Dharma for Kids
Sundays, 10:00 – 11:15am (Starting Sept 13)
All parents wish for their children to be happy. In an uncertain and busy world, children and parents need a place to go together to learn how to develop harmony, confidence and methods to help calm our minds and strengthen our families. The children’s class includes a short talk, gentle meditation and arts and crafts activities related to the thought for the week. The class will be taught at the same time as Prayers For World Peace, so parents are welcome to stay with their children or enjoy Prayers for World Peace being offered in the adjacent meditation room.
No registration required.
