Wood Sisters is an empowerment program designed to cultivate a deep connection between girls and the natural world whilst nurturing their personal growth and self-awareness as young women.
Each session is crafted to foster a sense of sisterhood and community among the group, providing a safe and supportive environment for them to express themselves authentically.
Through observing the land and practicing different crafts and skills, we will embark on an exploration of self-care, body positivity, and self-confidence, embracing our individuality and our gifts with pride.
Our nature adventures will include all of the Danu core routines of games, songs, stories, sit spots, and sensory explorations, feeding curiosity about our place in the natural world. Our container will take this a step further to hold a curiosity about our place in the world is as self-identifying young women, exploring age-appropriate discussion of womanhood and women's issues.
We aim for all Wood Sisters to develop essential life skills and also cultivate a profound sense of respect for themselves, each other, and the environment, laying the foundation for a lifetime of personal growth and empowerment.
​
Co-led by Danu Directors Dani and Allie, this program offers a nurturing space for deepening trust, personal growth, and the beautiful, sometimes challenging, work of growing into womanhood.
"I like Wood Sisters because it's really fun and interactive. You're learning stuff about survival and plants, plant medicine, how to start a fire, what to eat and what not to eat. I feel like everyone who goes has so much fun. I opted out once and I immediately regretted it."

"We value the opportunity for our children to deepen their connection with nature and their nature within a supportive explorative community, exposing them to a broader understanding of what learning and 'school' can be."

“Dani has been a wonderful mentor to both of my daughters. She has a kind, caring and nurturing approach to working with youth in an outdoor setting. I would highly recommend any program she is running, or involved with. My girls always come home happy after a day out with Dani learning, crafting and playing games. Overall awesome human.”
