Teen Retreat
A Half-Day with JoAnna Harper
Saturday, March 20, 2010 10:00am to 2:00 pm Melrose
With all of the demands of hectic schedules, social lives and pressures from the outside world, this half-day retreat for teens ages fourteen through nineteen will be an opportunity for them to slow down, explore their hearts, minds and emotions and find tools to help them relate to their choices and reactions in a meaningful and balanced way. This is a great opportunity for teens to meet like minded peers and begin the practice of compassionate, open hearted listening and speaking with people who are on the same path. The day will include guided meditations, discussions and council in a format that JoAnna Harper has been practicing with teens for the past five years.
$25 Suggested Donation - no one is ever turned away for lack of funds.
