Full Moon Girls

Dhyana Miller assisted by Louisa Pugh is diving into another season of Full Moon Girls—a nature immersion program for girls ages 11-16 and now open for 8-10. In an all female setting, teen and adolescent girls have an opportunity to explore and claim their own power and their relationship with nature and the skills of caretaking themselves and the natural world. Activities include tracking natural mysteries, adventuring, preparing herbal remedies, games, building friction fires, harvesting delicious wild edibles, singing, carving bone, stone & wood, experiencing empowerment in meeting edges and much more. This intimate program supports quality, one-on-one connection to guide teen and pre-teen girls through their transitional time of life. We encourage any girl who wants to connect with nature, herself, other girls and women mentors to apply.

New offer! Up to 50% off your tuition for referring other participants. We will refund you 10% per referral on enrollment of up to five referred friends. To ensure this experience for your daughter, return completed registration form with deposit by January 15th.
