Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
In this special retreat, we will look at Buddhist wisdom and meditations for changing our relationship with technology and overcoming distractions using a step-by-step approach to breaking compulsive habits — especially with our phone use.
As a result, we will find a natural, inner happiness that is within each of us. We gain the ability to use the technology necessary for living our life, but without feeling controlled by it. Our life will take on great meaning and purpose, and we will understand what it truly means to have this precious, human life.
Our Thanksgiving weekend retreat with Buddhist Monk Gen Samten will start with our Thanksgiving Feast — the holiday version of our popular Food for Thought event.
Everyone is welcome and no experience is necessary.
