About this Class

This class is very unique and special, as are all the girls involved. Each class is different, depending on
what the girls may need each week. We play games, discuss energy tools & 'life' subjects,practice yoga
and meditation. We also laugh a LOT and play silly games, dissolving the idea that exploring such deep
subjects has to be serious. We always end our class with a 10-minute guided meditation, one of their
favorite activities. I am also a Native American Flute musician and incorporate the healing power of sound
into every meditation.

The focus of this class is to explore who we are. We learn things such as: how to become aware of our
thoughts and emotions, how to access our internal guidance system, how our thoughts affect how we feel,
how to 'be in the flow' and let go of resistance, how to become more confident with who we really are, and
how to manage stress in a healthy way. Girls of this age are often dealing with a lot of transition in their
lives, and the pressure to be like everyone else. This unique all-girls class setting offer a rare environment
that is safe, nurturing and supportive.

We cover topics such as those listed above, and also subjects such as: Intuition, 'the negative
thoughts we tell ourselves'; 'doing life from the  inside-out versus the outside-in'.  "Outside-in" means
doing things for approval, to get love, to feel accepted, to be cool, or because you think you should.
"Inside-out" means feeling good inside and then doing things simply for the fun of it, or because you
are inspired to. Loving and approving of yourself FIRST leads to a life of joy and creativity. Many of
us have spent our entire lives trying to get someone else's approval, only to discover it is impossible
to attain if we do not first love & approve of ourselves. If kids can understand this at a young age, it
will save them years of pain and confusion and allow them to focus on what they want to create.

This class is very much like group therapy in content, however it is not the focus of the class.  We are
all sharing and supporting eachother, one of the most important aspects of the class. The girls are free to
share any questions or concerns they are having about any topic. We put everything into the context of
energy and how to use the tools they have learned in order to feel content, peaceful and happy most of
the time.

Near the end of the sessions I always ask the girls if they are feeling happier more often, and they say
YES!
