Girls Circles

The purpose of my work is to support families to raise physically intelligent and brave-hearted girls so that they grow into empowered women.

Coming of Age is a girls circle designed for girls ages 10-13 to cultivate assertiveness, compassion, body wisdom, and empowerment. During the six week series, in person meetings are held to connect through discussion, learn about the female archetype through historical myths, engage in creative activities such as art, yoga, and visual journaling, and grow together. The girls will have lessons about puberty and honoring the sacredness of menstruation. This circle will foster an intentional journey towards womanhood.

“My 8 year old daughter really enjoyed the girls circle. We found it at a pivotal time when she was struggling in the midst of her parents‘ separation. It was a safe, calm, uplifting space for her and she says she really enjoyed the art, yoga, and “being social” with other girls.”
