Balance and "Mind Jars" - family program

For the children's portion of the Family Program this month, we explored the theme of balance in honor of the Spring Equinox. We shared things that help bring us back to balance when we feel off balance; experimented with our balance in the sitting posture; read a book called "Moody Cow Meditates;" and then made our own "Mind Jars" with glitter, water, and soap to use as tools to help settle down the mind and body.






The adults discussed the "four faces of love"  loving-kindness, compassion, appreciative joy, and equanimity.  Focusing specifically on appreciative joy as related to parenting.
