Fathers circle: Supporting Girls (Ages 9–11) as They Begin Their Journey into Womanhood
2026 | Colares, Portugal | Forest Row, Sussex UK
Dates: September/October/November
Time: 1030 am – 1230 PM | €20-30
Join a supportive circle of fathers who want to deepen their connection with their daughters as they begin this important stage of life.
As girls approach puberty, they experience far more than physical changes. They begin developing a deeper understanding of themselves, their bodies, their emotions, relationships, and their place in the world. Fathers play a powerful role in helping their daughters navigate this journey with confidence, security, and self-worth.
These sessions provide a welcoming space for fathers to reflect, share experiences, and gain practical tools for supporting their daughters with openness, confidence, and compassion.
Together we’ll explore how to create conversations that feel natural, strengthen trust, and support our daughters as they enter womanhood with knowledge, dignity, and confidence.
Through guided discussions, reflective activities, and conversations with other fathers, we’ll learn how to become calm, connected and supportive guides during one of the most significant transitions in a young girl’s life.
