Love Your Nature offers guidance to teens, young adults and their parents as they navigate the complexity of growing up and raising girls* in these times. We are a community engaged in living and leading with love. With our attuned guidance, participants practice authentic self expression, cultivate confidence, and share honest conversations. Our Real Talk Curriculum seeds essential life skills to help young people make choices that truly serve them. Youth graduate from the Love Your Nature community with a secure sense of self, knowing they are worthy of love and respect.
All groups are facilitated by Emily Frost & Quetzal Francois. Our partnership models strength in difference, the power of our sisterhood, and collaborative leadership. Our program is designed to be a school-year long commitment. The same small group stays together for 1+ years. This is how we build a "village" to hold the teens' coming of age process. Groups have limited spaces due to high re-enrollment rate. Teens should attend all or as many gatherings as possible. Parents who attend Parent Meetings often feel less alone, gain useful skills and are nourished by the shared journey. The whole family benefits when everyone shows up to the program.
