Maemae Youth Workshop Series (Ages 11–17)

Two-Day Intensives | Story-Based | Trauma-Aware | Culturally Grounded

Workshops use storytelling, reflection, creative expression, and relational learning in ways that prioritize safety, choice, and respect. Activities are optional, developmentally appropriate, and paced to meet participants where they are.

Rising With Eagle

Perspective, identity, and seeing beyond the moment — for youth who feel overwhelmed or disconnected from purpose.

Carrying With Crow

Loyalty, complicated love, and moral conflict — supporting youth navigating family disruption or conflicting values.

Gentle Steps With Deer

Self-compassion, shame, and repair after mistakes — accountability without self-erasure.

Strength in Stillness With Moose

Self-esteem, boundaries, and quiet confidence — affirming that sensitivity and reflection are forms of strength.

Carrying Gently With Turtle

Grief, sadness, and emotional patience — supporting youth experiencing loss or prolonged stress.

Floating With Otter

Joy, regulation, and permission to feel light again — without minimizing pain.

Choosing With Fox

Decision-making, peer pressure, and integrity — choosing with values rather than fear.

Seeing in the Dark With Owl

Anxiety, intuition, and navigating the unknown — building inner safety when answers are not immediate.

Weaving Truth & Finding Light

Body safety, voice, and healing after disclosure — reclaiming safety, trust, and self-worth.
