For girls 10-14: Does the Earth
speak to you? The wind or water? Join us during summer solstice for a
journey with the goddesses of earth, air, fire, and water, an
exploration
of Earth-based
ceremony, and an adventure into living with the Earth. Every day takes
us through the fields and forests and to one of the
sacred sites at the Star House on a journey with the elements and the
mysteries of nature. Girls develop intuition,
build friendships, and gain an understanding of how to bring the
healing power of nature into their lives.

respectfully, while building community with nature and each other.
