Inward Bound Mindfulness Education – Northeast Teen RetreatFeatured

Be loved + accepted for who you are - Mindfulness retreats provide young people with the rare opportunity to experience uninterrupted and genuine insight into their own life experience while connecting with their peers and mindfulness teachers in a welcoming and safe community. Come for the fun & friends. Stay for the calm & community.

Make Happiness Easier - Learn how to release tension, pain, and self-judgment through the practice of mindfulness.

Share Who You Are - Authentically share who you are with your peers in small groups, workshops, creative/art shows, during walks in the woods, and more.

Forge Meaningful Relationships - You always have a friend at iBme! Connect with people in a safe, welcoming space where you don’t have to “fit in” to be loved, to make friends, to be yourself.

Find Your Center - Gain tools to deepen understanding of your inner life, and apply skills for navigating your thoughts and emotions.
