Mandorla Rites - Moon Maidens

Service Description

A nature-based rites of passage journey for girls aged approximately 8–12 Moon Maidens is a gentle and meaningful coming-of-age program that supports girls to know themselves more deeply, trust their inner wisdom, care for their bodies, and grow in confidence, belonging, and self-respect. Across 13 months in circle, girls are guided through storytelling, ritual, reflection, creative activities, journalling, body literacy, and time in nature. The heart of the program is helping each girl build her inner temple — a strong foundation of self-knowledge, emotional awareness, body wisdom, and self-leadership.
