Family Series: Having Joy in the Moment as Parents and Caregivers

February 2, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

A half day for parents, grandparents and caregivers

with Shahara Godfrey and Baruch Golden

“Joy awakens our love for life, and it’s contagious,” James Baraz Awakening joy in ourselves is a way to care for others. By staying in touch with our own appreciation for life, we remind those around us of their capacity to do the same. Having joy in the moment as parents and caregivers can be both easy and challenging. Through the lens of the dharma, we will have opportunities to explore practices that encourage feelings of happiness and joy. The half daylong involves having fun and includes interactive exercises with silent and guided meditations.
