a space for young women - in-person and online
supporting young women to grow a positive sense of self and belonging, through exploration and expression and cultivating meaningful connections with others and the natural world.
The adolescent years of our life are a time of change, identity formation, meaning making and possibility.
​
The teenage brain is going through significant and dynamic neural development, making the brain deeply sensitive to the environment (ref 1). For young people, their relationship to their peers and others, influences their sense of belonging in the world and their overall wellbeing and quality of life.
Loneliness and social isolation is a young person’s nightmare.
This is why we believe it is important that a community offer places and spaces where young people can gather together, to learn more about themselves and meaningfully relate with others.
Over time, the social structures and values that supported ‘the village’ have been lost and people are feeling more alone and stressed than ever. Young people are also spending less time in nature, and more time indoors and connecting with people on screens, rather than in person.
​
Although young people are predominantly peer focused, they still learn through the support they receive from older generations, as well as through cultural rites of passages and community networks.
​
At Shambala, through Blossom Margaret River, we are co-creating a place where young women can come together to regain that sense of belonging to themselves, others and nature through simple yet deeply meaningful experiences.
Blossom gatherings, workshops, retreats and eventually camps, will help fill a gap in our community for young people.
Our intention is for young women to feel empowered, connected and a sense of purpose and belonging. We will encourage self-expression, foster healthy relationships and support young women to build their confidence and resilience.
