Contemporary Teachers

Summer Program from The 8 Secrets to Happiness for Kids & Teens.
Each story includes religious arts and crafts for kids. Our activities cover grades K-12 and are great interfaith resources.

Secret #1: Create Freely

Main Message: We have the freedom to crate anything we desire for our lives. But to crate freely means to create without resistance. Nature shows us the blueprint daily on how to create without resistance... without putting any obstacles in the path. If we choose resistance such as fear, worry or doubt, we choose to block our own good. The only thing holding us back from realizing our desires is our resistance to it. 
  • You are meant to have happiness in your life
  • You are meant to achieve your dreams
No matter what happens in our lives, we all have a choice of how we are going to react to it. This week's religious arts and crafts for kids is about releasing resistance. ​

Secret #2 Understand Karma

Main Message: What we put forth in our lives is what we will receive. The law of Karma is present in every religion. It is a universal law of cause and effect. 
  • We reap what we sow
  • You have a choice in every situation
Christian, Hindu, Muslim and Buddhism all have teach their version of Karma in the sacred texts. 

Secret #3: Relish the Journey

Main Message: Being present in each moment of our lives leads to more happiness. When your mind is thinking of the future or worrying about the past, you cannot be fully present to the people, places and situations now. We will use passages from "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle as a we celebrate the moment of Now. Practice the power for enjoying each moment. 
  • This is just one of The Golden Thread of Truth’s religious arts and crafts for kids that focuses on the Now and can help your children relish every moment
  • Be present with the people around you

Secret #4 Give & Receive

Main Message: The secret to attaining what we desire is to give what we seek. As with all laws of the Universe, there is a two way flow that creates a cycle. Everything has a dark and light, birth and death, open and closed, up and down. It is important to note that you cannot keep only one way open and continue to grow and flow. The cycle is to both give and to receive. Receiving is as important for giving, and for many people it is harder than giving. 
  • Money is Love
  • Give with a joyous heart and be grateful for being able to give
Allow The Golden Thread of Truth’s religious arts and crafts for kids to help expand your young one’s mind and leading a life of acceptance and love.
