Description:This retreat is designed to provide an intensive environment for young people ages 14-19 to experience mindfulness meditation, mindful movement, and community - in an atmosphere of acceptance, support and kindness.
This six day camping retreat provides an opportunity for young people to cultivate self-love and acceptance, and to come into more alignment with who they truly are. With the help of an experienced and compassionate adult staff and beautiful surroundings, participants deepen their awareness of self, the world they live in, and the way they interact with others.
The retreat is based on the curriculum designed by iBme. You can read more about them at: www.ibme.info
