C2: Coming of Age Cafe
C2 is a unique coming-of-age space designed to honor youth choice and support them in taking ownership of their spiritual paths, C2 is a space where youth can connect, collaborate, create, and rest while exploring the deep questions of identity, belonging, and purpose. Each week, the group will be invited to explore questions such as:
- How do I honor the child I once was…and will carry with me?
- What are the labels and expectations our families put on us?
- Where is the line between belonging and fitting in?
- What privileges belong to me, and how do I use them to support the belonging of others?
- How do I honor where I come from?
- How do I celebrate the unique me?
- How do I prevent labels from hemming me in?
- What are my core values?
- What are my passions and joys?
- Who do I hope to become?
- How do we disagree without destroying relationships?
- How do I resist “me-ism” and honor our intertwined fates?
Then youth can choose how they’d like to go deeper with that week’s theme. Whether they choose to play a game, make art, enjoy a snack, quietly reflect, or simply relax, C2 is an intentional time for youth to nurture their well-being, explore those big coming-of-age questions as they move from childhood to adolescence, and discover the answers together.
