Mindful Lego BuildersNov 16, 2025

Sunday “show and tell”.

Dharma Time kids are encouraged to bring something to the temple that they’ve created or made of lego. We’ll set up the lego builds in the hondo to share/display and talk about the creations with the Sangha.

A creative way to show mindfulness plus, any adults (or bigger kids) are also invited to share and bring-in their lego builds too!

Everyone is invited to share in this lego mindfulness experience together!
