“True Self Esteem” Weekend Retreat for Youth at Tagaytay City, Phillipines

GYAN (Global Youth Adult Network) team of Brahma Kumaris, Phillipines, conducted the weekend retreat  at Brahma Kumaris Retreat Center for Spiritual Learning in Tagaytay City, on the topic “True Self Esteem”.

Self-esteem affects every aspect of our lives and can make a huge difference within us. Low self-esteem affects pretty well every member of society and is created so subtly and so easily when they are young. In this retreat, some of the characteristics of self-esteem, how it is created and some of the tools needed to strengthen it were discussed. This retreat was held exclusively for the youth, ages 13-21.

The first three sessions were about seeing my beauty, acknowledging my limit (all the negative and limiting beliefs), and embracing myself (strengths and flaws). There were group sharing, creative sessions including creating own t-shirt/dress using the manila paper that shows all  virtues. First day ended with a bonfire and all participants burned all the limiting negative beliefs. Then there was a group presentation and games (playlist).
