KRUCIAL KONVERSATIONS
Mental health conversations that focus on culturally or generational issues that are considered taboo.
This is a brave space. Push your growing edge. What is said here, stays here. What is learned here, leaves here.
Take ownership of your experience (ask for what you need/support, take care of yourself, and give feedback)
Co-Create the space with your time, presence, intention, and attention.
Be mindful of your privilege, power, and different lived experiences
One voice, all ears.
Share the airtime, cut to the chase, and avoid jargon.
Speak only for yourself using 'I’ statements.
Assume best intentions (Affirm, Acknowledge, and Ask)
Challenge the idea or behavior - not the person
Have fun!
“Come for the adventure, stay for the conversation”
OVERNIGHT CAMP
Camp is a culminative overnight experience that puts together all the season’s teachings. We take youth out of the city mentally and/or physically. The intention is to help campers break out of the bubble the city tends creates. We allow campers space, literally and figuratively, to discover themselves and each other away from distractions and day to day social and financial responsibilities. Campers are supplied with food, transportation, games and wellness activities in nature. We create a full schedule that allows campers to grow and test their limits. We encourage vulnerability, support systems and connections to nature.
