During this age where youth are questioning their identities, friend groups are shifting, bodies are changing, and social media and screen time is influential - we gather to ground ourselves by deepening our competency, connection, and care for each other and the larger cycles of life. We learn new skills and make beautiful crafts focused on personal empowerment, and exploring our place in the larger collective.
