Young People's Lecture and Program

The first Saturday of every month:
Children are invited to attend the 10 am lecture with their parents. The first 10 minutes of the talk are directed toward the young people. Afterwards, they leave for their own program, which often includes storytelling, crafts, mindfulness practice, brief meditation, and snacks. All ages are welcome.

For more information, call the City Center front office at 415.863.3136.

Coming-of-Age Program for 7th and 8th grade girls and boys

The 2009-2010 program is in progress. For inquiries regarding the 2010-2011 program, contact Fu Schroeder (see below for contact information).

To Register:
Please contact Fu Schroeder at 415.389.0308 or see her following the Sunday lecture at Green Gulch Farm

The Coming of Age Program inspires, guides, and empowers our children for life-long spiritual inquiry and engagement. It provides a supportive environment of peer and mentor relationships in which young people, in 7th and 8th grade, can meet and discuss their views and perceptions of the world around them. A boys' group and a girls' group meet separately every month for nine months on Sunday mornings from 9:30 am until noon. The meetings culminate in a Coming of Age ceremony in the Zendo in May in which participants are honored and witnessed by their friends and family.

We hope you will join us! Both new and returning students are welcome.
