Sunday Morning Sitting
2025-05-18 09:00 - 10:00 (America/Denver) | RMI, 2525 W Pikes Peak Ave, Suite A, Colorado Springs, CO, 80904, United States
We invite you to join us Sunday mornings to calm your mind and open your heart through Buddhist Vipassana meditation practice. Vipassana means “clear-seeing” or “insight” and was taught by the Buddha to help cut the root of suffering and lead practitioners towards full awakening. We begin Sunday mornings with a short walking meditation followed by a reading from one of our Dharma Teachers or Practice Leaders. We then sit for roughly 40 minutes in silent meditation.

Dharma Kids Program
2025-05-18 10:30 - 11:30
Dharma Kids introduces children to mindfulness in a fun way that is developmentally appropriate for ages 5-10. Each class has a theme based in Buddhist ethics and wisdom, such as loving kindness, gratitude, moderation, honesty, etc.
We use stories and crafts to explore the theme and lots of games, movement, and breathwork to build focus and encourage self-regulation. We emphasize the mind-body connection so kids understand WHY they often feel big feelings and how that affects their bodies and their behavior.
Rather than sitting for long periods of time, quiet moments are interspersed throughout the class, creating multiple opportunities to notice what is going on inside the body and the mind. Dharma Kids develop strategies to take good care of ALL of their emotions (even the unpleasant ones).
Email sarahpont2001@yahoo.com with any questions or to receive reminder emails and detailed information about each Dharma Kids class.
If planning to attend, please RSVP to Sarah at sarahpont2001@yahoo.com to make sure there are enough materials for all the kids!!!
