August 5: The Guiding Star Cycle Show for girls aged 9-13 is back! We have two great dates available -  August 5 in Sioux Center This workshop was developed to give young girls the knowledge of what is going on inside their bodies in relation to puberty. Knowing the true beauty of their creation supports and prepares them in a positive way for the wonderful changes they will experience within their bodies over the coming years. Today, it is more important than ever for young girls to have high self-esteem regarding their bodies, not just when they are in the middle of puberty, but before the onset; "we can only protect what we value and respect"! Participation in the Cycle Show Workshop helps the girls value and respect their bodies as they move into their teenage years. Sign up by going to the website and choosing Sioux Center as your desired location ~ https://guidingstarproject.com/cycle-show/
