‘The Power of Wellness’ Workshops for Girls Age 11-14

Dream Haven of Vermont, Hyde Park is proud to offer ‘The Power of Wellness’ - a series of day long workshops aimed at supporting girls to make empowered choices as they navigate adolescence and beyond. The first one takes place during school break on Thursday April 23, from 9am to 3:30pm and is facilitated by Renata Blanchard, Crisis Clinician at Lamoille County Mental Health and Massage Therapist and Gerette Buglion, proprietor of Dream Haven of Vermont and Dream Mentor. With combined backgrounds in child welfare and education, Blanchard and Buglion are passionate about empowering girls by harnessing the guidance from dreams, the support of therapeutic massage and numerous self-empowerment activities. “As girls mature, the world delivers complex and conflicting messages”, says Blanchard, “and if they can learn to trust their intuition and develop strong relationship and communication skills they will be more able to use discernment in the world - seeing the wheat from the chaff and the chaff from a nasty blight – and therefore more likely to succeed.” Ms. Blanchard received her Bachelor of Science degree in Alternative Medicine in 2005 and began working for Lamoille County Mental Health in 2005. She worked as a Service Coordinator for Children’s Services before becoming a Crisis Clinician. Ms. Buglion was a teacher at the former Green Mountain Waldorf School from 1984 to 2003, received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary and Special Education in 1995 and has completed over 500 hours in training in Archetypal Dreamwork through North of Eden. Both Blanchard and Buglion have their own daughters and they are delighted to offer this work that is deeply and personally inspiring to each of them.

The workshop will feature dream exploration through drawing, writing and movement and key elements of therapeutic massage, fully clothed, work with animal totems, empowerment games, health and nutrition. Using the diverse tools and training that Blanchard and Buglion share, they aim to work with the girls to weave a new tapestry of inner resources, cultivating positivity and wellness. Enrollment is limited and there is a sliding scale registration fee. Additional ‘The Power of Wellness’ workshops will take place on June 22, July 13 and August 3, 2015. You may register for all or just one. For more information and to register, contact Gerette Buglion at 802-498-8015 or email her at gerette2@hotmail.com.
