This past Sunday, children and youth gathered to wrap up the October theme of the month: cultivating compassion!
The PreK–Kindergarten group kicked off the class with a fun game of pass the pumpkin, followed by introductions and a thoughtful discussion about how we can include everyone during trick or treating. Then they participated in a Halloween fashion show and a fun Halloween trivia game!
The 1st - 5th grade group started the class with a centering activity, then they had a discussion about including everyone during trick or treating. Afterwards, they broke into groups based on interest. The activity group made paper pumpkin lanterns, while the game group participated in a skeleton relay!
The 6th - 8th grade group was led through a short meditation on compassion for others, had a “costume contest” using toilet paper and markers, and played many collaborative variations of tag.
High School Youth Group met outside for a special wax divination ritual, then shared a big lunch of sub sandwiches and chatted until 2PM.
