When you spend your childhood making real choices, discovering what you love, and having your thoughts and opinions taken seriously, you build a pretty strong sense of who you are along the way.

That's something I've really noticed with my unschooled teens. Of course they're still growing and changing, but they know themselves. They haven't suddenly reached adolescence and needed to discover who they are. They never lost that connection with themselves in the first place.

A lot of "finding yourself" comes from spending childhood following someone else's direction. If you've spent years being told what to learn, where to be, what success looks like and what you should be working towards, at some point you have to ask: What do I actually want? Who am I?

If you've had ownership over your life all along, you've spent childhood becoming yourself already.

In this day and age, there are little opportunities to mentor a young prince or princess to fulfil their role in ruling their kingdoms, or taking a Zero to Hero like back in the day.

🧙🏻‍♂️So what is a Wizard to do?

I've heard that children now wish to go on Quests from the comfort of their own homes? Hmmm. Interesting, and that perhaps they wish to gather their Allies on the date of their births to go on these quests!?

🎉Introducing The Wandering Wizard Choose Your Own Adventure One-Shot Parties! 🎉

A unique offering here on the Peninsula to bring some Magick to a Birthday Party or Special Occasion.

One-Shot Parties will involve the Wizard coming to your location for a few hours of high adventure, questing and collaborative shenanigans, Soon you will be able to access a brand new Portal (Website) in which you can browse through different Adventures with their own unique pre-made Character Sheets:

📜Themed Adventures with their own unique Story, Setting, Style and Quests.

👑The Birthday Hero will be the protagonist | with options to include details to customise their unique Character Sheet for the Adventure!

⚗️The option to include a Potion Making Workshop either as a side-activity or integrated into the story itself!

and much more to come as we venture forward!
Stay Tuned for more info on Packages, Adventures, and Prices.

And yes, as we've often heard from parents: "I wish this was available for parents", The Wandering Wizard Shoppe will be doing Adult One-Shot Adventures too!

PLEASE READ AND SHARE

I have created a new GoFundMe for MANA Youth Project Akademy Clubs.
Our Clubs have been going through a pretty big plateau the last few terms unfortunately, and our recent re-location to Mornington has yet to yield any results.

With an all-time low membership, we are facing large space hire fees that we may not be able to maintain even this term.

This will mean complete closure and an end to 3+ years of work to keep our clubs afloat.

Please share this with your network, and if you can, donate to keep our clubs going, even for this Term at least.

Thankyou.

Greetings Community Mentor Rick here, I want to introduc… Rick Boland needs your support for Support MANA Akademy Afterschool Clubs on the Peninsula

One of our MANA Akademy members taking part in our weekly TTRPG Battle Map Prompt: Forest Camp Ambush!

It resulted in a surprise ambush
Battle with monsters
Poison
Power ups and then back to sleep like nothing happened....oh after the Barbarian was carried off by a Griffon 🗡

Join us next week for a new Prompt.

How would you handle our "Prompt of the Day" in our TTRPG Club? 🪢🎲 peace or conflict?

Come on down and show us how you would creatively get your party out of this mess.

Looking out for a volunteer Club Mentor at our MANA Akademy Afterschool Clubs on Thursday afternoons 3.45pm - 5.45pm.

We're attempting to build a new membership and community at our new location within Mornington Community House.

The Club Mentor Volunteer must have some skills they're willing to share in Creative Arts, Writing or bringing something new to the Club.
They must fit the vibe and culture of MANA Youth Project and have an open mind to learn our framework and unique systems.

We have 3 Core Clubs at Mornington and 2 Sub-Clubs

🎨Artist Alley [Club Mentor needed]
📖 Creative Writers Guild
🎲 TTRPG Adventurers Guild
+
🔮Mystic Arts Society
🏴‍☠️Riskbreakers Meet Ups fortnightly every Tuesday

We'd love to meet you, so get in touch and come check out our clubs and have a chat.

Just chatting about MANA Akademy this term as we attempt to build a new community at Mornington - we hope to get some interest from local creatives, as we work towards establishing something unique and fun every Thursday afternoon.

We're lucky to be joined this term by Emily McLeod – a great artist and writer who will be the volunteer Club Mentor for Artist Alley this term.

MANA Akademy Clubs are happening weekly at Mornington Community House
3.45pm – 5.45pm

Here are some of the great art pieces drawn by Emily.
So why not join up to the Akademy in term 3 and develop your interests.
