The words we think and say about ourselves are powerful. Positive words build us up and make all things possible
Spiritual Playdate is an inclusive, interfaith web-based program that supports fun, engaging, social, and emotional learning while building the bridges of acceptance through group “Playdates” in the home or elsewhere. Kids and their parents, teachers, or mentors discover their beliefs through a diverse framework of faith-based and spiritual resources that we provide, which cover a variety of topics including World Religion, The Golden Rule, Forgiveness, Gratitude, Love, Sacred Spaces, Spiritual Teachers, and more. In addition, we offer resources for interfaith and community outreach
Spiritual Playdate can also be used as a curriculum for youth organizations.
