Family Friendly Sit

About this event

This monthly group welcomes families of all ages to join. Keri Pederson and rotating facilitators will lead a guided meditation followed by open discussion time for parents, while a second person supports kid play in a separate room. Afterward, parents and kids will reunite for tea, snacks and connection.

We will rely on a cooperative model to make the “quiet” meditation possible: depending on the number, age and needs of children joining, some parents may need to join the kid room while others practice in the meditation hall. Older kids who can sit or read silently can also stay with their parents during the meditation and discussion. Some coming and going between rooms is expected, and the noisy warmth of family life is most welcome for this group!
