Mama Gaia's Summer Camps!

Magical camps for magical kids (and tweens, too)! Each week we mix back-to-nature adventures, yoga, herbal wisdom, creative play, and oh so much more to create a summer full of wonder, joy, creativity, self confidence, and a deep love for the natural world we're so lucky to call home. Join us for a day, a week, or a summer - you'll never want to leave! Led by Mama Gaia (aka herbalist, educator, and wisewoman Jessica LaBrie, owner of Blackbird's Daughter Botanicals), kid's yoga instructor Brooke Hollman (owner of Tree House Yoga), and Montessori early childhood educator Hannah Sheridan, camps take place outdoors in the beautiful gardens, fields, forests, and woodland trails at Blackbird's Daughter Botanicals, and the Barrington Zen Center (right down the path from Blackbird's Daughter).

We will practice yoga and mindfulness, discover secret ways to access your inner calm and courage (tricks you can do without anyone even knowing!), blend fresh-from-the garden teas and remedies to support healthy hormones, moods, and energy levels; and go wild with sacred art projects like plant mandalas, mythical masks, and journal making. We'll explore what kind of people we want to be, how to stand up for yourself and others, and what makes a good friend. You'll leave with new friends, greater confidence, your own aromatherapy power amulet, and the wisdom and strategies you need to guide you through the next stage of your amazing life!
