Youth and Family Programs

The Dharma Garden Council oversees all programs that serve youth and families of the sangha. These include Dharma School, Dharma Camp, and all other Youth and Family Programs. The primary focus of these programs is to support children and families: their spiritual development, well-being and growth; and to encourage and support young people’s inherent Buddha nature through community, compassion, sharing and joy. The council cultivates these programs to support a vibrant and thriving broader Dharma Rain Sangha by offering to people of all ages a way into dharma and practice. Dharma Garden seeks to express and cultivate the values of mindfulness, compassion, loving-kindness and connection.
