Children's and Teenagers' Meditation Courses
Ages 8-12 and 13-16Dear Young Friend,
We are happy to inform you about the Anapana meditation courses. Please carefully read the General Information and also the Code of Conduct for your age group.
During the course, you will learn how to practice Anapana meditation along with the five precepts. These courses have been specifically designed for you. You will have the chance to practice Anapana meditation with guided instructions in the meditation hall for periods of about 20 minutes. These sessions are interspersed with story and discussion sessions, break periods and games and art activities throughout the day.
Both you and your parent or guardian are welcome to fill out an application form if you would like to participate.
Looking forward to welcome you at one of our courses!

In the words of some children who completed the course:
"At school if I need to concentrate on what the teacher is doing or saying I can use Anapana. And if I am mad and angry I can use Anapana."
"I learned that I like meditating because it makes me feel relaxed."
"I think meditation is very important in this busy world because it helps us to maintain a stable state of our mind and also it helps us to do our work with right understanding."
