Young Lotus Youth Group

Our Young Lotus Program offers a nurturing space for youth to discover the power of presence, compassion, and self-awareness. Through guided meditation, creative mindfulness activities, and age-appropriate teachings from the Dharma, participants learn practical tools to calm the mind, reduce stress, and foster emotional balance. These timeless practices help young people navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and kindness, strengthening their mental focus, emotional intelligence, and sense of inner peace.

Beyond personal growth, Young Lotus is a community where like-minded youth come together to form meaningful friendships rooted in understanding and shared values. Together, we explore the Buddha’s teachings in a supportive and inclusive environment that encourages curiosity, respect, and joyful learning. The program is completely free to join, and we’re happy to work with your school or community group to open a local chapter, bringing the benefits of mindfulness and meditation directly to your area.

Our youth are also positively engaged within their communities through various service activities such as food drives, school supply drives, mentorship, removing litter from parks and more.

A statement of faith or other proclamation is not necessary to join.

For more information, to join, or start a chapter near you please contact: info@bluelotusmeditation.us

Request A Speaker

Like all skills, mindfulness and meditation may be taught. But in order to present the benefits of the practice as well as making it personal and relatable there needs to be a trusting relationship between the speaker and audience. As a compassionate and skillful speaker, Vladimir brings warmth to any forum with a relatable and approachable demeanor to all audiences.

We are pleased to highlight some of our mindfulness services:

Corporate retreats, meetings, and trainings
Youth Groups
Primary and secondary schools (administrators/faculty/students)
Civic and Service Groups
Guided meditations (Groups and Individual)

Both in-person and virtual offerings are available.

There is no speaker fee for this opportunity.

Weddings

The union of two people in love is a profoundly meaningful moment, and we are honored to support you on such a sacred occasion. We are pleased to offer legal wedding officiation infused with a gentle Buddhist spirit—bringing mindfulness, compassion, and heartfelt presence to your ceremony.

We understand that finding the right officiant can sometimes be challenging. As practitioners and promoters of loving-kindness, we joyfully welcome all couples who are legally entitled to wed.

Home Blessings

Done in the mornings so as to nurture the auspiciousness of the occasion, we are pleased to bless your home so as to invite health, prosperity, well-being and to drive away evil, negativity, and sorrow.

End Of Life

All that we see and experience is impermanent, including our loved ones. During these emotional times it's important that we celebrate their life with love and fond remembrance. We warmly proved funerary and memorial services to all who ask.

Incarcerated Outreach

The Dharma is a wonderful vehicle to foster awareness to the beauty of life, no matter where you may physically be. Following the Three Jewels, The Five Precepts, and The Four Noble Truths, one’s life may shift from uncertainty and despair to joyful awareness. If you or a loved one is currently incarcerated and would like Dharma instruction we would be more than pleased to meet.

Interfaith Outreach

We are all brothers and sisters and share a common existence regardless of religion, faith, or philosophy. In the spirit of community, lovingkindness, and understanding, all faiths are welcome to share space with us. You are warmly invited to reach out to us for more details.

“The jewel of community, the Sangha, is to be held equal to the Buddha and the Dharma. Indeed, the whole of the holy life is fulfilled through spiritual friendship.”
