1000's of girls in our community are beginning their journey into womanhood. Let us teach them the skills they need to navigate their way through the many changes they are already beginning to feel.
This can be both an exhilarating and confusing time, so connecting in a small group, learning about the cycles of nature, expressing their creativity through art and positive body movement, and understanding their emotions can bring understanding and peace not only to them but also to you as a parent. As part of the program, you'll be invited to participate in a connection circle with your daughter (one for mothers and one for fathers/male role models), so you can learn about the process the girls will be working through.
In the My Amazing Body program girls are rising up to celebrate their bodies. Girls will be invited to tune into the guidance of their five senses as we explore the systems of the body through creative art projects and interactive nature connection activities with body movement.
Session Topics
Sight - Body Image - How do we view ourselves and others?
Sound - Listening to outer and inner voice - Self Expression
Touch - Feelings - Connection with Emotions and Body Sovereignty
Taste - Digestion - Intentional Eating of Healthy Foods / Gratitude for Clean Water
Smell - Respiratory- Breath-Work - Cycles in Nature
The more that we connect with nature, the more we are tuning our 5 senses and our sense of inner knowing or intuition.
