Rites of Passage Peer to Peer: We are who we are together
I am what I am.
I am a bridge. I am a thread that weaves connections.
Rites of Passage Poem, 2009
Girls aged 11-14 and mothers and other women who mentor girls come together to learn from and with each other through creative writing and arts activities, guided discussion, experiences of nature, meditation/reflection and other activities .
Grailville and Nzuzu, a life coaching organization, are pleased to invite girls and their adult mentors (e.g., mother, aunt, grandmother, sister and/or friend) to Grailville for Rites of Passage Peer to Peer on Saturday, September 18, 2010 from 10 am–1 pm. Relax in the company of women!
In this "Peer to Peer Workshop" girls will come together for sharing, transformation and celebration and adult women will meet in a separate group to do the same. The event will end with sharing between the two groups and a delicious Grailville lunch.
Topics include:
- Who are we and how can we stay true to ourselves?
- What do we face everyday that supports and challenges us to become the young women we want to be?
Girls and women are welcome with or without a mom/daughter in tow. Led by Rites of Passage co-leaders Beth Barr, Pauletta Hansel and Quanita Munday. Bring questions, ideas, stories and your desire to learn together about this important transition in their, and your, lives. Mothers, aunts, grandmothers, sisters, social workers and other adult friends of teen girls are welcome.
Co-facilitators are:
Beth Barr, Co-Director of Grailville and a Licensed Independent Social Worker specializing in supportive services and advocacy for women and girls.
Pauletta Hansel, also Co-Director of Grailville, a poet and teacher who leads creative writing activities with an emphasis on programs for women and girls.
Quanita Munday, an Integral Life Coach, and director and founder of Nzuzu LLC, committed to building stronger circles of women around the world, with experience in facilitation in the arts, diversity education, asset based community development, youth development, and building effective collaborations.
Rites of Passage gatherings are designed to support the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual journey of girls on the path to womanhood. Programs help girls make a positive, healthy, self-aware and self-sufficient transition into young adulthood. Join us for sharing, transformation and celebration of the women our girls are becoming!
