RISING WOMEN
Mother & Daughter Camp
A weekend for mums and their girls 11-14 years...
Rising Women is a 3 day Mother Daughter camp designed to support you and your daughter as she steps into her teen years. Rising Women offers some time away just for you two to share an adventure and explore the changes (already happening or on the horizon) in your relationship. Our aim is to set the foundations for you both to better navigate this journey of adolescence as your daughter matures toward young adulthood.
What does it mean to support your daughter as she navigates her teen years?
It means centering her journey toward young adulthood within a community of women who recognise and can reflect on the challenges ahead. It means offering thoughtful questions that allow her to explore who she is becoming. It means honouring her values and the unique gifts she brings to the world.
We support girls to develop an awareness of the social pressures and gendered expectations that play a highly influential role in shaping her sense of who she is, while creating the space for her to reflect on the kind of young person she actually wants to become, to realise her strengths, and to thrive.
We acknowledge that this time in adolescence can be a particularly challenging transition when the need to 'fit in' and belong becomes so critical for teens as they strive for more independence from us. So building on your bond and facilitating good communication is now more important than ever. We will celebrate this stage of her life welcoming her into the changes in her body and the healthy rite of passage in understanding our cycles, body changes and exploring body image beliefs. Together we gently explore issues like friendship dramas, understanding the basics of boundaries and consent, and the challenges of social media that can keep us from regarding ourselves with kindness and compassion.
Mums will have time together to explore the impacts of cultural ideals of 'perfect mother' and the changing dynamics of your relationship with your daughter. We look at healthy communication, how to set and keep boundaries that are right for you and your family, the dance of freedom and responsibility, with resources to support you on this journey.
Every morning we practice and learn tools together in nervous system support to help us to stay connected to our bodies and to know what feels 'safe' for each of us.
If you have a daughter aged 11-14 yrs and want to:
-
Strengthen your relationship with your daughter as she navigates adolescence.
-
Support her to have the confidence to make healthy choices
-
Connect with other mums and girls to feel supported on this journey

Enjoy delicious healthy food, camp fires and share an adventure together!
