MAIDEN | A Rite of Passage for Girls 9–12

What if growing up was something our daughters felt prepared for, rather than something that simply happened to them?

Adolescence is one of the first great transitions of a girl's life.

Her body begins to change.

Her emotions deepen.

Friendships shift.

And new questions emerge about who she is and who she is becoming.

Yet so often, we wait until these changes are already happening before we begin the conversations.

Maiden offers another way.

A two-day experience created to gently prepare girls aged 9–12 for the journey from childhood into adolescence.

Together we'll explore changing bodies, puberty and menstruation, emotions, friendships and belonging, body confidence, hygiene, boundaries, self-trust and what it means to grow towards young womanhood.

There will be conversation and learning, but also creativity, movement, play, connection, ritual and ceremony.

And before the girls gather, the mothers gather first.

Our Mothers Gathering creates space for us to reflect on our own journey into adolescence and consider what we consciously want to offer our daughters as they begin theirs.

This isn't about rushing our girls into adolescence.

It's about giving them a strong foundation from which to meet it.

We want every girl entering this next chapter to know:

You are seen.

You belong.

What is happening within you matters.

And you don't have to navigate it alone.

Every transition deserves to be honoured.
