For children and their parents (±2-13 years), there is the Family Zen Retreat, in which parents and children meditate together. Some parts are especially for the children while others are specifically for the grown ups. The exploration of the Buddhist way of life is the main aim of the retreat.

Teenagers are given the opportunity to practise together in the Teenage Retreat. These retreats are intentionally close to the traditional Zen retreats. We meditate together, recite together, work on small tasks or make homework. Apart from that, there is opportunity for private consultation with the teacher.

For details, see the agenda of Noorder Poort.

Sangha members can also spend a few days at Noorder Poort with their children apart from these programs. Please contact us if you are interested.
