“It really taught me that I lack nothing.” – Ritu, age 17

Why Your Gift Matters

Illuminating the iBme retreat experience is like looking through a kaleidoscope: from one moment to the next exists a beautiful dance of being and becoming. When this flow of grounding and growing is sustained for a whole retreat, teens experience unparalleled nurturing and possibility. The results are often life-changing.

Since 2017, iBme supporters have provided 2,122 youth (78% of total participants) with $1.9 million in tuition assistance. With your generous support and the timeless expertise of our teachers and mentors, we were able to meet the mounting mental and emotional needs of teens this year, all while welcoming a record number of first-time participants. We also celebrated the national launch of our custom programs and the graduation of 42 mindfulness teacher training professionals.

As our 2023 retreat schedule welcomes back more pre-pandemic regions and families experience further financial hardships, the need for scholarship support will only increase. Please make a gift today to ensure that every teen is able to ground and grow in the year ahead.

Please learn more about our current impact in our 2021 Annual Report.
