrace their cyclical nature. I want each girl to love the body she’s in, understand its language, and walk with confidence through her ever changing life. We are shaking off the shackles of shame, confusion, disgust and mistrust. I see the path forward where girls are brought up in love, respect and appreciation for every. single. part of themselves. I’m here humbly, answering my own call to help create the world I want for my own kids and community.
“We need to be guardians of the gateways of menarche, birth, menopause and death to heal the wounded feminine. Being and doing this is the spiritual practice of being female...”
