Mahapajapati, the Buddha’s aunt who raised him after his mother’s death, stands as a symbol of wisdom, care, nurturing, and leadership—an embodiment of caregivers, mothers, heroes, and leaders alike.

This program is designed to be a holistic experience, incorporating meditation, contemplation, chanting, writing, and movement in ways that respect each individual’s physical capabilities. We’ll also engage in meaningful dialogues and share insights as a group.
