The true measure of success is a happy, healthy, well-adjusted child who is able to deal effectively with life’s challenges. The SKY Kids program provides children with the tools to do just that. A unique aspect of the program is a specific set of breathing techniques that systematically release emotional and physical stress. Children can use these techniques at any time to bring about a state of calm and relaxation.

Throughout the course children have the opportunity to explore values such as acceptance of others, compassion, respect, trust, and selfless giving. Emphasis is placed on hands on activities like service projects, which allow them to experience concepts they are discussing first hand.

A Course in Miracles
2024-08-07 19:00 - 20:30 UTC | MA
A Course in Miracles: each week we begin our exploration by reading the short introduction which includes these words “the course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim however at removing the blocks to the awareness of Love’s presence which is your natural inheritance.”
Has any other subject been written or sung about more often than love? Isn’t it the organizing principle of all religions? So popular and prominent in our daily discourse, yet so elusive. And don’t we yearn for an alternative to fear, guilt and hatred, suspicion and divisiveness?

Whether a beginner, a student of many years, or an on-again/off again inquirer, you are invited to join us in seeking to learn how to love and enjoy being in love. It’s not a solo performance. Only together, is love manifest.
