In a safe and fun environment, teens work with group leaders to explore basic Buddhist meditation and values. By learning how the Buddha's teachings are relevant to today's society, teens develop a deeper appreciation of their own self-worth and a recognition of how they can make the world a better place just by having an open heart and Big Love. The workshop centers around the 16 Guidelines for a Happy Life from the FPMT Essential Education Program and is loosely based on the FPMT's Loving Kindness Peaceful Youth program: How we think: humility, patience, contentment, delight How we act: kindness, honesty, generosity, right speech How we relate to others: respect, forgiveness, gratitude, loyalty How we find meaning: principles, aspiration, service, courage Each half-day session centers around meditation, discussion, a range of fun activities and projects, and chill time with new friends. Explorations include: How to meditate Developing inner peace Mindful listening Transforming negative emotions Expressing mindfulness through art Nature walks More of the background "hows and whys"about the camp on the blog.
