At this special Open House, the whole family is welcome to come for an Introduction to Meditation. We’ll explore the benefits of meditation, learn how a regular practice can improve our daily life, and then we’ll try a simple guided meditation together.
Then we’ll divide into groups – the children will engage in some fun activities with our children’s meditation teachers and our special guest teacher, Kelsang Dragden, a monk from England. The adults can ask questions and explore ways to apply meditation and Buddha’s practical wisdom to family life with our “Parents Panel” — meditation teachers who are parents and grandparents themselves.
Followed by a Free Workshop for Families
Making Life Meaningful: Mindfulness in the Moment
Saturday, October 1, 1-2:30pm
How can we bring meaning into the activities of our daily life? In this workshop we’ll learn how to develop a good intention through the practice of meditation and we’ll explore ways to carry that intention throughout our day. The whole family is welcome to join us.
After a guided meditation, children will explore this theme through games, and arts & crafts projects. Adults will be guided in a longer meditation by one of our meditation teachers, and then have the opportunity to explore and discuss how we can bring meaning into our lives through the power of intention and the practice of mindfulness.
