-The following first appeared in The Floyd Press on April 2, 2015.

Over the March 21st weekend 24 young adults aged 18-34 attended the first in a series of Young Adult Meditation Retreats at the Floyd EcoVillage.  The retreat was organized and led by Joe Klein, LPC and founder of iBme/Inward Bound 1xrzetrea14Mindfulness Education, and Dr. Alan Forest, LPC and Radford University

Most of the retreat attendees were university students from Emory and Henry College, Virginia Tech, VCU and other Mid-Atlantic colleges.  One-third of the attendees were alumni of past iBme Teen Meditation retreats led by Klein.

The retreat consisted of periods of walking and sitting meditation (both 52rtinside and outside) and small group discussions.  Michael Blackwell of Natural Intelligence Designs led Nature Connection workshops.

The next retreat in the series will be 3 night retreat held over Memorial Day weekend, May 22-25.  Please contact Klein at 540-745-2254 or visit the floydecovillage.com for more information.
