Children & Youth
WCCM-USA promotes the enrichment of our youth by activating their intuitive capacity for meditation and contemplation.
Adults who practice Christian Meditation are inspired to share our way of prayer with others, including and especially with the children in their lives. The simple, non-conceptual awareness of God’s presence is part of a child’s consciousness from the beginning. It should be no surprise that the practice of meditation comes naturally to children who experience it as both enjoyable and beneficial.
- Many meditating adults are teachers at private and parochial schools.
- Some volunteer at non-profits that serve families.
- Others are in the healthcare field at hospitals and other medical facilities.
- Some therapists and counselors teach meditation to children.
- Christian summer camps introduce meditation to young campers.
- Religious education catechists from pre-school to high school are sharing the Gift.
- Many meditating adults are teachers at private and parochial schools.
These dedicated adults see the value of Christian meditation in their own lives. They learned the practice on a retreat, at a seminar, in a local Christian meditation group. As the generosity of the Spirit expands in their hearts, they are moved to help children discover and experience this same Love that dwells within all of us. Children are very open to Christian meditation. They hunger for the silence and for relationship with God.
