“At a time when the need for teen leadership development has never been greater, I cannot think of a better training for teens interested in learning the internal arts of listening deeply, managing strong emotions, and being authentic. In my 40 years in education, I’ve never seen a more well-organized curriculum or skillful faculty.”

“Being on staff at Inward Bound’s teen mindfulness retreat in Crestone, Colorado last summer was a joyful experience. We practiced meditation, yoga, creative writing, and hiking with a wonderful group of teens and teachers. The community-building and heart-opening that unfolded over the week was profound.”

“It’s hard to imagine a more healing and enriching experience than what Inward Bound offers to teens during their residential retreats. The combo of meditation, group sharing, outdoor fun- all in a safe, loving container- is the recipe for transformational magic.”
