Core Healing Methods:

1. Vipassana Meditation

   A deep meditation practice guiding participants to observe thoughts and emotions without judgment, promoting inner clarity and self-acceptance. Vipassana fosters a calm and centered mind, helping teens build resilience and a profound sense of inner peace.

2. Gestalt Therapy

   Led by a Gestalt therapist, these sessions help teens reconnect with their inner child, addressing unresolved emotions from the past. Techniques such as the Empty Chair and Inner Child Dialogue promote self-compassion and healing, encouraging participants to embrace all parts of themselves.

3. Shadow Work

   Through guided visualization, teens explore and acknowledge shadow aspects of themselves, such as insecurities and unresolved emotions. This compassionate practice, followed by reflective journaling, promotes self-acceptance and emotional balance, helping participants achieve a deeper understanding of themselves.
