Girls Rising A Guide to Nurturing a Confident and Soulful Adolescent

Young people are hungry and capable of engaging in meaningful explorations of themselves and the world around them. Adolescent girls especially have a deep desire and capacity to know themselves and explore their own spirituality. Girls Rising is a workbook of activities designed for educators, mental health clinicians, youth workers, parents, and, in some cases, peer educators working with girls ages 13 - 17 that provides a process for them to explore and develop their emotional, social, and spiritual selves. The curriculum comprises of four themes surrounding self-awareness, empathy and communication skills, social engagement, and transpersonal exploration. Incorporates drawing, writing, music, media, role-playing, storytelling, and deeply penetrating interactive activities to help incite self-discovery, enhance relationships, and connect girls to a cause, principal, or source greater then themselves. Jackson's guide offers teenage girls a unique opportunity to engage with their changing selves and their environment from a deeply soulful and creative place.
