Kathryn has delivered presentations to adults for the Denver Partnership for Adolescent Concerns and Successes, sponsored by the Denver Mayor's Office; the Denver Department of Health and Human Services; Warren Village Community for single parents; Mi Casa Resource Center for Women, and multiple times at the Women of Color Conference on HIV and AIDS, where she was honored in 2005 with an award for Outstanding Dedication and Commitment to Women. In 2007 - 2008 she conducted doll-building workshops for Mental Health Center of Denver's Voz y Corazon Suicide Prevention program; more workshops are scheduled for fall 2008. 

Rubicon Moon has been created to bring new tools to adults and to empower girls with an honoring perspective towards the menstrual experience, so irrevocably defining us as female. Providing a positive attitude towards this fundamental feminine function strengthens healthy body image at the deepest level, counteracting the cultural focus on appearance.  Rubicon Moon workshops restore a sense of the sacred and connect 'moontime'  - as it's known all over the world - to the search for purpose that is so much at the heart of adolescent identity-seeking. 

Kathryn Harris, a student of Sobonfu Some and founder of Rubicon Moon, has an extensive background in youth self-esteem and sexual health issues. As a member of the Colorado Women's Health Advocacy Coalition, and serving on the Board of the AIDS Coalition for Education, she participated in producing educational forums for professionals working in schools, public health agencies, and community.  For eight years, she worked in the FENIX Project of Mi Casa Resource Center for Women in Denver, Colorado, a program training teens to become health advisors to their own peer networks.  She has represented the voice of youth for the Colorado Department of Education, and given in-service training to staff at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. She currently works for Sisters of Color United for Education, Colorado's oldest Promotora program.

This curriculum has been the basis for multi-session workshops given to middle school girls at The Lake Beacons Project, and to teens and 'tweens' at Girls Incorporated of Metro Denver, where it was nominated, in 2005, for a national award in Health/Sexuality Education.
