Family Day 2024

HELD AT KAMALASHILA TIBETAN BUDDHIST CENTRE
23 November 2024

As Khenpo la remarked in our session on “The Value of Gratitude”, these days of raising young children, despite the difficulties, the confusion, the exhaustion are in fact the best days of our lives. 

Khenpo la was recalling his own mother’s reflections on raising nine children and how she wished she had appreciated more her time as an active parent of young children. All too soon, our children are grown and depart to make their own lives.

Today’s Family Day felt both fun and supportive. We explored the values of kindness, mindfulness and togetherness experientially through meditations, games and craft, before heading down to beautiful Mystery Bay for a swim.

Thank you to the wonderful team at Kamalashila for making this event possible. I think we are all looking forward to the next one!
