Youth Programs

Online Youth and Family Programs


Picture
In response to MZMC's growing family community, we are excited to begin opening spaces and offering programming for members with children. MZMC's mission for the Youth Program is to provide services to children whose caregiver(s) want to attend dharma talks so that both children and their caregiver(s) can learn to experience a mind unburdened by thought. Our visions 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 Offering Spring 2021 Youth Program: January 10 – May 23
We are excited to continue MZMC’s COVID-friendly Youth Program via Zoom beginning January 10, 2021.
Our goal is to provide young children in our community with opportunities to experience and explore Zen forms and traditions that complement their natural ability to be in the moment in attentive and joyful ways. 

During our fall program, we were pleased to see how easy and natural it seemed for the kids to let go of their worries and concerns. Through stories, sharing, and activities we hope again to help everyone who comes nurture their natural state of wonder, joy, and curiosity.


Beginning January 10th, MZMC will offer weekly online opportunities to welcome children into our community.
