Girl Luxe: Enrichment Weekend

This time can be incredibly difficult as pre-teen girls transition from childhood to adolescence. Along with the physical changes, there are an immense amount of emotional and mental changes occurring within pre-teens.

Discussions will include how to navigate this difficult time by providing guidance on coping mechanisms, emphasizing the importance of seeking support, and lessons on how to best respond to peer and social issues using emotional intelligence. Most importantly, this event will work to encourage each young lady to identify the importance of a healthy lifestyle based on self care and addressing mental, emotional, and physical health.

During this two-day experience guests will learn yoga led by Kirsten Johnson, Community Organizer and Founder of of Yoga Moves Us. During this session the ladies will practice their “I am” affirmations to build confidence.

There will be a workshop experience discussing the importance of sisterhood and growth mindset, led by Marianna Sousa, Author and Founder of Mariworks Productions, a multimedia arts and education organization. Her mission is to boost self-awareness and restorative practices with an emphasis on mental health, safety awareness and crisis prevention.

Finally, there will also be arts and crafts activity sessions to practice mindfulness and creativity, a lesson on physical health, and the advantages of journaling.

Note: Lunch will be provided.
