On Sunday mornings, parents and kids can attend class together. Kids will enjoy a light-hearted Buddhist story, very brief guided meditation, and hands-on activities.

Frequently asked questions about kids’ meditation classes
“Do I or my family have to be Buddhist to attend?”
Definitely not. People of any religious or non-religious background are welcome to attend. Our only aim is to help children become happier by utilizing practical spiritual tools.
“What age range of children are invited?”
Children of ages are welcome, but the classes are geared for elementary school children. At about age twelve or thirteen, depending upon the child, the child might be more comfortable in the teen or the adult class.
Pre-K children and younger are welcome to attend but should be accompanied by a parent or other adult.
“Do we need to pre-register or sign up?”
No, just drop in.
