Here's the scoop
WHAT INSPIRED THE GROUP?
The teen years can be full of pressure, comparison, and constant noise from social media. This 4-week small-group experience offers something different: a space where teens can slow down, get outside, create, and build confidence in who they are.
Through writing, art-making, nature exploration, and mindfulness, participants learn practical tools for managing stress, expressing themselves, and connecting with others in a supportive environment.
WHY IT MATTERS?
Many teens today spend hours on screens but have fewer opportunities to connect with themselves, with nature, and with peers in meaningful ways. This experience is designed to help teens step away from constant digital stimulation and reconnect with creativity, curiosity, and confidence.

Hi I am so excited to host this group. I was once a teen girl and I know how rough it can be. I am now a mother to two daughters, I am a sister, and a daughter myself. The teen version of myself still lives inside me and hopes to build a soft place to land for her and other teen girls, both past and present.
As a forever craft loving art-maker, a former forest school educator and now licensed mental health counselor, my hope is to combine nature, art and supportive mental health practices in this group offering for teen girls as a reminder that they already have all the resources they need within themselves.
