On Sunday, December 8th, 2024, we hosted a Day of Mindfulness for a small group of children and their parents at the Freedom Hut. These children have been practicing with us since our program was established.
The day began with a gentle and cozy atmosphere following a light rain. Short warm-up games energized the group before transitioning into more focused practices. The children were guided through sitting meditation and a meaningful Touching the Earth. Thay Tri Thanh led an insightful session on a “The Gratitude and Appreciation for the Sacrifice of Your Parents for You“, while the damp outdoor conditions prompted us to move our activities, including walking meditation, indoors. After sharing a mindful lunch together, the children enjoyed a session of deep relaxation.
The day continued with a creative art session, where the children were guided in making Christmas decorations. Their artistic activity provided a wonderful opportunity for self-expression and mindful creativity.
Throughout the day, the parents participated in a meaningful program of their own. They listened to a talk by Thay Tri Thanh and took part in several sharing sessions, creating a holistic experience for the entire group.
