Who Are We ?
Our Beliefs
Lighten our heart
Everyone’s nature shall have happiness and positive feelings in heart. With Meditation, youth can release the negativity inside, and lighten their heart to explore their potential.
Peer supports peer
Everyone has once experienced a hard time. It could be caused by a past instance or relationships in family or school. We understand because we have experienced – We wish to create a peer support zone to the youth in Hong Kong who are in need.
Experience vs obstacle
We believe that the negative feelings are a temporary experience but not an obstacle of life. We are here to transform the obstacle of heart into experience, ultimately bring growth and wisdom to youth life.

Cultivate the inner happiness of the heart among all Youth and Youth Adults in Hong Kong and no teenagers experiencing mental illness.
