Fire & Flower
Girls Mentorship & Rite of Passage Programs
Empowering the transition into young womanhood
We acknowledge the privilege & responsibility of being on the ancestral, traditional and unceded territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations. Thank you for your teachings of right relationship with this land.
What is Fire & Flower?
Around the world and throughout history, societies recognized the transition from girl to woman as a sacred and critical time; guiding them through the process with rites, mentorship, and wisdom.
Today, this has been lost. And there has never been a harder time to be a young person, with mass and social media produce a constant feed of harmful messages and images.
Fire & Flower are reviving ‘the village’ of women by supporting girls as they come-of-age through in-depth, transformative programs. We empower self-identified girls ages 10-14 in a non-binary & LGBTQ2SIAP+ inclusive environment.
Through mentorship, nature-connection, and INCREDIBLE rites of passage, participants build confidence and pride in womanhood, discover their personal power, and develop resilience to engage their future.
“When girls are given our time and presence to discover who they are, they unfold into the safety of themselves. This wisdom needs to be brought back into our communities - it is time.”

Donate to the Movement!
Help ALL girls know their own radiance as they become young women. We are raising funds to help families needing financial assistance. Many parents tell us, “This is just what my daughter needs right now,” but they do not have the financial means to participate. Your donation really makes a difference. Thank you for your generosity.
