Moon Belly Circle is an 8-week summer program for 12-15 year old girls, gender-fluid, non-binary and trans participants. We will gather on Tuesdays June 27th - August 15th from 9am-4pm at the Wheeler Homestead in South Burlington (with occasional days at the South Village Farm in South Burlington).
At the core, Moon Belly Circle is an outdoor program, heart-fully guided to support us in our connection to the earth, to our bodies, to each other, and to the food we nourish ourselves with. We will sprinkle our days with games to know each other on deeper levels, quiet reflection time, personal sharing, and joyous family style lunch feasts in the gardens.
