Windstock: 20 years of a Bahá'í youth retreat in the Gorge
The 20th annual Windstock youth retreat has now come and gone. Held every year in the hills above Lyle, the somewhat informal event draws Bahá'í youth and their friends from around the region. Over 90 youth showed up for this Windstock, around three quarters of whom were Bahá'ís. This year also saw a large group of new attendees, with about one third of the youth participating for the first time.
Bahá'í month of Fasting begins
For the next 19 days, your Bahá'í friends may not be joining you for lunch. Between the 2nd and the 20th of March, Bahá'ís in the Gorge and around the world will be fasting, neither eating nor drinking between sunrise and sunset each day.
Videos from International Youth Conferences
Over the course of the past summer, Baha'i communities around the world organized a total of 114 youth conferences attended by tens of thousands of young people, including 7 from right here in the Gorge. The purpose of the conferences was to foster consultation on themes such as "the characteristics inherent to the period of youth, the historical contribution of young people to the transformation of society, the responsibilities of the present generation of youth, the society-building power of the Bahá’í Teachings, and the importance of faith and tenacity to a life of service."
