Child Centered Spiritual Activities (CCSA)

CCSA Every 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month. Pre-registration is required by Saturday morning.

While the parents are enjoying our regular Sunday service, your children will be learning the ancient practices of yoga geared especially toward them!
CCSA differs from traditional Sunday school or from childcare, the children are lead through yoga postures and other specific yogic exercises, including meditation and affirmation. Each gathering will also consist of a theme based one spiritual quality such as peace, joy, courage etc. We will do activities and read stories pertaining to the theme. CCSA is led by at least one adult member of our congregation who is assisted by one of our teenagers.

We have a NEW bigger space located just behind the center. Families meet at the center by 9:55AM and children will be escorted together to our new space.

To pre-register contact Maitri at 972-994-0524 or familyministry@ananda.org

We are finished serving by 7PM. It is also ok to arrive later than 4 and to leave earlier than 7 if you need to. Families are encouraged to attend as long as children are directly supervised at all times. . Children age seven and older can actually help, children younger will need an adult to supervise them at all times (can bring coloring books or something else to keep the very young ones occupied while others are cooking/serving) For more info and to participate click here to contact Shalini Nair by the Friday before.  Many hands make a miracle!
