Girls' Rites of Passage
April 21 - June 11th 2010
Bend, Oregon

There is still room for our divine feminine girls to attend!   The "Girls Rites of Passage" provides a space for support and awakening of the divine feminine, and is created for girls 5th-8th grade.  It is facilitated by Sweet Medicine.  www.fwfoundation.com  or   wwwthefourelements.org  This is a 6 course, 1 1/2 hour per session meeting beginning after school April 21 and ending June 11, with an evening ceremony involving mothers, older sisters, aunties, grandmothers and feminine lineage.  The cost will be $90, and if you bring a friend deduct $10 (for your friend too!)! This will be an interactive, hands-on curriculum acknowledging and teaching 'The Rites of Passage' of being a girl and coming into maidenhood.   The curriculum offers:  Body teaching, moon cycle comparison in nature;  Respect and awareness including body image and what this means;  Responsibilities of maidenhood, knowing boundaries and saying No, and issues regarding guardianship of our being;  Beauty reflection (inner and outer), authenticity, and Divinity in "being";  The final class will be an evening ceremony reinforcing the girl's connection to the women in her family and to celebrate and strengthen her trust in her own intuition and beauty.  It involves the mother and elder lineage (older sisters, aunties, grandmothers, great grandmothers) of the girl and interactive participation of the mother in assisting their daughters to cross the thresh-hold of moving from Girl to Maiden.
