YES! 2

A live interactive course for YES! Graduates to help your teens go deeper, ages 13-18

EMPOWER YOUR TEEN TO GO DEEPER

YES! 2 is an advanced meditation and leadership workshop designed for students aged 13 to 18 who have completed the YES! Workshop and are ready to deepen their journey of self-discovery, growth and leadership.

Through simple yet powerful practices, insightful knowledge and deep meditation, teens are invited to transcend their self-limiting beliefs, expand their potential and break through personal barriers.

They discover how to harness their energy for their own growth and to make a positive impact in their communities, experiencing the joy of service, the renewal found in silence and the clarity that meditation brings.

YES! 2 creates a dedicated space for meaningful self-reflection and real-world application of these skills. For parents familiar with Art of Living’s adult programmes, this workshop combines the transformative elements of the Silence Retreat, DSN, and Volunteer Training, tailored specifically for teens.

WHY CHOOSE YES! 2?

Leadership Skills

Leadership is an essential skill that benefits every aspect of life and is best nurtured from a young age. YES! 2 offers teens a hands-on, experiential approach to developing these skills, empowering them to grow into confident leaders. Through real community-based projects, teens actively practice leadership within a team, gaining invaluable experience and making a positive impact.

Feel Secure

In a safe and supportive environment, teens develop the confidence to navigate the physical, emotional and intellectual changes of adolescence with resilience and ease.

Learning Through Sharing

Teens gain valuable insight by opening up about their own challenges and by listening with empathy to the experiences of their peers. Through shared stories, they discover they're not alone and grow together in understanding and resilience.

Build Self-Control & Self Awareness

Teens learn to manage their emotions, take responsibility for their actions and build greater self-awareness. By recognising and overcoming limiting habits and thought patterns, they gain the confidence and clarity to lead themselves and create positive change in their lives.

Think Big

Teens often turn inward, until they’re inspired by a purpose greater than themselves. This programme sparks that shift, encouraging them to look beyond their own world and take meaningful action.

What do participants say

Being a youth, I’ve undergone so many challenges and so many times it resulted in being depressed and angry. It’s all so confusing at this age. But when I did the Sudarshan Kriya, it changed all this. Once upon a time, I would just criticize myself so much and I used to hate myself but the Kriya made me feel beautiful from inside. I, then, started loving and respecting myself. It changed my attitude towards life completely!
