Hearth Rites of Passage
What is Hearth?
Hearth is a three-year Rite of Passage program for teen girls and their parents. Each year includes a series of monthly core gatherings that lead into a six-day wilderness expedition in August. The journey is organized and led by Hearth’s Guides, Aunts, and Elders. Our mission is to support girls through a transformative threshold in their lives, rooted in nature, community, and ceremony.
“The feeling you get when you enter a circle of women—strong, grounded, and in their own power— is such a formative experience. When I first started hearth I was in a time of huge upheaval and Hearth felt like home even while the storm was still raging. Going through this rite of passage taught me to believe in myself fully and without reserve. The Guides, Elders, and Aunts of hearth have had my back through everything and the connections I’ve made to the other amazing girls on the program are so deep. There is so much love and support that I’ve found here”.
