Last Screening on Thursday, February 9 – 7 p.m.
On Thursday, February 9 at 7pm, we will be screening our final films in our CounterBalance project – “Play Again” and “What A Girl Wants”. We invite you to bring your teens to explore the roles media plays in a girl’s life and the consequences of a childhood removed from nature.
Join us for an evening of engaging and thought-provoking film and discussion as we explore the question: What is the CounterBalance to the media and marketing saturated world in which we live?
Pick one, two or all three film screenings. Each discussion will be led by an experienced facilitator.
Adults and children age 16+ welcome! Free Admission.
