The Abundant Life Retreat equips youth to discern their own values as people of faith navigating a complex world. The retreat itself is grounded in and guided by certain values that help us create an inclusive, welcoming, and safe environment for youth:

• Consent and Concern: We are called to act with compassion and respect for ourselves and others

• Health and Wellness: We are called to honor and protect our bodies and whole selves

• Safety and Courage: We deserve to feel safe in our bodies, relationships, and communities and are called to live courageously acting in justice and peace

The Abundant Life Retreat strives to be an affirming space for LGBQTIA+ youth and leaders
