At the Center we provide training, tools and resources to awaken your potential for living a happy, successful and meaningful life. Our programs are for people of all ages and are designed to explore, discuss, reflect, create and deepen our innate and limitless positive potential.
Wisdom Way
After-school and summer enrichment programs for children 5-12 years of age. These programs incorporate mindfulness, reflection, discussion and creative arts for independent and collaborative self-expression.
Teen Program
After-school and summer programs focused on inspiring teens to benefit their communities and themselves through internal, social, and environmental methods. Includes documentary film-making and mural projects.
Qi Gong Classes for Adults
Qi Gong Chinese energy exercise, although gentle and easy to learn, is a powerful practice suitable for all ages and physical conditions. It relaxes and strengthens the body and mind, releases stagnant energy, revitalizes our inner life-force, and touches the deepest sense of our well-being. Classes will include a focus on breathing, stretching, gentle movement and meditation.
Teaching Series & Workshop
Specialized teachers offer classes for adults in mindfulness, compassionate action, psychology, parenting, the environment, and developing a healthy body & mind. Weekend workshops offer methodologies to explore inner-psychology through the arts and sciences.
Film Nights
Documentary film evenings with guest presenters and discussions. Topics include: parenting, culture, psychology, mindfulness, philanthropic causes and environmental issues.
