You are invited to join us for the Family Program at Shao Shan Temple this coming Saturday, March 11th from 10:30am to 11:45am. Shao Shan Temple is a Soto Zen Buddhist Temple located in South Woodbury. The Family Program, which generally takes place on second Saturdays of the month (with some exceptions), offers an adult component with meditation and a discussion on mindful parenting/caregiving, as well as a children's component, including nature awareness, art and mindfulness activities and a snack. The whole group then gathers for "Temple time" at the end. All ages are welcome. Children under 5 need to be accompanied by an adult to the children's portion of the program, and older children are welcome to assist as "helpers." A teen component can be added to the program if there is sufficient interest. No prior experience with Buddhism or meditation is necessary to attend.

If interested, please RSVP by email to Rev. Kenzan Seidenberg at: shaoshantemple@gmail.com, or call (802) 456-7091. For more information, please visit the Temple's website at: www.shaoshantemple.org/programs/family-youth. The Family Program only runs in person if there are sufficient RSVPs, so please RSVP by Wednesday, March 8th if you are planning on attending. If we do not have sufficient interest for an in-person program, we sometimes switch to a shorter, online format, so please be sure to contact the Temple prior to showing up. Thank you.
