Ring in the new year with mindfulness & merriment! I am delighted to be returning to teach as a part of Inward Bound Mindfulness's NorCal Teen Retreat.

Inward Bound Mindfulness teen retreats offer young people the rare opportunity to gain uninterrupted and genuine insight into their life experience through the practice of mindfulness. Together with peers and mindfulness teachers, teens hang out and connect within a welcoming, fun, and caring community.

I saw firsthand the beautiful connections that were made, how teens felt safe to be themselves, and the power of practice. I witnessed unconditional positive regard being practiced with all beings. All of the teachers on this retreat embodied the teachings of dharma and held every single person with such support. The teens were courageous with their shares. I had powerful conversations with several of them about oppression, climate change, gender norms, resistance, social media, and finding hope in the face of hopelessness.
