In this episode of Mindful Mud, I speak with Devon Sangster Rath and Anthony Maes ("T") about mindfulness for teens, the deep support a retreat setting can offer, and the kind of authenticity that is needed when working with adolescents. We explore the work of Inward Bound Mindfulness, also known as I Be Me, and talk about how retreat can become a safe and powerful space for real transformation.
Devon and Anthony share their personal paths into mindfulness, what makes teen retreats both deep and accessible, and why no tech can be surprisingly healing for young people. We speak about connection, the importance of feeling safe enough to be real, and the kinds of shifts that can stay with teens for life.
We also talk about Dharma Homies, their daily relational mindfulness group on Zoom that is open to everyone. This is a heartfelt conversation about presence, belonging, and the healing power of mindful community.
