WHAT WE DO

Picture
Program goals

~ improved communication and relationships
~ increased sense of connection
~ improved self-worth and confidence 
~ clearer sense of identity and purpose


How we do it

~ come together in community
~ 4 days without electronics or other distractions
~ implement a unique program based on the well accepted Rites of Passage framework taught by The Rites Of Passage Institute
~ incorporate into the program design knowledge and experience of working with teenage girls and research on girls' Rites of Passage
~ apply social work frameworks of critical theory and feminist theory in order to recognise how the wider culture hinders young women and consider how our work can contribute to not just individual, but cultural changes
~ honour and celebrate the transition between childhood and adulthood
~ honour and celebrate the gifts, value, and contributions of each girl and woman

"The retreat was amazing. I believe every teenage girl should do this with her mother because it really holds you as you are. I feel I will become, and it has helped me become, a better person." Charlotte, 14

"I also look back on the retreat as my best opportunity to make sure that as Amy and I diverge paths, that our connection stays strong." Jenna, Mum

"Since the retreat I have felt that the communication between Lydia and I has remained strong. We certainly have a much better connection in the sense of understanding each other and getting along significantly better." Shiraz, Mum
