General Youth Retreat 2006





Theme: Canoeing through Life's Cascades

Audience - 65 non BK youth (aged 14-25 years)

Venue: The Cascadia Hotel and Conference Centre, Trinidad

Date - Friday 4th August - Sunday 6th August 2006

Activities included: Inner Reflections, Creative Workshops, Interactive Forums, Recreational Activities and Dialogues

Brief Overview:

This residential retreat looked at life through the eyes of a canoist. "Canoeing in whitewaters is full of newness, excitement, challenges and risks. It's an unforseen journey. The twists and bends cannot be predicted; the bumps and curves unavoidable. A very interesting masterpiece but also one that can be enjoyed.

The beauty of life lies not just in going through the movements but embracing each scene as it comes and extracting the essence."

So through the activities mentioned above and two invited guest speakers, the youth present were exposed to practical methods to enjoying the journey of life and seeing it from a different side and not always something that is always complicated and confusing.
