Are you ready to get free?! This summer a team of professional chefs, farmers, musicians, artists, activists and healers are welcoming 15 youth to Soul Fire Farm to create art, grow food, make music, learn cooking skills, explore nature, and build relationships of trust, respect, and joy.
DESCRIPTION
Participants will receive mentorship in trusting their inner guidance, naming their needs, identifying their super powers, pushing their limits, self-acceptance, collaboration, interdependence, empathy and compassionate communication. The young people will also learn some of the revolutionary history of their ancestors’ struggles for liberation and how they can shape movements for justice in their own communities nowadays.
This program is for BIPOC youth (Black, indigenous, and other people of color) who are 14-16 years old. Local youth from the 518/Capital Region and regional youth living within 60 miles from Soul Fire Farm will be strongly prioritized.
