What We’ll Learn Where the phrase “rites of passage” comes from and what it means. How we can empower girls and women to boost confidence, courage and grit by challenging them to overcome limitations and celebrate their accomplishments. How the elements (earth, air, water, fire) of the natural world can guide the process of personal growth and exploration. How to discover or reclaim your passion. What are the many benefits of spending time in nature?
