Earth Caretaker School

Girl’s Rite of Passage

We help girls move from childhood to young women in a conscious way.

Cost: $975
Date(s): June 26, 2021 to July 2, 2021
Teacher(s): Jean Sage, Rosie Hope

The focus of this week is to help bridge the path of maturing girls from childhood to young adults. This class will use ceremony, nature awareness, nature skills and life skills to encourage girls to become more self-reliant and make their own way in the world as young women of honor. Throughout this week through their group activities and focused experiences, mentoring and solo, quality time in nature they will gain the skills to feel confident in their own personal power.

We are very excited to offer rite of passages to our young people. This conscious life step has been mostly lost in our culture. It has become vitally obvious that positive mentors through this stage of life is needed more than ever. It does take a village of strong, open-hearted mentors to assist in the positive growth of our youth into self-reliant and compassionate adults.

This Rite of Passage is open to students 13 years through 18 years old.

Call for 530-938-1304 for more details.

“My first winter class back in ’93 was a monumental event in my life, as my journal reveals. My connection to the Earth was so powerful (right then). I owe much of that to Tim and his presence with Nature.”
