During Teachings

In the Temple
Children may attend the empowerment and teachings if they can remain still and very quiet so as not to distract others. Please do not bring babies or young children into the meditations. Children who disrupt others will not be allowed to remain in the Temple.

A program of children’s activities will be available outside the teaching session times. When you register on arrival, please feel free to visit the children’s area for more details of the children’s program.
