On the second and fourth Sundays of each month, from 9:00 to 11:00 am, we offer the Sunday Morning Children’s Program. This program normally starts in September and runs through the second Sunday in June. In July and August we meet once a month on the fourth Sunday. We require that at least one parent or guardian be present at KCC when their child attends.

At the beginning of each session, brief instruction to the practice of Shamatha will be given. After a one-hour session and a 10-minute break, there will be a teaching or question-and-answer period with participants.

All are welcome to attend this session to learn more about KCC and the programs offered here. This event has moved from Thursday evening to the Second Sunday of each month following the morning meditation and discussion.

ZOOM only. At the beginning of each session, brief instruction to the practice of Shamatha will be given.  After a one-hour session and a 10-minute break, there will be a teaching or question-and-answer period with participants.
