JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR EXCLUSIVE EARLY BIRD PRICING
BEFORE DOORS OPEN (only 1x this year) - JULY, 17th

Something beautiful is happening…

Women are reclaiming the initiatory rites
& wisdom that they were not given.

That which is our birthright.

Will you be a pioneer
in this Initiatory Reclamation?

If the answer is Hell YES…

Then you are in the right place

At Wakeful Nature, we’ve been leading the movement to reimagine what it means to support girls at the threshold of maidenhood—offering a soulcentric, earth-based curriculum that meets the spiritual & practical needs of girls & families today.

Rest assured, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. This online training gives you everything you need to lead age-appropriate Girls Groups and Rites of Passage for girls & gender expansive youth in your community.

If you feel the call to this village-minded work, now is the time to honor your unique gifts and step into your role as a Village Auntie and cultural change-maker on behalf of a more beautiful, thriving world.

The girls in your community are quite literally waiting for you.

The time is now, that we offer this path of reclamation in service to our future generations.

So the next generation won’t have to unlearn and relearn what you did.
Instead, they can grow into women who know themselves deeply—
and walk confidently toward their soul’s purpose.

Let’s give them the lived experience of being held, guided, and truly seen by their village.
We are wired for this.

It is up to us to create the world we want to belong to—for our youth, our ancestors, the earth,
& all life…

Together, let us rise as matriarchal leaders; women of depth, integrity, and in service to the future women…this is how it’s meant to be done.

And yes, it also takes practical tools, relational skills, and embodied presence to guide girls through this potent, overlooked stage of life.

For just 13 women, this intimate training offers personal healing, professional training, and the chance to earn back your investment within months through one thriving group.

Our girls are hungry for belonging & authentic relationships.

This work is part of the answer.

This training is a gift to your soul and in turn, a gift to the world!”

This year-long journey gives you everything you need to run your own Girls Groups:

Facilitation skills, Curriculum, Rituals, Songs, Crafts, Games, and a proven business model that supports your soul’s purpose.

Born from the call to re-village our world, this training invites you to mentor and initiate girls as they cross the threshold into adolescence—while also tending to the unmet parts of your own teen years.

ANCESTRAL MAPS to remembrance

We do this through rekindling the old ways, such as: the art of storytelling, craft, council, ritual, ceremony, deep nature connection, embodiment and song. Together we court the old ways of our people, so we can rise as Matriarchal leaders who are well resourced with embodied, meaningful gifts to share with the girls.

BONUSES: The art of storytelling, ancestral crafts, & inspiring guest teachers

02

Ceremonial Rites of Passage for our girls

We will explore the landscape of human and soul development through the lens of what puberty adolescence truly need—and how the pillars of Rites of Passage support a healthy journey through. In this module, we dive deep into their developmental needs for education around: puberty, sexuality, relationships, & self expression. You will leave with a robust understanding of this complex and critical phase of life along with the ceremonies and Rites of Passage that support a healthy journey through.

    — Benjamin Buren

This training arose out of the impulse for our collective need to re-village ourselves by way of mentoring, guiding, and initiating our girls…and lets be honest, in the spirit of reciprocity—making a living doing so!

It’s through the inner work, deep listening, & holy tending that we rise as a Matriarchal Leader - a woman worthy of imitation - a woman who knows herself and has integrated wisdom to share with the next generation. Yet it also takes a pocket full of tools, skills, understanding, and finesse to work with preteen and teen girls as they leave behind the wonder of childhood and step into the confusing waters of adolescence.

For an intimate group of you (there are only 13 seats), we provide a safe container to dive into the unintegrated parts of your own girlhood, to bring healing and perspective to those formative years.

This stage of life is generally overlooked and labelled as “challenging.” Because of this, in tandem with our villageless lifestyles, our girls are in sincere need of support and guidance. They are hungry for belonging.

Through this training you will be a part of the solution while bringing in extra income you and/or your family needs. Your investment can pay itself off in a matter of months with just one thriving girls group.

THE WOMAN BEHIND WAKEFUL NATURE

Hey beauty, I'm johannah…

11 years ago I started Wakeful Nature as a means to filling an initiatory void in our culture. As a girl traversing the complex landscapes of adolescence, I was alone and found ways to self-initiate.

As you most likely did too…

Too many of us did this, and I felt the youth in my life needed and deserved so much more. Not only did they need Rites of Passage, but they needed ongoing mentorship and a welcome sanctuary—to explore who they are and are becoming. Their needs directly informed the birth of “Girls Group.”

Over the years this work has evolved and grown into a successful business model that can provide you with good income while working outside of the dominant, industrial work complex that is inherently against our cycling nature. This model and work will lend itself to you living in service while creating abundance in your life.

I am over the moon to now share this offering, very much birthed from my heart and soul, as well as share the lessons, trials, & skills I’ve cultivated over the past twenty years as an educator with a very select few of you. Because the world needs more sanctuaries led and held by embodied, loving, soulcentric women…especially for our youth—our future.

I am here to support you in becoming the Village Auntie and cultural change-maker you were born to be—on behalf of a more beautiful, thriving world.
