-
create balance in their lives through self-care routines

increase awareness and executive control
-
be resilient to a constantly changing world
-
gain wisdom based on both modern and ancient knowledge

Quantum Youth is a lively space in which teens aged 13-19 and pre-teens aged 9-12 can connect while they develop wisdom, compassion, and curiosity for all life holds.
Naomi Worth, Ph.D. is the founder and facilitator. Naomi received her Ph.D. in Buddhist Studies at the University of Virginia in 2022, where she was a founding member of the Contemplative Sciences Center, the basis of UVA's Student Flourishing initiative. For ten years, she developed student programs, consulted on contemplative pedagogy in higher education, and taught yoga and meditation to undergraduates.
Naomi's mission is to interpret the latest research on teen flourishing, positive psychology, and methods for developing executive functioning for families with teens who are struggling or just need some support.
Naomi is a native of East Hampton and is currently a high school social studies teacher in Long Island City. You can view her academic work here. In a recent podcast, Naomi discusses her work with teens and her original research living in a Tibetan Buddhist monastery and nunnery for a year.
Quantum Youth is a platform for teen wellness where teens will also enjoy all the natural beauty the East End has to offer.
