Family Program

Shao Shan Temple is excited to offer a program specifically for families. Parents are invited to join the meditation schedule and discussion time; separate mindfulness and nature activities are provided for the children and teens. Please let us know if you are interested in participating in this program; registration is required. Please note that if we do not have sufficient RSVPs by the Thursday afternoon prior to the program, it may be cancelled. Be sure to phone if you have not RSVPed by Thursday to make certain that the program is still happening.
