Online Courses

As we continue to face a challenging year and ongoing disruption to our lives, we have worked hard to move our programs online and make the iBme experience accessible to everyone in this difficult time.

Our online courses have allowed young people to continue to experience the benefits of mindfulness and ongoing community support in these challenging circumstances.

We have been awarded funding to offer ten free online programmes and our interactive course “Finding Calm in the Chaos”. These courses offer young people a dynamic learning experience to explore practical ways of building more emotional resilience and wellbeing. Eight of these courses have been offered to youth groups and schools. Two courses are open to public booking, see calendar below for further information and to book a place.

Residential Retreats

Inward Bound Mindfulness Education (iBme) Youth Retreats

Our multi-day residential retreats teach young people (15-19) proven awareness and concentration practices. Through guided mindfulness meditation, small group discussions, and mindful movement, participants learn how to settle a busy mind, direct and sustain attention, investigate emotions and thoughts, cultivate compassion, and communicate with their peers.

The daily schedule includes free time to connect with new friends and dynamic workshops, that offer a range of experiences from creative and movement arts, sports, nature awareness, creative writing, and more! Many hesitant young people walk away saying it was one of the best experiences of their lives.

We offer a retreat experience of the highest quality. Our retreat teachers and staff are senior experts in their fields, drawing on decades of experience. The youth to staff ratio on every retreat is 2 or 3 to 1, ensuring that your teen receives exceptional support and mentoring. The skills and experiences that young people gain on retreat are unparalleled and go on to support them throughout the rest of their lives. Our testimonials from parents and teens speak for themselves.

"The course gave me structure in my day and kept me connected to others. It helped me ‘surf’ the difficult emotions surrounding COVID 19 (anxiety, stress, lack of sleep, frustration.) "
