Workshop Descriptions
Opening Ceremony/Red Tent with Emily Jasenski
During this unique experience each girl will be invited into a circle where they will learn sacred songs, active listening skills and how to hold a sacred container for others.
​
Sound & Nature with Michelle Hickman
After a soothing sound meditation with singing bowls, tuning forks, and gong, we will create a nature mandala. A nature mandala is a circular symbol created with things found in nature. Creating a mandala gives us time to slow down and space to intentionally express gratitude toward cycles and rhythms we find in nature, reminding us that we are all connected.

Intro to Energy & You with Emily Jasenski
Have you ever wondered why some people just don't get along, no matter how hard they try? Have you had moments where you feel unheard, unseen, or somehow, disconnected from others around you? Perhaps you have moments where you feel like the world around you is extra, extra loud, extra intense and you get overwhelmed easily? This class is for you! We will explore open/closed/neutral energy and what this means in everyday life. We will then use this new found awareness to cultivate tools to ehlp us better undertand and communicate with the world around us.
