Facilitated by Emily Frost, Quetzal Francois or our Apprentice, Isabella Masterson. Workshops designed for girls* 5th-12th grade. Workshops can also be designed for mothers and daughters together. In the past this has included more of an art focus, such as mask-making, earth chimes, and other seasonal crafts. Workshops are typically 3 hours. Cost depends on time, location, and group size.

"This weekend really opened my eyes up to how special we should feel to be a woman. In today's society it's easy to forget what it really means to be a woman. I appreciate everything that I have learned..." - Real Talk Teen

"We are teaching girls how to have experiences that end in joy and honor, rather than regret, guilt, or shame. Youth need to understand what joy and regret really look like for them. We need to 'reflect and revise' what really matters. This work is so important!" - Charis Denison, youth advocate, founder of Prajna Consulting, featured in Peggy Orenstein's Girls & Sex, Advisor to Love Your Nature

"We need to be talking about balancing responsibility and joy, not just risk, disease, pregnancy and consent. Sexuality can be a source of self-knowledge, creativity and power. It can be safe, free from violence and dehumanization. We must encourage girls to have a voice. We must support intimate justice." - Peggy Orenstein, author of Girls & Sex
