Spring YFM Retreat
Fifty nine folks - including Youth Of Unity (Y.O.U.) and Uniteens and their adults attended the Great Lakes Spring Youth Retreat April 26-28th. The Theme was Uncover Your Voice, and the group embodied through small and large group activities, meditations, a dance, and a graduation ceremony. This was the largest gathering of teens across the Great Lakes region since before Covid and we are very grateful for all your support and are thrilled to see the momentum building!

CHAPTER X - A New Way for Y.O.U. without an in-person Chapter to Connect to
In Chapter X, teens can experience a family group and deepen their spirituality with a focus on heart-centered metaphysics to help address the YOU gap exacerbated by the pandemic, offer an opportunity for youth to build leadership skills and meet the need for community so many people are longing for!
Chapter X launched in September and meets twice a month on Sunday evenings at 5 PM Central, 6 PM Eastern time.
