Dawn of Bodhi – Dec 31 – Jan 1

Dawn of Bodhi

We are excited to offer Dawn of Bodhi as part of the virtual East Coast Winter Retreat. Dawn of Bodhi is a family-based program that gives children and parents an opportunity to practice the Buddha dharma together. The content of the class caters to children ages 4-10, but the program’s structure encourages participation from the whole family unit inviting older kids and teens to take on a leadership role. During the sessions, participants will be guided in an interactive contemplative journey through the use of story and play. There will be an emphasis on learning about meditation posture, practicing relaxation and cultivating a compassionate outlook.
