Come and join young meditators to discover that meditation can be FUN and EMPOWERING. Together we will examine what it means to be true to ourselves and to be truly beautiful. We shall look deeply at the forces that move us during this period of growth, such as the need for independence and self-determination, the concern for relationships with our peers, our parents and ourselves, the discovery of newfound feelings and emotions, and many others. We will explore these new influences in light of our true freedom and happiness and learn practices that can help us nourish this freedom and happiness- practices such as self-awareness (of feelings, of body, of behavior, of thinking), concentration (focus), and deep communication. Other practices will include: meditative practices (sitting, walking & eating), deep communication (silence, speaking, and listening), body care (yoga, Khi Cong stick), and creative expressions (art, music, group games and writing). Participants are asked to attend the whole of the retreat.This is an annual retreat.
For parents and younger siblings- please attend the Family Retreat where there will be a program for children and adults.
No exceptions.
