The Raven Training is a weekend adventure for pre-adolescent boys, ages 9 to 12,
that takes place in a natural setting.
The goal of the Raven Training experience is to affirm and develop a boy’s
emotional literacy through games, adventure, and teaching stories (including
one story which takes the whole weekend to unfold). This part of the training
is built on the idea of a developmental stage called Feeling Being, by Ba and
Josette Luvmour, authors of Optimal Parenting: Using Natural Learning Rhythms
to Nurture the Whole Child. With that concept in mind, the boys are nourished
by age appropriate emotional training and caring mentors who model what men
look like when they enjoy their feelings and each other.
