Classes for Children
Monthly Meditation Classes
In Person
Saturdays 2pm – 3pm
The teachings of Buddha and learning to meditate are ideal for children to help them let go of their daily worries and concerns and to have a peaceful and relaxed mind and develop a positive outlook.
Many children and young people have busy and distracted minds, and they struggle with anxiety, worries and lack of confidence.
By trying simple, guided meditations, they can learn how to stay calm and happy, no matter how difficult things seem to be.
“with such busy lives, meditation is so important for everyone these days, including children” – One of the parents of the children who attend the children’s class.
We offer the following:
