Youth Circle; Feb 2023 - Discovering my Divinity

Youth Circles a series of independent workshops for girls aged 10-15yo created by Naturopath Cyena Caruana.

- Empower girls through education and self-awareness activities on their journey of emotional and physical development from tween to teen-age;
- Deepen connections within their peer group;
- Create a space for quality time between mother and child;
- Create a sense of greater community for girls connecting girls with other adult women in a safe space;
- Develop self-confidence by promoting self-reflection, verbalization, respect and honouring of their personal experience in a social context.

Discovering my Divinity
This is a single workshop devoted to introducing and growing these concepts:

• Thinking of ourselves as divine beings with mind, body and spirit;
• Honouring the divine spark in others;
• Viewing life as a journey of learning and self-discovery;
• Using tools for self-enquiry and reflection;
• Mindfulness basics.

These concepts will be explored through guided journal work and discussion, craft, guided meditation and song. Activities will engage the girls in both peer to peer and group interactions. The workshop is designed for mothers to participate alongside their daughters.

This will be an uplifting workshop with the aim of expanding the self-concept and fostering a sense of deeper spiritual connection within the group.

A light afternoon tea will be provided at the end of the workshop.
