iLLuMiNa Girls Camp weekend for Girls and the Beloved women in their lives!

I'm excited to announce that I'll be co-directing the first ever iLLuMiNa Girls Camp weekend designed for girls AND their moms, aunts, grandmothers, and whomever they might like to invite.

Talented teaching artist and mother, Nadine Smith, will be team leading the camp.  We will lead the girls and grown girls in all kinds of adventures:  art, dance, exploration, creating vision maps, games, and a fantastic feast of appreciation on Saturday night.

More details soon.  For now, mark your calendars for Saturday and Sunday, August 15 - 16, at my home studio in Shoreline, Washington.

iLLuMiNa Girls Camp !  Here are a few great pictures from last year's camp.  The girls were really wonderful, so open to sisterhood and adventure.  The Blue Sage provided their cozy, historic apartment for us to make into our "clubhouse" for the week.   Several Mentor women joined us in our activities:  we created ceramic vessels with Tara, hiked on Jumbo with Mary,  Belly danced with Heidi, and swam in the North Fork with Lynn.  And at our Hafla feast, moms, aunts and other beloved guests joined us to celebrate the joys of being a well-loved and supported girl!
