This space is designed for teenagers who feel they are growing into a world that is falling apart. This is a place of refuge. A place of solace where teens can come together with other teenagers struggling to find their place amidst a changing climate, divisive war mongering, partisan politics, LGBTQ+ attacks, neurodiversity ignorance, and what feels like pervasive hate. For the feelers who are ready to find a community of like minded individuals to not only weather the storm but to remain connected to themselves.
Each week we will begin with a brief check in: an optional invitation for each participant to share what's on the surface in their life. Their worries or concerns, hopes, desires, or anything they feel called to talk about. Then we'll move into an artistic prompt. This could be visual, movement, creative writing, sound, or theatre based, but it will all be actively supported by Arielle, a registered therapeutic counsellor, who will provide as much or as little structure as desired by the participant. The intention is not to produce any specific piece of art, but to decompress and regulate the nervous system through sensory exploration and the creative act. Participants may choose to use this art to support a cause of their choosing, but this is not required. Finally, we'll reflect one by one on the process. What did you notice or discover? What message does your creation have to offer you? No artistic experience is required, just a care for the world, self, and a willingness to be open and exploratory.
For those who want to drop-in and see if this space is the right fit: the first 2 sessions will be open. However, by the third session our intention is to start to build more stability and safety through consistent relationship. For folks to feel safe to open up to the group and others teens requires trust, and trust comes with commitment. For teens who aren't able to attend each week, just let Arielle know. We will likely offer this space again in early 2027!

A Tender Rebels Riddle
What is small and often overlooked?
What is tender, yet always persists?
What returns year after year, no matter how hard they try to stop it?
What nourishes the earth, despite being perceived as a nuisance or a “problem”?
Whether a wild dandelion or a deeply caring teenager, the tender rebels are quietly nourishing the land, breaking through the concrete, and strengthening their ecosystem.
