Gaia Girls Immersion (9 - 12yrs)

This 4 day immersive gathering has been designed for girls between 9 - 12yrs, offering a safe space in which each individual can explore and develop their personal gifts, as well as a community that explores themes around Belonging, Courage, Empathy, Authenticity and Connection. Nature offers the perfect place for us to practice self-acceptance as well as to recognize where our 'edges' are so that the girls can discern for themselves where risks may lie, and have the opportunity to make informed decisions of what feels right for them, so they feel empowered to apply this conviction in other areas of their life.  

We do this through Nature connection practices & games, walking, bouldering, hiking, bushcraft skills such as learning to build shelters, campfires, carving & whittling, tea ceremony and specific communication tools to invite inclusion, understanding, conflict resolution and self-awareness in the natural world.  

These gatherings act as a gentle way of bringing awareness to self-limiting beliefs, explore cultural conditioning, offer opportunities to expand comfort zones and just experience safety within a group to show up and be celebrated for being our true selves.
