Canadian Council Appoints National Youth Coordinator

It can seem as though anxiety fuels our culture, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and directionless. Youth and young-adults are exponentially experiencing greater pressures and are bombarded by competing messages, yet many are searching for spiritual meaning and purpose to find balance in their lives. A personal meditation practice may be the key. The Canadian Christian Meditation Community (CCMC) recognizes this and has begun to actively reach out to them.

The CCMC has selected, for a two year term beginning January 2010, a National Youth Coordinator to promote and share Christian Meditation with youth and young-adults. The objectives are simple:

Our objectives are bold, but with will, determination and support from the Canadian community they are achievable. Over the next year and a half, I hope to work with you to bring these goals to fruition and help foster the next generation of meditators in our community.

So just who is covered by the term “youth and young adult”? For the purposes of this initiative the age range would be roughly 16 to 39.

If you are, or know someone who is, a young adult or student seeking to connect with others across Canada to further and deepen their meditation practice, feel free to contact me to receive more information as this initiative moves forward. All walks of life and backgrounds are welcome. We have come to meditation from a variety of paths, and we believe in its potential to transform people and the world regardless of age.

We would also appreciate hearing about any initiatives with youth and young adults in your area. Sharing our experiences helps us all.
