At 10 AM, children 3-12 with parents will sing a song, listen to a book about how acts of kindness impact oneself, practice golden light lovingkindness meditation, and make "heartprints". Parental help with the craft will be needed; the supplies required to have on hand are a large thin cardboard sheet or butcher paper, colored paper, scissors, glue, and crayons or pens. You may want to cut out palm-sized (large enough to draw or write on) hearts from the colored paper in advance.
At 11 AM, parents will hear a talk on rousing lovingkindness (metta or maitri) toward oneself, given by Linda Mockeridge. This will be boring for most children, so if parents are urgently needed for another game elsewhere in the house, we understand. If parents can stay, there will be an opportunity to practice traditional lovingkindness meditation for a moment of tending to one's inner state.
The Shambhala Growing Brave family meditation program is based on the principles that all children embody innate goodness, curiosity, and kindness. We explore Buddhist and Shambhala themes through play, music, art, and stories while incorporating simple, age appropriate mindfulness activities.
