RETREATS
My advice to the young generation:
Let's Taco 'Bout Taboos
YJA is composed of a network of six regions throughout the United States. Each year, individual regions host a weekend retreat to bring youth from different states across the region together. YJA regional retreats are both a spiritual and a social experience - they give Jain youth a space to learn from
each others' experiences and different perspectives on Jainism, and also to form new friendships!
Each retreat follows the same general structure, with some variations based on the location and available activities. All retreats feature Jain speakers, delicious Jain food, educational sessions and social
activities, group discussions on various topics, and bonding with great friends!
