Zen Family
For Children Ages 0 - 5 years and their caregivers
Jan 14 - May 5, Every other Sunday, 9 - 10:30 am
Zen Family Practice gathers every other Sunday morning. Caregivers learn alongside their children. We practice Zen through songs, movement, stories, simple meditations, a mindful snack, and free play. We learn how to slow down and live deliberately within a sometimes chaotic world. Families of all religious backgrounds are welcome!
All teachers and volunteers are vaccinated.

Contribution
Clouds in Water relies on a Gift Economics Model of resource transparency, suggested sliding scale tiers and no set fees in order to balance financial sustainability, the Buddhist practice of generosity, justice and equity. Clouds in Water is a community supported temple, relying primarily on the donations and class fees that our sangha offers.
All are welcome. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
Sliding Scale
Level 1: $500 (covers teacher payments, and Clouds admin/staffing, and makes it possible for more people to attend who cannot afford the full amount)
Level 2: $150 (covers teacher payments and Clouds admin/staffing)
Level 3: $75 (covers Clouds admin/staffing)
Your Level: You choose the amount. No one is turned away due to inability to pay.
“We know in our hearts that there is a different way to be, a different way to live. Our generosity with one another is indeed resistance to the greed and fear that oppresses us. We provide for one another out of love for each other and love for ourselves. When we give, we acknowledge that all beings want to be happy.”
