Elements of Peace is a Contemplative Sciences Center community partnership program. 

The Elements of Peace Summer Program offers youth (ages 11-15) a fun, screen-free experience for rest, reflection, and connection before the next school year begins. Rooted in contemplative and creative practices, we invite participants to slow down, reflect, and engage in authentic community-building and elemental immersion practices with earth, water, fire, wind, and space.

Grounded in values of kindness, joy, and balance the program creates a space where young people can reconnect with themselves, one another, and the world around them.`

This program is offered by Elements of Peace in partnership with Love No Ego Foundation, UVA's Contemplative Sciences Center, the UVA Center for Community Partnerships, and others.
