The Moon Tribe - April 16-18

Creating meaningful experiences girls need

Grounded in Nature
Empowered within
Bright Light Shining into the World.

The Moontribe is the beginning of a journey……. a passageway experience, for girls transitioning into womanhood. This weekend getaway is a rite of passage, honoring each girl for who she is and who she is becoming. There is a true need in our young people for initiation and passageway into adulthood and we seek to bring this back to our children. This weekend will serve as a grounding for our girls built on trust, support and common ground- all based around meaningful earth based mentoring. We will create a safe nurturing space and explore the depths of what it means to be a woman in todays world and create the space for her authentic self to emerge. Here we will forge a network of support built between the girls and between the girls and their mentors. Sure to be a fun, transformative, and empowering experience, where girls can walk into their lives with greater awareness, confidence and sense of purpose .
