Aloka Children's Programme 2012

We offer the Aloka Programme from April 30 - August 24 this year! The children will spend their mornings and afternoons with fun activities like baking cookies, flower arranging, treasure hunts, playing football, art projects and so on. As much as the weather allows the kids will be playing outside in the beautiful surroundings of Dechen Chöling, exploring nature and watching wild life.

Supported by a caring and nurturing staff, grounded in their own meditation practice, children learn to expand their ability to be kind and compassionate to themselves and others. In a largely outdoor setting, they learn and grow through play, organized activities, and interacting with peers. 

The Aloka programme is designed for children aged about 3 - 12 years and will be offered 5-6 hours each programme day, divided in two sessions. This may not cover the entire schedule of parent's programmes, so they might need to individually organize babysitting for additional hours.

Aloka programme fee: 10 Euros per day (discounted 8 Euros)

Please note: If you bring your own Nanny, we offer a special price of 15 Euros per day for his/her accommodation and food. During large programmes like the "Being Brave"-Retreat and Sacred World Assembly, please ideally bring an own tent for the Nanny. You may also hire people living and working here for babysitting in the evening hours.

In order for us to plan our staffing, please register your child for Aloka at least one month in advance of your arrival here.
