Becoming a parent is exhilarating  – and also one of life’s greatest challenges. What would it be like to parent from a place of peace, confidence, and wisdom?

With Buddha’s teachings, we can train our minds in greater patience, compassion, and love. As a parent, we will need all of these! By aligning our intentions and our actions we develop vital skills for navigating our new role. We can drop unhelpful expectations and experience deep joy in the present moment.

This class is a one hour class designed for parents of children of all ages. It includes a 20 minute meditation, a Dharma talk, Q & A,  and turn and talk.

Please note, although we would like to invite children of all ages, at this time, only infants in arms are welcome.

We do have plans in the near future to revamp our children’s class, which includes children between the ages of 4-9. Please stay tuned!

Also, be advised if you are bringing a stroller, our center has stairs to enter.
