Family Day at Red Clay

Family Day at Red Clay

November 30th, 2025

Red Clay Sangha is hosting a family-friendly meditation session where parents can practice mindfulness while kids are welcomed and cared for.

Whether you're experienced with meditation or just curious about it, this is a relaxed space to explore mindfulness practice. We'll sit together for about 30-45 minutes, with a brief introduction to meditation techniques for anyone new to the practice. We'll also have a precepts renewal ceremony—a meaningful ritual of recommitting to living with intention and compassion.

For the kids: We'll have volunteers setting up activities in a nearby space—books, toys, crafts, and play areas for different ages. Parents are always welcome to step out if their little one needs them.

For non-practicing parents and family members: please feel free to join at any point in the morning. Precepts renewal will be around 10:40, after which there will be a family-friendly talk and a group discussion, and potluck lunch and social will follow around 11:30.

After the meditation, we'll share a potluck meal together. Bring a dish if you can (but not required)! It's a nice way to connect and let the kids run around while we eat.

No need to arrange a babysitter, and no pressure to have perfectly quiet children. We get it—family life is beautifully chaotic, and we're creating a space where both mindfulness and kids can coexist.

Note: for regulars: this will be integrated into our normal Sunday morning practice, full moon precepts ceremony, and potluck, so please come along and participate as usual. Some of the family-oriented activities will impact the meditation space, and this is all good practice!
