Mission Statement

Feet On The Earth is committed to awakening children and adults to a deeper relationship with nature, self, community, and the magic of life through long-term, nature-connection mentoring and community-based, wilderness rites of passage. Our current focus is long-term mentoring and rites of passage for girls ages 7-14. Our vision is to help raise young people who are ready to meet life’s challenges and be of service in the world: youth who have a positive sense of themselves; who know what their gifts are; feel deeply connected with nature; have strong community support; and are full of resilience and vitality.

Description

Our aim is to guide girls to engage the power of their bodies, minds and hearts to pursue their passion and purpose in life. When girls are aligned with themselves, connected with what matters most to them, and have simple yet powerful tools, they grow into women who able to bring their unique gifts to the world in a way that is of service to others and a joyful celebration of who they are.

While we have lofty goals, we achieve them by creating a regenerative culture that we steep girls in year after year, season by season. Our programs are led by experienced mentors with a broad base of work and life experience, and our staff to participant ratio never goes higher than 1 mentor per 6 girls, so girls get focused attention and actual hands-on mentoring.

Growing into who we want to be takes time, practice, and careful tending. Each piece of the curriculum is delivered in age appropriate ways and layered over itself with each pass through the cycle of the seasons. Each year the teachings and practices of the previous year are reinforced, expanded and deepened as the girls grow into young women.
