About the Class

In this lighthearted class, children learn ways to increase their positive minds of patience, respect, giving, and loving kindness through guided meditation and fun activities. Each class is designed to engage a child's mind and interests by presenting modern Buddhism in a way that is easy to learn and practice. Regular attendance at these classes can assist your child with the development of important life skills such as increased empathy, respect for others, self-control and concentration.

Through practice and familiarity, children learn to develop peaceful minds, build inner strength, and increase their self-confidence by nurturing their own good qualities. Each class includes a short, guided meditation with instruction on helpful and meaningful meditation posture. A teaching and topic-based activities follow, both designed to help children engage, learn, and have fun.
