Curriculum Overview:
Youth engage in a transformative journey centered around the theme “Don’t Go Back to Sleep,” focusing on awakening to infinite possibility. Through discussions, mindfulness exercises, and creative expression, they’ll explore shedding old beliefs, embracing new ideas, and staying present on their spiritual path. The lesson culminates in a reflective moment inspired by a skit about speaking up and embracing divine potential.
