Boys Adventure Circles

PROMOTES MIND/BODY CONNECTION, EMOTIONAL FLUENCY, SELF-ESTEEM and COMMUNITY FOR BOYS

Combining physical movement, team building exercises and restorative circle discussions help boys understand how their actions impact themselves and others. Giving voice to their feelings and needs builds a crucial foundation for healthy self-esteem and relationships

"Experts say the more boys are encouraged to learn how to talk with emotional authenticity, respectfully, the healthier they are and the less likely they are to grow into the kind of men who leave destruction in their wake."
