Children’s Class

This program runs concurrently with The Buddha’s Way of Mindfulness. We meet every other week beginning March 2, 2008, 10AM – noon.   The class is for K-12 children. Parents with children younger can attend though will need a parent or guardian with them for the duration of the class.

We start our program at 10 AM sharp for short periods of chanting, meditation and discussion with a Dhamma related theme.  Children will then be guided and supported to take the current theme and explore crafts and games while their adults are doing their thing just down the hall.

At noon all the families and community will come together for an optional potluck.  This program is for school-aged children K through 12th grades, is run and supported by parent and teen volunteers, Sakula and visiting monastics.

In keeping with all our philosophy, this program is supported entirely by dana.

If you have questions, or would like to support or volunteer, please contact Laura Bitts

Please check the calendar page often for schedule updates.
