Children 12 and under get free admittance, but must purchase a “Young LoveBird” meal pass if eating community meals. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. We have a childrens area with games and activities, and some scheduled singing and crafts. There is no drop-off child care, however, children may be dropped off during song circle times as long as they are well-behaved, follow direction well and can use the toilet without assistance. It is encouraged for parents to volunteer their Karma Yoga hours at the Kids area. Children are welcome and invited to attend song circles, as long as they are not being disruptive and causing distractions. Song circles can be a very sensitive and delicate experience, so minimizing disruption and distraction in order to honor and respect those holding space and teaching songs, as well as fostering conducive environments for participants to be able to feel the fullness of what song circles can bring up, is very important. It is understandable when children sometimes speak out, make random sounds or move around a bit, but the guardians are responsible for removing children from a circle if their activity is disruptive and causing too much of a distraction. They may return if/when the children are able to be more present with the circle.
