Portland Circle of Becoming ages 8-12 (Spring 2026)

Circles of Becoming is a 10-week intentional mentorship group, rooted in creative expression, wildcrafting, and ceremony that help girls and teens make meaning of what’s happening in their inner and outer worlds — physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.

This 10-week mentorship circle invites girls into a steady, nurturing container rooted in land, creativity, and community. Through nature connection, council and simple ceremony, expressive and visual arts, wildcrafting, storytelling, and song, participants build confidence, emotional literacy, and meaningful friendships.

Each gathering weaves hands-on skill building with reflective circle time. We explore the rhythms of the natural world, practice listening deeply to ourselves and one another, and cultivate the courage to share our voices. Girls learn practical skills, while also strengthening their capacity for empathy, collaboration, and self-trust.

This is more than an after-school program — it is a circle for cultural change.

Over ten weeks, participants grow in confidence, creativity, and connection to themselves and to each other.
