Awakening to
our True Nature, together…
We offer initiatory programs and trainings designed to enrich the youth’s social and emotional life by providing a safe container for them to connect with their peers and explore the deeper facets of self and culture.
Through ongoing, village-style mentorship, we use the age old wisdom of the natural world, myth, the expressive arts, and council to ground us in a felt sense of belonging and authenticity as we dive into the mysteries of our own becoming in relationship to the greater, other than human world…
Our 2024-25 Offerings
GIRLS GROUPS
At Wakeful Nature we provide a safe haven for those who identify as girls transitioning from childhood to adolescence. In a culture that overlooks the significant transition from childhood into adolescence, we have created a developmentally appropriate map to mark and honor this threshold.
Through ceremony & ritual, nature connection, and the expressive arts in Girls Group, we offer a space for girls on the cusp of adolescence to explore the mysteries of the feminine, self-discovery, and inquiry into culture and belonging.
GIRLS GROUP

SUMMER CAMPS
Our summer programing serves girls ages 4-14. Every camp is centered around a unique, age-appropriate theme, and uses the age old wisdom of storytelling, craft, music, movement, medicine making, and nature connection.
Join us as we build a supportive community, fostering self-discovery and connection for young girls in an environment that celebrates both their individuality and collective, creative spirit.
