PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN & YOUNG ADULTS
Center programs for children and young adults were based in a threefold practice of Being, Beholding and Belonging:
Being: bringing ourselves into stillness
Beholding: bringing ourselves into relationship with the natural world
Belonging: feeling a sense of oneness with the source of our own being
Through these practices, a feeling of connection with all living things arises within the children. New eyes and ears awaken. The selfhood of the child comes into being within the creative heart of the universe. Words of peace make themselves heard. Seeds of service to the world are sown.
While our programs for children and young adults came to a close in 2021, we are now offering descriptions that introduce you to the Center’s practices and ways of working. We invite you to adapt these Being, Beholding and Belonging programs and practices to your own situation. To download a handout, click on the links below:
