Family - Teen - Youth Programs

Family Program

A Family (or Children's) Program is usually offered once a month and may be either online or in-person.

In general, when it is online it is a shorter program (20-30minutes) and oriented for younger children.

Please contact us if you are interested in this 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 (it is not required to attend an "Introduction" program first for the Family Program). 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.

Animal Friend Memorial Garden

There is a small pet memorial garden on Shao Shan land for the burial of our animal companions' ashes. Often children's first experience of death is the passing of a pet and taking care with that experience can be formative. It was children connected of the Shao Shan Temple family program who created this site and are children are frequently part of maintaining it.

A visit here is included as part of the "Pet Blessing Ceremony" in the summer.
