Summer Family Campout
Community Impact LAB hosted another fun Family Campout. We're excited for an unplugged weekend filled exploration, campfires and good company. We want to make this opportunity as accessible as possible for all of our members, so we're only charging fees to help us cover the cost of supplies, food, and reservations.

Mamahood Conversation Group
Calling all mamas who could use some support! This is where mamas can come together, talk about a variety of challenges and triumphs in parenthood, and get support from other mamas in their community.
If you have ideas about specific topics you would want to see the group cover, please share! This facilitated group will be participant-directed, meaning that you will all get to support one another and tell us what you want to talk about and what kinds of things you would get the most out of. |
Mindful Family Sangha & Playdate
Why Mindfulness?
Scientific research shows that mindfulness makes people happier, healthier, and less stressed. Mindfulness based meditation uses the breath to get back to the present moment. Of course, when you are meditating, thoughts come up, and you acknowledge them and let them go. And then you return to your breath. Mindfulness meditation is simple and powerful, especially when practiced in a group, or sangha, together. How It Works When we first get together we will do some simple mindfulness exercises (stretches) with the kids. Then, one group will practice meditation in a detached guest house while another group supervises the kiddos. After both groups have had their meditation session we can all get together to enjoy kid-friendly snacks and relax. We will do a guided meditation for beginners, and talk about our personal experience with the meditation and any issues in our lives we feel like sharing. This is an opportunity to feel listened to, and to deeply listen with compassion. Our Generous Host! We're so excited for Michelle Thakur, who has practiced mindfulness meditation for over 10 years (though not as much as she would like since having 2 kids!), to host and guide the meditation sessions. |
