“Mama Bears” Women’s Circle
On the same Saturdays that the Women and Sisters are gathering, from 4-6, mothers are invited to join us in the woods! We will relax in our sit spots, work on nature-based skills through outdoor adventures and the expressive arts and enjoy each others company. Then we’ll welcome the girls (in the SOF/WOF program above) in at the end of our evening for a GIANT gratitude circle, and songs (of course!).
2018-2019 Dates (one Saturday/month, 12 – 6 PM): 9/15, 10/19-10/20 (overnight), 11/10, 12/15, 1/26, 2/23, 3/23, 4/27, 5/18, 6/28-6/29 (overnight)
Mentor: Julie Kulik, and guest instructors.
Location: South Hill Recreation Way
Price: Program is free if a daughter or son is in the other programs running that day, otherwise, there is a $25/session fee
Brothers of the Woods
Brothers of the Woods is a mirror to our Sisters of the Forest/ Women of the Forest program for boys ages 9 and up. Boys, together with their leaders/mentors, will be embarking on quest to find a deeper understanding of, and connection to, themselves, their peers, their community, and the Earth. Through hands on projects, adventure challenges and cooperative group games, the boys will walk the path of the Hero. Along the way they will be supported to find courage and strength, and to use these as tools to unlock their unique personal power. On this journey, respect, sensitivity, and compassion will be just as important as physical strength, endurance, and awareness.
