Tending to the Earth with Love and Care: Dharma-Inspired Nature Projects

Parents, Caregivers, and Children ages 3 – 10

By encouraging our children to tend to the earth with love and care, we plant the seeds for climate justice!

Join us in March, as winter ends and the world comes alive again! During this time of rebirth and renewal, we will enjoy a spring-inspired project and ritual to share with our families. Small hands and hearts will delight in discovering the new growth of the season through a fun, kid-friendly weaving project.

There are many ways we can honor this time of year with wisdom and wonder. Our Engaged Family Practice program provides a framework for creativity and coming together that celebrates the Dharma while nourishing bodhicitta—the mind that strives for awakening for all beings—in our family and community systems.

Spring Weaving

Materials needed:

  • Items collected from nature, such as leaves, flowers, pinecones
  • 4 sturdy branches, approximately 12 inches long (to create a frame)
  • 10 - 12 stems, sticks, or other plant material, approximately 10 - 15 inches long
  • Garden twine or ribbon
  • Tape and/or glue (optional)
  • Journal + pen or pencil (please plan to bring this journal to each family program that you attend)

Content will be adult-focused and kid-friendly, with children invited (but not required) to join. Junsen will help parents and caregivers learn how to share this project with children not in attendance. A digital tutorial will be emailed after the program. Journal prompts will be provided during the program.
