On Sunday mornings, parents and kids can attend class together. Parents can attend class upstairs while kids attend their own class downstairs. Kids will enjoy a light-hearted Buddhist story, very brief guided meditation, and hands-on activities.
Class will start at 10:30am and end around 11:30am. While the adults finish their class upstairs, kids can play with toys provided by Ganden Center.
We also offer weekly classes for teens!
