Throughout the year, young women have the opportunity to participate in this special youth mentor-ship intensive.
Anxiety, social pressure and toxic relationships are added daily to the already long list of challenges young people face in today's world.
In this age of gender fluidity and struggle to create a more gender neutral society,
Why focus just on girls?

This circle focuses on building community and learning tools and skills for navigating the choppy waters of adolescence. We create a healthy and real network of friends and mentors that will be there for this month and on into the future.
The initial course - Navigating Deep Waters - touches on topics like "what exactly is going on in our bodies? How do we navigate our relationships? What do we do with all these new thoughts, now that our world is expanding? and Who do we want to BE in the world?"
This group spotlights basic tools from A-Alignment and B-Boundaries for surviving and thriving in the world using movement, writing, meditation and imagery as a springboard for empowerment and inner reflection.
The next level - Deep Dive - is for teens who have already taken Navigating Deep Waters and are ready to go further. Here we talk about the tough stuff. Negative self talk, gender and sexuality, how to manage anxiety, distorted self image and what to do with all these hormones coursing through our newly adult bodies! Not to mention managing the social media maze while still empowering self love.
Each course meets four times for 1.5 hours, and grants your teen access to our ongoing, monthly circles and secure and private communication platform.
