LOCAL WORKSHOP
Why Quick Workshops
Not everyone is ready for a four-day or a seven-day retreat. Maybe your child has never done anything like this. Maybe you want to see what we are about before committing. Maybe a half-day is all your schedule allows right now.
That is exactly what these workshops are for. A real experience – not a watered-down version. The same facilitators, the same approach, the same care. Just shorter, closer to home, and easier to say yes to.
FOR PARENTS
Why Parents Choose YST for Their Child’s Growth
Parenting is learned, not instinctive — but no one teaches it. These workshops give you practical tools, honest conversations, and the relief of being in a room full of parents who understand exactly how hard this is.
How to Stay Calm When They Cannot
Your calm is their anchor. Learn to regulate yourself first — so you can help them regulate too.
Understanding What is Underneath
Behavior is communication. Learn to see what your child is really asking for — even when they cannot say it themselves.
Less Guilt, More Clarity
Parenting advice is everywhere and most of it is contradictory. Walk away with a clearer sense of what actually matters and permission to let go of the rest.
Words That Actually Work
What to say during meltdowns, defiance, and shut-downs. Practical phrases you will use the same evening.
Repairing After You Lose It
Because you will. Every parent does. What matters is what happens next. Learn how to reconnect without shame or guilt.
A Room Full of Parents Who Get It
The loneliest part of parenting is thinking you are the only one struggling. You are not. This room proves it.
MEET OUR TEAM
Trained Facilitators Who Hold Space
We don’t instruct – we create conditions where children feel safe enough to explore, express, and discover.
FOR CHILDREN
A Screen-Free Day to Be a Child
Parenting is learned, not instinctive — but no one teaches it. These workshops give you practical tools, honest conversations, and the relief of being in a room full of parents who understand exactly how hard this is.
Games That Build Connection
Cooperative activities where everyone is needed. No winners, no losers — just teamwork, laughter, and the experience of belonging.
A Circle Where Every Voice Matters
Sharing time where children practice listening and being heard. A talking object passes hand to hand. Everyone gets a turn. No one is rushed.
Creative Expression
Art, clay, movement, storytelling. No grades, no right way. Just the freedom to make something and the joy of getting messy.
Tools for Big Feelings
Simple techniques for calming down when emotions feel too big. Breathing, movement, grounding taught through play so they actually remember.
Give Them Roots. Give Them Wings.
Four days that plant seeds for a lifetime. Limited spots available for upcoming camps.
For Teens (Age's 13- 17 )
Where Teens Can Be Honest, Not Impressed
A few hours away from school, screens, and expectations. Real conversations with peers who are figuring out the same things. No lectures, no advice, no adults pretending they have all the answers.
Conversations That Actually Matter
Facilitated discussions about real things identity, pressure, fear, belonging. No one is forced to share. But most do, because the space makes honesty feel safe.
Tools That Actually Help
Practical techniques for anxiety, overwhelm, and the noise that never stops. Not theory things they can use tomorrow.
A Break from the Performance
No followers watching. No grades being given. No one to impress. Just a few hours to exist without the constant pressure of being evaluated.
People Who Get It
Other teenagers going through the same things. Sometimes that is all you need to know you are not the only one.

FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions
Do not force it. Share this page with them and let them decide. Teenagers engage better when they have chosen to be there. If they are curious but hesitant, we can arrange a brief call with them directly — sometimes hearing it from us instead of a parent makes a difference.
No. Children and teen workshops are drop-off format. This independence is part of the experience — children open up differently when parents are not present. You are welcome to stay nearby, and we will contact you if needed.
We occasionally offer parent–child workshops for specific themes. Check the upcoming workshops section or join our mailing list to be notified.
First-timers are welcome — workshops are actually designed with them in mind. Our facilitators are trained to help children feel safe and included from the first moment. If your child is particularly anxious, reach out and we can discuss whether a workshop or a discovery call might be a better first step.
Absolutely. Parent workshops are valuable on their own — you do not need to send your child anywhere. Many parents come for themselves first.
Most programs focus on achievement, skills, or adventure. BECOMING focuses on inner work — identity, self-awareness, emotional clarity. We are not building resumes. We are not creating leaders. We are giving teenagers the rare gift of space to understand who they are becoming.
