The Ardantane Teen Retreat will offer a profound opportunity for the teens of our community to experience a mindful connection with nature, various Pagan paths, and themselves.

We will be exploring how to live our lives with kindness and diversity. Various mentors will be conducting workshops on topics like drum making, outdoor survival, and magick (actual program will be created with teen input). Enjoy a weekend in the wonderful Jemez Mountains on the campus of Ardantane Pagan Learning Center.

This retreat is a 'don't miss!' for any teen interested in experiencing Paganism and mindfulness practices, truthful/heartfelt communication, wonderful mentors, safe community, great food, and a time to relax and meet new friends!
