Our vision for families with children is to experience MZMC as a welcoming community, offering programming suited to and matching the needs of people of all ages. We seek to help kids discover and treasure what it's like to experience life beyond the imitations of their worries and concerns. MZMC currently offers youth programs intended for children (age 6 to 12). Programs will provide a variety of hands-on activities intended to explore the rich tradition of Soto Zen practice in a fun, engaging setting.
MZMC Children’s Summer 2024 Program Sundays, June 16, July 14, and August 25 Third Floor Classroom, 10-11 am Participation is entirely donation-based. Pre-registration is required. Please contact the office: [email protected]
This summer's Children Program offers the opportunity to learn about the life of the Buddha, the Bodhisattva Way, and meditation and mindfulness practices during sessions led by MZMC teachers and experienced practitioners. Lessons will incorporate arts and games alongside discussions of ways Buddhist practices relate to daily life and opportunities to apply mindfulness and meditation at home, at school and at play.
