Youth Sahavas 2026
Dear Friends,
Jai Meher Baba! We are so happy to announce the 36th Youth Sahavas at Meher Center from July 21st to 26th when the Center will be entirely reserved for teens and the Sahavas staff working with them. During the Sahavas, participants will stay in Center cabins with experienced counselors, enjoy vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals and snacks, fill their days with art and music, fun and games, beach time and nap time, meaningful discussions, performances, dances and plays—and by His grace, will all be infused with His love.
Registration is now open. Please register as soon as you can to reserve your spot.
Below are details to remember and consider:
