You will join students from your high school for a special day of fun, mindful awareness, perspective changes the beautiful grounds of the Pendle Hill Retreat Center near Media. It is a rare opportunity to be in a space where you can explore who you are, how you relate, how you can support the best parts of yourself, connect better with others, and make sense of a world that is so often confusing.
In the Inner Strength Program you learn ways to develop:
-
- mindful awareness
- self-reflection
- stress-reduction
- compassionate action
- developmental/systems thinking
What would happen if you were able to spend a whole day with your peers exploring how these tools work and how to apply them to issues that are most important to you?
Join me, Amy Edelstein the founder of ISF, several of our wonderful instructors to find out!
You will be following in illustrious footsteps by contemplating and creating on the Pendle Hill Campus, believe it or not, great philosophers including Jean Paul Sarte lectured there!
There will be plenty of time for outdoor exploration and fun. You will be provided with a hearty vegetarian lunch and two refreshment periods during the day. (Their home-baked treats are pretty awesome!)

I can’t wait to have the whole day together. There is so much to discover!
Warmly,
Amy Edelstein
