Every first Sunday of the month, kids ages 4-11 have the opportunity to join their parents at KMC Georgia! Our kids program runs concurrently to the adult Sunday morning class.. Each class includes a prayer, short teaching, short meditation and a craft project that explores the spiritual theme of the teaching.
Our kids classes teach kids how to meditate plus introduce them to foundational Buddhist concepts: how to connect to a sense of inner peace, to identify with our astounding potential, develop compassion and gratitude for the kindness of others, and let go of agitating states of mind like anger and jealousy. Regular attendance at these classes can assist kids with the development of important life skills such as increased empathy, respect for others, self control and concentration.
Buddhist concepts might be deep, but kids understand them. They understand the exponential power of kindness, sometimes even better than grownups. They connect to their imaginations and realize that we are who we decide to be. They learn that our negative emotions are like clouds passing in the clear blue sky of our minds. These lessons in meditation and Buddhist Dharma can plant seeds in these young minds that will flower for years to come, giving them insight into the power we have to create our own experiences.
Regular attendance at these classes can assist kids with the development of important life skills such as increased empathy, respect for others, self control and concentration.
Classes are taught by experienced and qualified teachers.
