Awakening the heart of wisdom and compassion in the next generation. Classes divided by age group, serving nursery through high school.
Our joyful mission is to awaken the heart of great wisdom and compassion in the next generation. Fifteen volunteer teachers and one staff specialist in Buddhist curriculum provide programs for nursery to high school - in seven separate age groups.
Mindfulness and/or meditation are part of each class. We convey the teaching message with stories, presentation and discussion. We embody the teaching with creative activities ranging from games and skits to journaling and service projects. Rather than tell students what they "should" do, we co-create awakening practices, then encourage students to experiment and find what works best for them.
