Mindfulness, Kids, and Community

A Public Talk and Mindful Games Workshop with Susan Kaiser Greenland

PUBLIC TALK: Everyday Freedom
Friday, February 21
Tergar Meditation Center
Madison, WI

In this evening talk with Susan Kaiser Greenland we explore the universal qualities that bring out the best in us, like wisdom, compassion, patience, kindness, and awareness; qualities that lead to focused attention, the ability to see what’s happening within and around us clearly, and a strong capacity to regulate emotion. These are the qualities both children and adults call upon when they’re under pressure or in a sticky situation, qualities that offer a glimpse of everyday freedom. This public talk is suitable for both new and experienced meditators.The format will include demonstrations of mindful games, discussion and opportunities for questions. You will leave with a few simple activities to bring brief moments of awareness into your home, work, and community, together with a set of simple mindful games to share with the children in your life.
