Warmth and Lovingkindness - children's program

 For February's Children's Program, in honor of Valentine's Day and the frigid temperatures, we celebrated warmth and love. 💗

We first introduced ourselves and shared something cool that we've experienced about winter, including the cold, the snow, animal tracks, and winter play. 

We then read and acted out a book titled Over and Under the Snow, by the Vermont author Kate Messner and illustrated by Christopher Silas Neal. In the book a child and their father go skiing through woods and fields, experiencing the animals and animal signs above the snow, while also remembering all of the animals tunneling and slumbering beneath the snow. 

We then practiced sending warmth, well-being, and loving-kindness to ourselves, our families, and all beings near and far, seen and unseen. We closed with a group OM.
