Aurora Rising, is a one-month transformational program designed for young women stepping into adulthood. Rooted in personal empowerment, holistic education, and the natural beauty of Hawaii, this immersive experience bridges the gap between high school and college by offering practical knowledge, emotional resilience, and a deeper connection to self and the world. This program provides a balance of learning and leisure, featuring four days a week of focused study and three days for rest, integration, and play. Students will leave with valuable skills, heightened self-awareness, and tools to navigate their next chapter with confidence and clarity.
We will be learning about entrepreneurship, permaculture, psychology, philosophy, ceremonial practices, and medicinal plants
Over the past four years of high school and during my current gap year, I have made time to uncover my passions, discover my goals, and learn more about myself and the person I want to become. In recent years, I’ve immersed myself in my love for farming and organic agriculture, dance, music, art, yoga, nature, spiritual knowledge, and herbalism, among other interests. The best way for me to learn is through in-person, hands-on experiences. This experience offers the ideal environment for me to not only refine these skills but also gain knowledge of new ones, such as entrepreneurship, psychology, philosophy, healing through music, and medicinal plants. This program is perfectly aligned with my goals and will help me in the next stage of my life.
After graduating, I decided to take a gap year to fully explore my passions, learn from diverse experiences, and travel. This opportunity is exactly what I envisioned for myself—a chance to be in a beautiful location, experience a new environment, and explore the wonders of nature while continuing to grow and deepen my connection to my true self.

I’ll be mentoring under my teacher, Sari Starr, on her beautiful land in Hawaii. In 2021, I was fortunate enough to meet Sari on the island, and we’ve remained connected ever since. Over the years, she has been not just a mentor but also a therapist and life coach, guiding me through some of the most challenging moments of my life. Our sessions have been transformative, helping me become more self-aware and providing the tools I needed to navigate difficult times. I’ve long wanted the chance to learn from her, and now that opportunity has finally arrived.
I am trying to raise money to fund this experience and won’t be able to do it without your help! Your support will be making a positive difference in my life.
Thank you for taking the time to read about me and why this experience is so important to me.
