Fall Teen Retreat

with Pablo Coddou and Anne-marie Keppel

October 25 - 27, 2019

At the heart of the Shambhala teachings is the understanding that every person is fundamentally good. This weekend will explore our everyday experiences of fundamental goodness and what it might look like to lead our lives from this basic principle. Together we will create a culture of goodness that will encourage our innate qualities of kindness, wisdom, inner strength and joy to emerge.

Price includes Shrine Room Accommodations.

Check out the Blog to find out which one of the dynamic duo leading the teen retreat was a circus performer, and which one was an introverted serious book-worm, encased in the spirit of a wild, intense dancer.

For Teens: Ages 13 - 18

In a busy, high-pressure, hi-tech world, the teachings on awareness and warriorship offer teens an opportunity to slow down, learn about oneself, and open one's heart to others. Teens will be introduced to meditation practice, engage in arts, time outdoors, group games, and will have open time with peers as well.
