Love Your Nature: Real Talk for Teen Girls* ~ Deep Dive Retreat 8/3-8/4
Love Your Nature :: Annual Real Talk Teen Summer Retreat facilitated by Quetzal Francois + Emily Frost
What do teens want? What do they need? How can we support them?
Young people deserve help finding their authentic self and the courage to walk with purpose, resilience and love. Our Real Talk Summer Retreat holds a safe space to share honest conversations, make meaningful connections, and learn relevant skills to help girls* navigate the complexity of being teens in these times. This is a space to bond with peers and mentors who value being real, together. Our aim is to offer a light in the darkness, and uncover some wisdom, joy and community amidst uncertain times. We hope you'll join us!

"Thank you so much for creating this experience. I don't normally get to talk about things like this, so it was amazing to be able to talk openly and not feel judged. I've taken away a lot of important things to remember that will help me in the future, and through the rest of my life." - Real Talk Teen
