Genesis - Our First Pilot Program

Genesis - T3's First Pilot Program

Teens Thriving Together (T3) is excited to introduce Genesis, our first pilot program hosted at Community 729. This groundbreaking initiative, set to begin on May 13, 2025, marks the beginning of our journey to empower young adults through holistic healing practices and connection with nature.

Program Overview and Continuous Improvement

Genesis is designed as a 90-minute session that introduces young adults to three powerful healing methods: Tai Chi, Grounding, and Mindfulness. Each session is carefully crafted to provide a balanced and immersive experience, guided by our experienced practitioners and a dedicated host.

Our Healing Methods

1. Tai Chi

   An ancient Chinese practice combining slow, graceful movements with meditation and deep breathing. This gentle form of exercise helps young adults improve balance, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.

2. Grounding

   Grounding techniques connect young adults to the present moment and the earth beneath them. These practices alleviate anxiety, improve focus, and foster a sense of stability in daily life.

3. Mindfulness

   Mindfulness encourages present-moment awareness, helping young adults observe thoughts non-judgmentally. With CBT-based activities, it builds emotional clarity, resilience, and mental calm.

Join Us at Community 729

We are excited to be aligned with Community 729 on this joint initiative to see teens thrive. The beautiful setting, including the Baloo Garden shown above, provides an ideal environment for young adults to disconnect from digital distractions and reconnect with themselves and nature.
