Summer Practice Days - August 4-6



A new program sprouted at Shao Shan Temple this past week!  The Summer Practice Days (quickly nicknamed "Zen Summer Camp") was a fun and inspirational time of practice for participants of all ages.

Most of our programs are either oriented towards families or towards adults.  This several day period, August 4-6, of Temple Practice allowed all of the community to come together.  The program included a combination of activities for adults and children separately, and activities for the whole Temple Community together. 

Adults had time for meditation, discussion on bringing practice into daily life, work practice and activities together with the children.

The children's activities were varied including a brief time each day inside the Temple, art projects, mindfulness games outside in nature and working in the garden.

The program closed with a potluck lunch.
