The Original Journey!
PRINCESS WARRIORS TRAINING
For girls ages 6-8
with Miss Wendy Ferraro
Nyack and surrounds
In the comfort and joy of a circle of friends, girls find connections to their own power, other girls, their elders, and the world around them. Each weekly gathering builds and circles back to these themes, using arts and crafts, girl-friendly sharing, movement, nature exploration, social action, ritual and fun. In Circle and at home, girls earn Ribbons to mark their accomplishments. They weave these Ribbons onto a crown, which is then given to each girl during a community celebration that marks their final passage into Princess Warriorhood. Girls will join with the circle of older Girl Warriors for a few sessions for comradery and mentorship.

WANDS OF POWER
A Ten-Week Magical Journey to the source of POWER and how to use it for GOOD
In the joy and comfort of a circle of friends, girls hone their skills in the ancient art of Power, strengthened by connection to each other, their elders and nature. Together they will work to solve the mystery of the Great Stone, help the world, and earn ribbons of accomplishment. By Journey’s end, the girls will make Magic Wands of Power by weaving their ribbon and stone onto sticks consciously harvested from the Woods that support us.
