GIRLS GROWING UP

Weaving magic into the process of growing up.

Leigh organised groups in Melbourne.

I found it much more effective when I made personal contact with other mothers in the school and local community.

It was very helpful having already been to a Girls.Growing Up!. Even though I didnt give away too much detail (certainly not the little secret surprises).

I was able to convey the specialness of firstly the opportunity for the girls and mothers to welcome the exciting changes that take place as our precious flowers slowly begin to unfold.

How wonderful is the opportunity to have someone who brings a wealth of knowledge of how to celebrate and honour in a clear grounded but beautifully nuturing gentle way. Knowledge that has been gathered from other cultures from around the world right at our doorstep for our girls and in fact ourselves to deeply and richly absorb.

All of the feedback from our school was positive, the girls felt safe and comfortable, captured by your stories which were so full of richness , colour, and vitality that the essence has been hungrily absorbed by them and this richness has embedded itself so deeply in these young girls that it will flow from them and through them for the many generations to come.

The experience is also very reinforcing, in a positive sense of everything we had talked about and discussed at home over the years. But so much more than just a talk or two or three at home.

Our girls and mums came away more positive about whats to come , a kind of excited expectancy about a journey that is now veiwed very differently by many of them.

I feel very strongly that these girls are embracing their female creativity in a much fuller way now. I'ts nice to see. One girl went straight home and hand made all her cloth pads------- her mother was delighted.

Personally I felt very pleased and somewhat fullfilled on a very deep soul level to be able to help bring this opportunity to young girls as many of us women were left very abandoned when it was our time. I feel strongly that every girl has the right and should be shown the opportunity to Honour, celebrate and love the transition from girl to woman.
