In the age of social media, these programs offer a sanctuary for young women to unplug from cultural expectations & establish a deep connection to nature that becomes a taproot to their true nature. With Johannah as a guide, my girls have learned to dig beyond the surface to discover the essence of their unique gifts.

Honor the WELL of wisdom you hold & BECOME the VILLAGE AUNTIE our daughters & girls need
This 10-month initiatory journey will give you the tools, knowledge, facilitation skills, rituals, ceremonies, curriculum, and a (proven to be successful) business model to run your very own Girls Groups.
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. 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 changes and challenges 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 adolescence, and bring healing and perspective to those challenging 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 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.
