Our Story |
iBme is part of a 20-year lineage of teen mindfulness retreats that began in Barre, MA. Jessica Morey, iBme’s current Executive Director, attended her first teen retreat at the age of 14. This experience transformed her life and she continued to return to teen retreats throughout her high school years. After graduating from college, Jessica continued to practice mindfulness meditation and stay involved in teen retreats.
In 2007, Joe Klein started Inward Bound Mindfulness Education (iBme) with the intention of starting a full time organization devoted to hosting teen retreats. Over the years, Joe helped grow the organization in the Washington DC/Virginia area.
Since then, iBme has grown from a local DC based organization to a national organization hosting retreats in six different locations across the country. As mindfulness grows in popularity, iBme is devoted to preserving the integrity and depth of the practice through our proven retreat model.
