If you are looking for ways to empower your teen or tween and live in the Portland, OR area, check me out. I have been teaching mindful archery for over 16 years and have taught thousands of beginners of all ages.
At a glance
Ages: 11–18
Location: Washington Park, Portland, OR
Experience: Total beginners welcome; all equipment provided
Focus: Mindfulness, somatic release, confidence, LGBTQIA+ affirming community
Cost: $50 per person. No one turned away for lack of funds (details below)
Why am I different? My focus isn’t on making your child a world champion archer at all costs (even though they might become one) my focus is on helping your child love themselves, feel empowered, connect to their body through the somatic experience of archery.
Why archery? I have yet to find something that can take someone from complete beginner to hitting their target as quickly. Why is that important? In archery there is power and movement. You hold something that in the beginning you can barely pull back the string on to fully stepping into your power, feeling the energy, and releasing the arrow, and hitting your target - which gets, tension, stress, anger, pain, all of it moving through the body = a somatic release.
I don’t know if I know anyone (including me) who doesn’t need more of this right now!
