What is EDEN?

EDEN is a conference made just for young women.  It is designed to help each person write a great story with their life and to make positive decisions. EDEN is an opportunity to share and ask questions to help you take the next step in your life.

Don’t worry there are no boys around, there’s no pressure and you won’t get a lecture. But there is awesome food, fun, lots of talking, asking questions and making new friends. When you leave EDEN you’ll go home with a goodie bag, and some tools to cope with the craziness that life sometimes is. Topics include Emotional, Spiritual and Physical Health (Including Sexual Health). This includes talking about decision making, stress, self-worth.This is what other girls say about EDEN:

EDEN Is a great place to meet new people and gain more knowledge on yourself

EDEN has helped me to understand what I have always wanted to know

The best thing about EDEN was learning that I can create my own story and that my life will be shaped be the decisions I make.

The best thing about EDEN is being able to express myself. Being with people who listen to you and don not judge. The whole environment.

The best thing about EDEN was they helped me emotionally. I thought I couldn’t make it but they have helped me so much with positivity.
