CHILDREN'S PROGRAMME
During the First Part of The Heart of Meditation Retreat
Dates: from 27 to 31 July
The Rigpé Yeshé Association offers a programme designed to welcome children from 6 - 12 years old whose parents participate in the Meditation retreat this summer. Rigpé Yeshé is inspired by the universal and ethical values of the Buddhist tradition.
The children's programme includes lots of nature-based games and activities, as well as expressive and creative activities. One session per day is specifically devoted to developing mindfulness and awareness and exploring our inner resources to learn how to manage our emotions, develop self-confidence and connect with others.
The morning session is held in the Lerab Ling temple and then activities and sessions are held on the Rigpe Yeshe site which is an area dedicated for the children and equipped with marabout tents and toilettes.
Rigpé Yeshé is an association independent from Lerab Ling, recognised and registered with the Ministry of Youth and Sports and which complies with the regulations for Collective Youth Activities without accommodation. Read more about Rigpé Yeshé. The activities are held by qualified personnel. The children's program is a full-day program offered in parallel to the adult programmes.

- On the "Payment" page, enter your own e-mail address to receive confirmation of your registration and other information.
- Please note! In the "Comment" box on the "Payment" page, indicate which event you (the parent) are registered for, so that your child(ren) are put in the same accommodation as you.
In addition, if one of your children is under 5 years of age and is accompanying you but is not registered for Rigpé Yeshé, please indicate this in the comment box so that they can be added to your accommodation. - If you register two children at Rigpé Yeshé, indicate the discount code RY2KIDS in the "Coupon" box.
