Hello!
-- I am excited to share with you a wonderful summer opportunity for teens. Inward Bound Mindfulness Education (iBme) is a non-profit organization that runs mindfulness retreats for teens across the country. I have personally staffed their teen retreats and it's such an incredible gift to witness the transformation that this unique setting offers. This year, iBme is offering a retreat in Madison, VA. We'd love your help in spreading the word and directing any interested teen you know to our program.
iBme offers participants a chance to learn self-awareness, mindful communication, and techniques to calm and focus the mind - the foundations for success in all areas of life. Participants spend time each day learning mindfulness meditation - a scientifically proven practice that builds emotional resilience, inner strength and well being. Visit iBme's website or watch a video about their retreats.

Teens and parents consistently share powerful feedback about their experience:
"I learned about having hope instead of worry." - Mei, age 16 (teen)
"After a couple of days my whole outlook on life was changed. It was an awesome experience. I would encourage any teen to come here" . – Josh, age 15 (teen)
"The counselors were wonderful and I couldn't be more pleased with their positive impact on my daughter. Their ability to connect with teens, to actively listen, wisely impart knowledge, infuse joy, compassionately hold their confusion -- it is all a blessing of the greatest proportion. Thank you." (parent)
A flyer is attached, and you can certainly email me with any questions, as I will be serving as a volunteer staff on one of the retreats and have served as staff in the past.
Much metta,
Em
