Supporting Families in our Sanghas
Parents are the primary spiritual guide for their children everyday. We can help them realize the potential of life’s activity in nurturing loving and caring relationships in their home. Supporting Families in our Sanghas Workshop will offer a mixture of how to help Zen practitioners integrate the dharma with their parenting, and how to help sanghas be more receptive and nourishing for families. This workshop will include a general presentation and discussion, followed by facilitated breakout groups for particular interests. During this workshop, we will address:
