A Coming of Age Discovery for Young Girls
Fun, Creative, Empowering
Our vision for Wise Sister Circles is to support girls to grow into confident and informed women. It offers a journey of discovery for young girls aged 10-12 b to learn, have fun, create, connect, to be empowered and a place where they can be exactly who they are.
We actively explore:
Healthy relationships
Assertiveness
Body sovereignty & consent
Exploring and understanding the physiological and emotional changes to girls and boys during puberty
Honouring menarche (first bleed) and menstruation
Cultivating intuition and our inner wisdom
Growing self esteem as we strengthen connection to self, to others, and to the world around us.
Circles include:
Minimum 6 - Maximum 10 girls
2 skilled and qualified facilitators
15 hours of face to face engagement and group facilitation
Art supplies
Hearty and nutritious snacks
Mum's circle
A celebration where we welcome mums or an important female figure
A life-affirming education in puberty, menstruation and growing up that is priceless!

FEES
$400*
* The fees are based on estimated hours of work for two mentors and a minimum number of participants (6) i.e. 15 hours face to face contact plus additional hours of planning, setting up, cleaning up and estimated expenditure for food and art materials etc. The program is an investment of both time and money for families, and we understand sometimes this is difficult. All parts of the program are really important to commit to and we feel it is a most worthwhile investment, for lifelong benefits for your daughter. However, we operate on a sliding scale – the fees can be altered based on your needs, and families who can pay in full support families who may not have the means… please contact us if you are interested for your daughter but are experiencing financial hardship. Our mission is to make this accessible to all young women, and no young woman will be turned away.
