Grailville Retreat and Program Center in Loveland OH and Nzuzu, a life coaching organization committed to building stronger circles of women around the world, are pleased to present a Rites of Passage weekend retreat August, 2009. Girls and their adult mentors (e.g., mother, aunt, grandmother, sister and/or friend) are invited to Grailville for a weekend of sharing, transformation and celebration! There is no age limit but girls must have started their menses to attend.
This retreat is designed to support the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual journey of each girl on the path to womanhood. Activities will include writing, art, ritual, conversation, meditation and play. Adult participants will be helped to find ways to use their own experiences as helpful tools in guiding the younger women toward the women they are to become.
The Rites of Passage Retreat will be co-facilitated by Pauletta Hansel and Quanita Munday.
