🌙 Rising Sisters: Animal Guides

A Rose Tent Summer Threshold Journey for Girls Ages 12–16
Gainesville | Monday–Wednesday | Limited Boutique Circle

June 8 - 11, 2026 / 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM

There is a sacred season in a girl’s life when childhood begins to soften and something deeper starts to awaken.

Her inner world becomes richer.
Questions of identity, belonging, courage, voice, and intuition begin to rise.

Rising Sisters: Animal Guides is a boutique summer immersion created to honor this threshold.

In this intimate Rose Tent circle, each girl will journey with 7 personal animal allies, symbolic guides chosen through movement, meditation, nature immersion, journaling, and story.

Each animal represents a layer of becoming:

  • grounding into the body

  • learning emotional flow

  • awakening confidence

  • listening to the heart

  • finding authentic voice

  • strengthening intuition

  • connecting to a larger spiritual vision

This is a space where girls are invited to slow down, listen deeply, and discover the qualities within themselves mirrored through the wisdom of the natural world.

Through the week, each sister will create a 7-animal personal totem, a symbolic map of the strengths, gifts, and guides she carries into the next chapter of her life.

This is not simply a summer camp.
It is a rite-of-passage inspired journey into self-trust, sisterhood, and soulful identity.

🐾 The 7 Animal Threshold Journey

Each day unfolds as a guided pathway through the body, heart, and spirit.

🌍 Root — Earth Animals

Belonging + trust in the body
Animals of the underground and forest floor help girls explore grounding, safety, and what it means to feel truly rooted in themselves.

💧 Sacral — Water Animals

Emotion + creativity + relational flow
Water beings teach adaptability, emotional intelligence, creativity, and how to move with life instead of against it.

🔥 Solar Plexus — Desert Animals

Courage + boundaries + inner fire
Desert animals offer lessons in resilience, self-trust, confidence, and the power of personal choice.

🌲 Heart — Forest Animals

Compassion + spirit guidance
Forest creatures become mirrors for empathy, connection, and the inner compass of the heart.

🗣️ Throat — Communication with Animals

Authentic expression + listening beyond words
Girls explore the many languages of the natural world while strengthening their own voice, truth, and self-expression.

🌙 Third Eye — Spirit Animal Allies

Vision + intuition + symbolic knowing
Through guided meditation, dreamwork, and visualization, girls connect with the unseen animal wisdom that supports their path.

The journey culminates in the creation of a meaningful personal totem that represents each girl’s emerging identity and future becoming.
