What we’re about
“Women are reclaiming the initiatory rites and wisdom that they were not given. The time is Now that we offer this path of reclamation in service to our future generations, so they don’t have to unlearn and learn what we had to…so they can be women that know themselves and their soul’s destiny…so they have a lived experience of being held, guided, and seen by their village. It is up to us to create the world that we want to belong to, on behalf of our youth, our ancestors, and our Earth.” -Johannah Reimer, founder of Wakeful Nature Girls Groups
Do you have a daughter, a friend, a niece, a community member who is shifting from childhood into adolescence? Do you know a girl who would benefit from the support of a council of peers led by Village Aunties?
This threshold time in a girl’s life is often forgotten by our mainstream culture, and girls are left to initiate themselves, often with unhealthy risk-taking and self-shaming behaviors, into the mysteries of the feminine. These are challenging and confusing years, and these girls need a safe, attuned, and creative space to explore who they are becoming.
This is where we come in. At Wild Rivers Collective we are a collective of Village Aunties who have a passion for supporting girls to live into their most embodied, confident, creative selves. Through the Art of Council, storytelling, hand crafts, song, and ceremony, we offer a sanctuary space for the wild waters of the young feminine to flow freely and joyfully.
