Since the transition, from monthly Youth Circles to weekly Youth Walks - we have not missed a beat! πͺππ Each and every week we have Youth show up for themselves - because they WANT to. And this fills me with pride - for them & in the positive changes we have made moving forward at Wildflower Sanctuary. Connection Circles ARE wonderful! And for over 6 years, these have been successfully supporting Youth within our community. However, these walks, alongside our bi-monthly camp retreats - provide our Youth with SO much MORE.
Our weekly walks, provide more regular contact, where I am able to quite literally, walk alongside our girls and support them in achieving their goals. A weekly check in, where we discuss our struggles and triumphs of the week and troubleshoot what we could do to move us forward in the direction that is most aligned for ourselves. Our walks, foster motivation and real action. Pride. Connection. MOVEMENT. We take accountability for what we have and haven't done and are motivated towards self improvement.
And - I SEE it. I see the changes. I see their growth - in even just a short amount of time, I see real movement in the areas that they each wish to focus on. These walks - by far exceed what I had hoped to achieve, with our Circles.
Paired along with our Girls Youth Retreats, held bi-monthly (and only available to past & current Wildflower Youth) - our retreats provide our girls with the time, space and environment, to dive deeper into a wide range of both science and spiritual based, supportive tools - to assist them along their journey's.
Our girls desire a space, where they can be accepted - just as they are. Be celebrated for their quirks and differences as well as their similarities. A space where they can speak freely - without judgement, shame or criticism. An environment that can hold them when they fall and support them, to get back on their feet aswell as motivate & inspire them to achieve their goals.
We are a support system. A space where they can explore - themselves, and grow.
Our Girls Youth Walks are for girls aged between 9 & 24 years of age (current regular attendees range between 10 & 20) and are held each Thursday from 5:30pm - 7pm at Oxenford Lake. Exchange $20.
Retreats are available to all past and current Wildflower attendees and are held within an hour from the Gold Coast every two months - at incredibly low cost. If you haven't attended any of our previous events and wish to attend retreats in the future - come along to one of our future walks to apply.
