Upcoming Youth Curriculum
June 7 — I Want to Know What Love Is
Affirmation: I celebrate all of me as the fullness of Love.
Youth and teens will explore how Love can be present in both joyful and uncomfortable moments. During a guided heart-centered breathing meditation, they’ll practice placing a hand on their heart while noticing emotions without judgment. They’ll also create “Love Shields” decorated with words and symbols representing the parts of themselves they are learning to embrace with compassion and acceptance.
June 14 — I Was Made for Loving You
Affirmation: I shine and share as Love.
This week focuses on expressing Love through everyday interactions. Youth and teens will participate in a mindful listening exercise where partners share while the other listens without interrupting. They’ll also play a “Kindness Challenge Relay,” completing fun acts of encouragement, teamwork, and appreciation that demonstrate how small actions can create meaningful connection and belonging.
June 21 — What’s Love Got to Do With It?
Affirmation: Love is the faces and the life around me.
Youth and teens will reflect on how Love helps heal separation within communities and the world. During a candle-light mindfulness circle, each participant will share one way they hope to bring more compassion into the world. They’ll then work together on a collaborative “Humanity Mural,” adding drawings, affirmations, and handprints that represent unity, diversity, and collective healing.
June 28 — Love Lifts Us Up Where We Belong
Affirmation: I am consciously co-creating a Higher Deeper Love in the world.
In our final week, youth and teens will explore how gratitude and intentional choices help shape a more loving world. They’ll practice a silent gratitude walk, noticing beauty, kindness, and connection around them. Together, they’ll complete a “Ripple Effect” activity by writing loving actions on paper circles and connecting them into a giant chain, symbolizing how one act of Love can uplift an entire community
