Getting to Know Vahiguru

This workshop is specifically designed for young children, ages 6-10. Children will walk through a Sabad by Bhagat Kabir Ji using illustrative material and learn about qualities of the Divine. The workshop will prompt lots of questions and will help children pick up new vocabulary, develop thinking skills, and leave them with a desire to learn more through questioning & self-discovery.
