Facilitated by Santiago Mieres

August 10 to 13 at Vision Quest, Valle de Bravo

Adolescence can often feel like a challenging threshold for families. Hormonal changes, sexual awakening, rebellion, and the desire for independence may create concern, yet this stage is also a powerful opportunity to strengthen character, confidence, and ethical grounding.

This retreat is designed especially for young people between 12 and 16 years old, offering a safe and supportive environment where they can connect with peers their own age while exploring important topics with responsibility and care.

The intention is simple and meaningful: to give your child the tools to affirm their identity in the world, build self-esteem, and establish healthy boundaries. This is not about correction, but about empowerment.

Within this space for personal growth, we will explore essential themes such as:

The mystery of the body: what happens to it, to our emotions, and to our self-image?
The art of setting boundaries: how to say “no” to friends, family, and partners with confidence, and why this is vital for dignity.
Peer pressure around alcohol and drugs: practical strategies to resist and stay aligned with personal integrity.
Bullying prevention: effective tools to protect ourselves and support others.
Conscious sexuality: understanding scope, risks, and benefits, always with boundaries at the center.
Reconciliation with parents: ways to improve family communication.
Rebellion: transforming this energy into something positive and constructive.
