Youth Program Video

Join us for our youth program every Sunday during service.  

Over the course of a year, we spend 7 weeks learning about the powers of each chakra.  Join us!
The schedule of topics are:

CROWN CHAKRA
The crown chakra, Sahasrara, the seventh chakra, is located at the top of the head. It gives us access to higher states of consciousness beyond our personal preoccupations. The Crown chakra gets us in touch with the universal. 

May 29- Universal consciousness
June 5- Divine Guidance
June 12- Integration
June 19- Perfection
June 26- Purpose
July 3- Enlightenment
July 10- Beauty

AURAL/SPIRIT CHAKRA
The ninth chakra, spirit chakra, is located above the physical body and is connected to profound levels of connection with the divine. It is called also "the seat of the soul" and plays an important role in shaping our destiny. It is associated with communicating with the spiritual realm and its color is turquoise. This chakra allows you to connect to your true purpose, and the full extent of your soul’s gifts and abilities. 

July 17- Spiritual awareness
July 24-Divine connection
July 31- Interconnectedness with all things
August 4- The higher Self
August 7- Life purpose
August 14- All knowledge
August 21- Divine love

THE TEACHERS AT CSA
CSA youth instructors, Karen Shihadeh, Janie Lundy, Lisa Petty, and Erica Wade use storytelling, prayer, singing, share, movement, art and play to integrate each lesson. If you are joining us for the first time, please register your child and sign our waiver at drop-off. 

Our Covid-safe guidelines have changed.  We will serve a light, allergy-free, natural snack of fruit and seeds again in class.  The kids program lasts an hour and a half, so please ensure your child has eaten breakfast  Additionally, please note our new safety procedures:
  • Until further notice, children are advised to bring their own masks. Masks will be provided and sanitary conditions will be maintained.
  • The snack portion of this class will be held outdoors, so wear appropriate warm clothing, layers, hat and durable shoes for outdoor play on grass and rough surfaces.
  • Because instructors cannot assist children physically, children 4 and under need to be accompanied by an adult.
  • Sanitary bathrooms are available.
  • Please meet to pick up your children after service in the CSA garden.

See you there!

"Become As A Little Child" 

The mission of our Youth Program is to nourish their developing spiritual awareness and understanding through sharing in circle, singing, storytelling, reading, affirmative prayer, yoga, free play and art.  Young people of all ages are welcome, and parents are invited to join. (We ask parents to accompany children who are not potty-schooled.) ​

Children's Program Teachers

She is also trained in Massage Therapy, Facilitating Women’s Circles for Embodiment and Empowerment, Effective Communication Skills, and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. She is passionate about Waldorf education, meditation, honoring the wisdom of the body, yoga, animals, and building loving and accepting communities.  Janie is committed to honoring the beautiful and sacred unfolding of Life as it is experienced in each human being, trusting that this is a natural and perfect process. She strives to support the individual in finding love and trust within, in the practice of trusting one’s own inner light. 
Karen Shihadeh, Minister Intern, RScP.

She has taught in the Youth Program at the Center for Spiritual Awakening since 2014. Her education in Biology and Anthropology, training in Science of Mind, and experience as a mother of two blend to create a warm, welcoming, enriching experience for children at CSA. Karen’s passion for art, nature, spirituality and storytelling are infectious. Karen’s intention as a teacher is for each child to feel heard, to feel safe, to feel and recognize their own unique Spirit Self and to realize how important his/her gift is to the Universe.

Lisa Petty

Lisa began teaching at CSA in 2021.  Although new to our program, she has been a long time children's teacher in both public and private settings.  She is also a graduate of Practical Spirituality 100 and 200 levels, the Religious Science education program at CSA.  Lisa brings light, joy and heart to our youth program.
These amazing women are dedicated mothers to their own children, and their dedication extends to the loving and teaching of Science of Mind Principles to all youth. Please don't hesitate to talk to Lisa, Janie or Karen. If you have a warm heart or soft lap, please join them on Sunday mornings!
