Our incredible board member and my co-facilitator Michele Drake did an amazing job educating about the menstrual cycle in our Conscious Minds – Conscious Bodies™ one-day camp on Feb 29. The girls enjoyed learning the details of our cycles as well as making a collage of their inner female anatomy. It is such a joy and honor to hold space for these girls to learn about their changing bodies in a safe, nurturing and empowering environment. We are changing the world one girl at a time! Our week long CMCB™ Camp is July 20-24 and our fall CMCB™ One-Day Camp is October 24, 2020.

Morning artwork, icebreakers, meditation, breath work and yoga was awesome in our first Empowerment 4 Girls Day Camp in Montesano! After our delicious organic lunch we had our afternoon Guest Speaker.

Thanks to Environmental Educator and President of our Empowerment 4 Girls Board, Jennifer Johnson, for supporting our Self Care Day. Her presentation:
“‘Get Out of My Hair! Toxins in Personal Care’– Learn how to read labels and choose personal care products that keep you looking and smelling good while also protecting our water! We will make an all-natural lip balm to take home and share resources to make buying decisions easier.”

The girls loves learning about more natural body products such as Alaffia, as well as, how to read labels and where chemicals are often hidden like in the word “fragrance”.

They also loved making their very own peppermint lip balm and getting great resources such as the “Pocket Guide to Safer Personal Care Products”!

Testimonials from Montesano Camp:
"It's almost the best thing ever!" VM Age 13

"I honestly loved the experience here, thanks!" ED Age 11

"The whole day was fun, but the end was best with dancing!" PW  Age 10

"I'm so glad I got to attend this camp. I love life even more now." DS Age 12

We will discuss the connection between fashion and our moods. Our main focus will be to work on recognizing our true emotions in a digital world and how to best self care those feelings, reflect on our true self vs. media self, especially on having healthy boundaries with photo filters. We will decorate bandanas using fabric paint & stencils with affirmations and imagery to remind us to show love to ourselves in this moment, every moment no matter the mood.

Shari Trnka 1:30-3:30
We will make heart garland or leis from upcycled wool scraps, cutting hearts and hand stitching the garland. While we work with our hands it’s a great opportunity to engage our hearts and share with each other about what it looks like (and feels like )to live from our hearts.

Wednesday Aug 14 Self Expression
Sue Forson 1:30-3:30
Creativity is essential to being fully alive and vibrant. Our creative process is a unique well of spirit and grace; the more we drink from it the more there is. We will create collages on shields and write a letter to our future selves and explore what happens when we let our creative muse take over

Thursday, July 15th, Self Care
Kelli Mae 10:30-11:30
Self care begins with self knowledge, and Yoga and mindfulness are the keys to learning about ourselves. We will use these practices to discover who we are, how we feel, what we like, and what we don't. A loving kindness (metta) meditation will complete our experience of attending to, accepting, and loving ourselves exactly as we we are.

Kirstin Eventyr 1:30-3:30
Together we will learn about using flower essences to support us to feel better about ourselves, boost our strengths and lean into our challenges. You will also have an opportunity to make your own flower essence and essential oil spray that you can take home with you!
