Coming of Age Circles
Come Join us Teens Aged 12-15
A 12-Week Course, Mondays 7:00-8:30
In our ancient times, we celebrated a girl's coming of age as a powerful rite of passage and shared the unique wisdom of becoming a woman with all of the rich mystery and wisdom that we contain in our bodies, hearts and our innate connection to nature and her cycles of life.
Nature's Loving Embrace circles encourages the beauty and mystery of being strong, loving, embodied and confident young women able come back to ourselves, centred in our bodies and hearts and reclaiming our power from within.
This is a very special and important opportunity for teens to gather among themselves, experience how nurturing it is to be supported, accepted, held and heard by others in a safe and supportive group of young women. It allows them to sink deeply into sisterhood and the mysteries of becoming a woman, safely held and guided by supportive mentors.
The need for a rite of passage from childhood to adulthood is a biological one. If our adolescent self does not sufficiently risk itself to be seen and acknowledged by the larger community of adults, we will continue this yearning, this quest into adulthood and carry with us a sense of incompleteness. This is why so many of our teens in our culture act-out (or take self harming risks) as they are striving to be seen and honoured in this moment of passage in their life where they are passing from childhood into adulthood.

Celebrating Coming of Age
Circle & Workshop Structure
Each Circle & Workshop is trauma sensitive and held in a compassionate container, honouring each individual's experience, needs and emotions. In circle, everyone is respected as equal and therefore structure is to support in loving respect of all that are present, allowing equal time for everyone. There is a time for relaxation, introspection, and participation in planned activities focused on feminine wisdom and nature that are supportive of the theme of each particular gathering. Each woman can can always choose and honour what feels right for her in each moment. One may participate or simply 'be,' anytime she feels called. In Nature's Loving Embrace, you will feel seen, felt, honoured, and celebrated in who you are without having to be anything other than you are in that moment. We practice deep listening without trying to fix others. One receives a sense of truly being seen with understanding and compassion, which is an important human need that is often not met in our modern culture.
You are honoured as whole and this allows you to access you own inner wisdom.
Compassionate Support like No Other
In Nature's Loving Embrace Circles, you can be vulnerable and you don't have to worry about what anyone thinks. Whatever happens in the Circle is very confidential. This is a safe place where everyone is accepted as an equal, sharing our human experience of coming of age. In this space, we're all caring, we're all understanding, we're sharing your journey and we all know that adolescence can be challenging, but that there are tremendous gifts of wisdom waiting to be opened.
The Circle is your space to celebrate the beautiful young woman you are. Even when you're finding it a little bit difficult, within the Circle, you can reset and find balance and work out where it is you want to get to and how. You learn how to access and connect to your own inner wisdom so that you can make the right choices for yourself in your life.
These circles are held in a very compassionate, safe container and empowering Coming of Age topics are explored through discussion, artful ceremony, myth & joyful engagement.
Our circles are a safe space where we respect each other for our uniqueness and never judge, allowing the healing, growth, inner wisdom and peacefulness to unfold naturally for ourselves and for those around us.
Through holding space for one another, we practice this essential skill of loving presence that we can then use in our friendships, future partnership and as parents one day. This deeply present connection to one another is a restorative gift and provides an essential base in the positive development of our lives.
