Daylong to be held on the land! Open to: Families with children between the ages of 4-12

Description:
Family Days are a wonderful opportunity to spend time connecting with your children, yourself, and a community of supportive peers. Come play, share, learn, and open your heart!

Family Practice Period:
We start our morning with a program for everyone, weaving the theme of the day into songs, skits, and family activities. We have plenty for your children, with mindfulness activities geared toward youth ages 4-12.

Youth Program:
During the second half of the day, youth ages 4-12 will attend age-appropriate groups with our experienced Spirit Rock mindfulness leaders. They will play, make art, sing songs, and practice mindfulness together.

Parents’ Program:
Parents of children ages 4-12 will have an opportunity to meditate, hear a talk related to parenting as practice, and connect with each other through group discussions.

Please note: this program is designed specifically for families with children ages 4-12. We cannot accommodate children younger than 4 or older than 12 – please make alternate arrangements for their care. This program is also not appropriate for parents attending without a child.

Pre-registration is required so we can plan ahead, especially for the kids’ activities. This is a popular event that usually sells out, so register early!

Our sliding scale options for this program include financial support for the teacher(s). Please consider paying at the highest rate that you can afford.

Benefactor-Family – $295
