Welcome to Kids Village
At The Temple of Belonging, we recognize that true community care includes supporting mothers, children, and families as a whole. That’s why we’ve created the Kids Village, a dedicated space where children can engage in play, creativity, and connection while their mothers participate fully in the workshop offerings of the day. This is a space where children experience the values of belonging, joy, and community through enriching activities and compassionate care. By providing this sanctuary for kids, we ensure that women don’t have to choose between their wellness and their children’s needs, fostering a culture where families can grow stronger together.
Here, the future generations not only get to experience village life too, they get to engage, build friendships and be held in the unique ways they need within this environment.
Bring your babes to the Village!
Babes Camp is a place for you and your babes to rest, breast feed and slow down.
Kids Camp is a fully staffed care lodge for your children between the ages of 18 months -6.
Girls Camp will hold care and programming for your children between the ages of 7-15.
Girls over age 15 can participate in most offerings and will need a regular ticket.
Boys under age 6 are welcome.



Babies camp/ Mamas Den
For mothers with babies and very young children, we offer the Mama’s Den, a calm and welcoming space to rest, feed, change, and simply be with your little ones throughout the day.
This cozy gathering place is supported by community doulas, who will be present to offer gentle support, helping hands, and a listening ear for mothers who may need a moment of care themselves.
The Mama’s Den is designed as a soft landing place within the wider village, where mothers can connect with one another, tend to their babies, and feel held by a circle of support.
This is a quit and cozy place to hold both mama and baby in this delicate time, while still being woven into the village.
This is a space that is open for mothers to use 24 hours, but will be staffed with trained doulas during workshop hours specifically to offer care to you baby

Kids Camp
Kids Camp offers 7 hours of professionally staffed childcare each day, providing a safe and creative environment for little ones while allowing mamas to fully participate in workshops, rituals, and yoga. This ensures a clear and intentional space for the depth of programming while giving mothers the freedom to drop in, connect, and receive.

Girls Camp
Hosted by: Wild Rivers Collective
This year at Temple of Belonging, Wild Rivers Collective is offering a week-long girl’s camp for girls ages 8-16. We consider ages 8-10 to be pre-threshold time, and ages 11-16 to be a threshold time. It is our honor to uplift these beautiful ages and stages through a variety of offerings. We are a collective of Village Aunties who have a passion for supporting girls to live into their most embodied, confident, creative selves. Through nature connection, self-inquiry, the art of council, storytelling, hand crafts, song, and ceremony, we offer a sanctuary space for the wild waters of the young feminine to flow freely and joyfully.
The Adolescent Years
This threshold time in a girl’s life is often forgotten by our mainstream culture, and girls are left to initiate themselves, often with unhealthy risk-taking and self-shaming behaviors, into the mysteries of the feminine. These are challenging and confusing years, and these girls need a safe, attuned, and creative space to explore who they are becoming. We are honored to be the banks that hold these winding, wild waters.
Girls Camp at Temple of Belonging is a 5 day container, led by Shea. We will be using a mythic lens to deliver our offerings, as we allow the magic of a story to slowly unfold day after day throughout the week. The arch of the story will serve as the container for us to explore the waters of the feminine in a spacious, yet held way. We will end with a culminating, honoring ceremony on Friday, that gathers the entire village to witness and uplift what the girl’s have been working and embodying throughout the week. It is truly a magical experience to gather generations of women around these young ones, and bless them with our hearts' intentions as they cross the “threshold”.

Babies and Kids:
A vital part of a supportive and safe space curated for children are adults who honor and celebrate the authenticity and autonomy of the child. Temple of Belonging has intentionally brought together women who hold the child and mother with utmost care and devotion. We are honored to hold a sacred space for both the children and mothers attending the gathering.

Girls Camp hosted by
The women of Wild Rivers Collective came together after many beautiful heart longings for creating threshold mentorship for the young feminine. We are Shea, Magnolia and Hanna; the village aunties. We carry a shared vision that supports these young, vibrant, wild rivers on their path of becoming their more authentic selves. We offer soulful and applicable guidance for youth navigating disconnected times. We honor the tender threshold between who they have been and who they are becoming. We remind young ones how to listen to the song of the earth and to the wisdom of the wild river within. We weave a sense of responsibility to self, to land, to more than human kin and to one another.
Shea Bodine
Over the past 12 years, Shea has worked with young people in a variety of settings as a classroom educator, nature-based educator, and emotion resilience mentor. Through her LLC Rooted Resilience, she runs nature-based mentorship & education programs for young people. She weaves practices of non-violent communication, trauma-informed mentoring, somatic practices, and guidance from the Wilderness Awareness Institute into all that she does. In 2023, she completed a Rites of Passage Guide training with EarthPath Education. She continues her study of the great Mystery through deep listening, herbalism and wildcrafting, and general courtship with the unseen and ancestral realms. She is a mama to two sons, whose wild rivers are always teaching her. It is her deep desire that young ones have a place where they can be immersed in gentle and grounded guidance; experience a true sense of belonging and share their most authentic Self with the world.
