Artemis Village for Girls and Moms

About Artemis Village

Artemis Village is a unique summer program from Gaia Girls Passages, designed to bring girls and their mothers together through shared nature-based experiences in the San Francisco Bay Area. The program creates space for deepening the mother-daughter bond while immersed in the natural world.

Rooted in the same soul-centered mentoring approach that defines all Gaia Girls Passages offerings, Artemis Village weaves sisterhood, nature connection, and meaningful ritual into an experience that both generations can share and carry forward.

What to Expect

Artemis Village invites pairs of girls and their moms to step away from daily routines and into a supportive village atmosphere. Days are shaped by nature-based activities, group circles, and opportunities to connect in ways that everyday life rarely allows.

Strengthening connection: The program is intentionally crafted to nurture the relationship between mother and daughter — through shared challenges, quiet moments in nature, and the warmth of community.

Participants can expect a blend of guided activities and open time, all held within the caring container that Gaia Girls Passages mentors are known for.
