Spiritual Play helps children ages 3 to 9 explore their own spirituality. We’re inspired by the wonder, awe, and questions that children express and seek to nurture these spiritual instincts. If your child delights in clouds, rainbows, bugs, pets, new babies, and wise elders, this program is for you! We’re excited to have two age groups this year—some activities will bring everyone together, while others will be divided by age. All are welcome to explore and play!
Spirituality in Young Children
“Spirituality is an inner sense of relationship to a higher power that is loving and guiding. The word we give to this higher power might be God, nature, spirit, the universe, the creator or other words that represent a divine presence.”
Lisa Miller, PhD
The Awakened Brain
“Spirituality is God’s ways of being with children and children’s ways of being with God.”
Rebecca Nye
