ALL TEENS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND BEYOND ARE WELCOME

Description:
Join us for meditation, relational mindfulness, befriending ourselves, and building saṅgha (community) through fun and experiential Dharma exploration.

In this teen series, learn how to meditate, relax deeply, speak your truth, and develop your mind—all while hanging out with other great people your age. Through the practices of mindfulness and Insight Meditation, we take time to reconnect to ourselves in order to experience more peace, wisdom, and compassion. Classes will include movement, community-building games, meditation instruction, and council—a practice of witnessing the group’s collective wisdom.

Attendance of at least 4 sessions required, including the second session. Video participation is expected as a support for the container, with exceptions for technical or health reasons.

Important Note: All participants must attend the first class meeting. Students are expected to attend at least 4 sessions. Video participation is expected to support the container, with the exception of technical or health reasons.

Registration limit: 23 students. Series fills quickly so register early! No late additions unless by teacher approval.
