Outreach Programming
Open Minds Youth Retreats
Open Minds is a Maryland-based nonprofit that holds retreats and school programming centered around mindfulness education. The Open Minds Youth retreat exemplifies the healing power of nature, presence, and support. Over a week, young adults from the city get an opportunity to develop connections with self, each other and the natural world within the acres of Morning View Food Forest and Appalachia.
We need YOUR support for this program to continue. This beautiful 32-minute documentary shows the profound impact these retreats can have in these young lives. We are more than halfway to raising the $10,000 that we need to run this year’s retreat: July 10-17, 2020. ANY donation for this program gets you a link to stream the full documentary OR you can request a ticket to come to see a screening in our forest amphitheater in the spring & summer of 2020. 100% of donations made by clicking the link below will go to support this program specifically.
