This series is structured to explore the stages of adolescent rites of passage, and each workshop will include facilitated discussion, creative prompts, embodied and reflective practices, resource/inspiration sharing and peer support.

Separation– In sessions 1 & 2 we will co-create our community and define shared practices and expectations. We will map change and locate our spaces of liminality, and explore how to hold complexity, grief and gratitude for the past and our past selves.

Transition – In sessions 3 & 4 we will reconnect with and tend to our teen selves, unpacking fear, risk, and courage and tapping into our subversion and creative powers to cast spells and build worlds.

Incorporation– In session 5 & 6 we will gather the objects of our survival to build altars and prepare for new beginnings and next chapters. We will be witnessed and supported by our community as we share and celebrate our growth and becoming. 

You can expect our shared space to be:

Tender- We will practice tenderness toward each other and ourselves, including our younger selves, our messy selves, and our growing selves.

Transparent- We will practice radical honesty, vulnerability, and accountability for our words and actions, to the group, and to the truth.

Transgressive- We will question assumptions, name and challenge systems and white dominant/patrearchal/cis-hetero norms, bring our curiosity to get to the root and imagine possibilities beyond binaries.
