Programmes for Children

The Gnostic Centre conducts several programmes for children of all ages, starting from age 4 up to 16-year olds. While self-development is a focus for the adolescents, with children, the emphasis is on:

• Training of the Mind (powers of concentration, observation, reasoning, imagination)
Refinement of Character (qualities of courage, beauty, leadership)
• Training of the Physical (developing strength, stamina, balance, etc. & training the senses)

 

Besides organising the programmes at the Centre, talks and meditation sessions are also conducted in schools.

 

The programmes are in the form of:

• Talks

• Workshops

• Study programmes

• Courses

• Activity Series

Camps

 

Initially the Centre began with offering workshops for children from diverse backgrounds. The focus was primarily on themes such as:

Beauty

Our Secret Friends (the senses)

Be like a Flower

Courage

Concentration: a Key to Mastery

• Whispers of Nature

• Widening the Mind

To See the World in a Grain of Sand

• I Spy (on observation)

Tell me Why (on reasoning)

 

Gradually these developed into full-scale Summer Activity Series on themes such as:
• My Body Miraculous
• My Master Mind
• The Young Explorer
Discover Your Hidden Treasures

 

Based on the response and need of the children, Residential Camps were designed:
• Exploration, Adventure & Self-discovery Camp

• Leadership Camp

 

As word spread about the Centre's work with children, schools invited the Centre to hold special sessions with the students in the school itself. The main demand was for sessions on Meditation.

 

The latest venture has been a 10-month long Course on Leadership (July 2007 to April 2008) - for 10-13 year olds.
