Trent Yaconelli shares how the Gratitude Candle Ceremony helps teens slow down, reflect, and connect in a powerful and lasting way.
This retreat started with a simple idea: teens need space.
Space to step away from pressure, responsibilities, and expectations—and just be.
Over time, it has grown into a meaningful experience supported by trained staff and therapists, while staying rooted in that same purpose.
Each year, teens leave feeling more connected, more confident, and reminded they’re not alone.
