For Parents & Community Caregivers
S.O.I.L. 4 Growth
S.O.I.L. (Supporting Our Inner Landscapes) 4 GROWTH is a healing-centered, culturally-rooted support program for parents/caregivers of children moving through one of the most emotionally dynamic stages of life: the tween years (ages 8–13).
Parenting tweens can feel like walking unfamiliar terrain — this program offers a map, a mirror, and a moment to breathe.
Through ancestral practices, nature-based play, somatic tools, and collective reflection, caregivers gain emotional support, regulation strategies, and community connection while learning to parent from a place of rootedness, not reactivity.

The Power of Culture in Nature for our Children
Creativity & Imagination
Bring the great outdoors in, and watch your little ones' creativity blossom! With a little imagination, kiddos can craft a whole nature world right inside your home with artsy projects, using natural goodies or by role-playing outdoor scenarios. The result? A garden of imaginative thinking and wild creativity!
Curiosity & Scientific Thinking
Nature's playground awaits! Nature kindles the flames of our inner scientists and implores us to seek deeper truths in the ecological tapestry and the lore of local cultures. We bow to you, Mother Nature, as the ultimate mentor!
Cultural & Environmental Connection
Our youth can feel a deep-rooted connection with their heritage and develop mental superpowers, all by hanging out with our green friends and elders. Whether it's hiking, bird-watching or just playing in the dirt, it's a whole world of adventure out there!
