WiseBodies Circle Class for 11-12 Year Old Girls: Fall 2026
This class is offered for cis and trans girls, ages 11-12. We'll be meeting on five consecutive Sundays in Kingston: October 18, 25, November 1, 8, 15.
In this workshop, we’ll:
*build from what girls already know and don’t yet know, with girls having the opportunity to lead discussions based on their curiosity.
*explore anatomical vocabulary that may or may not be familiar to us.
*play games so we can laugh while we memorize anatomical words.
*explore what whole bodies are, including our hearts and hands and reproductive/sexual bodies (is it possible our whole body is our sexual body?).
*talk about cycling: ovulation, why periods happen, explore all of how cycling can feel.
*make cycling kits - including hot water bottles - to put in our bathrooms or to give to a friend.
*talk about the expansive landscape of gender and sexuality.
*figure out good definitions for trans, cis, and non-binary adolescents.
*talk about what feels good, including masturbation.
*sex - what it is, what it isn’t - we’ll see how expansive we can get with our definition.
*talk about boundaries, play games that help us identify and set boundaries with more ease.
*imagine creating our own personal safe spaces to dream into, feel safe in, rest in.
*figure out strategies for when our boundaries are crossed.
*practice how to tell a trusted adult about uncomfortable things that might happen, or may already have happened, to us.
*talk about what makes an adult trustworthy.
*share what we’ve learned in class with our parents/caregivers, knowing we may get a chance to teach our parents/caregivers things they don’t yet know.
*make the certain kind of magic that happens at WiseBodies workshops, when things we think are hard to talk about become super easy to talk about.
The workshop will include music (bring your instruments!), movement, snacks, joy, and laughter.
Parents are welcome to join for the last 20 minutes of each workshop. We’ll be expecting you! You can - simply - slide into the room and join us in whatever we’re up to. Your daughters will have the chance to teach you what we’ve learned that afternoon. This usually is a sweet part of the afternoon.
Also, please know that WiseBodies holds an open-door policy, which means that parents are always welcome to join us for the entire workshop.
