School Holiday: "Shine Bright" Inspired Girls Leadership - Teens (12 - 17 yrs)

Our Shine Bright day course for teens (12 - 17 yrs)  is all about self-discovery where the girls will have space to  explore their innate leadership qualities and  insight into various tools that can help them navigate their thoughts and emotions, discover ways to cultivate friendships,  and unearth their unique values.

• Body, Mind, Heart:  mindful movement through yoga practice, relaxation techniques , gratitude practice
• Connection & Friendships: enhancing communication skills (finding your voice, making friends, reframing thoughts, and conflict resolution)
• What do I value most: creative way to explore your values and vision
• Celebrating uniqueness and strengths through art

Through this session our hope is that the girls can:

• cultivate mindful awareness  and overall wellbeing
• learn ways to manage stress and overwhelm
• learn tools to navigate difficult conversations  and thoughts
• gain confidence, find their voice
• connect to their values and creative spirit
• cultivate friendships, a sense of belonging

It will be a  fun  day of exploration, heaps of activities, and ample time for the girls to connect with other like minded teens.
