The Art of Living meets a unique need on the East Lancaster corridor by focusing primarily on providing support and enrichment to children and youth experiencing homelessness, primarily age 7-17. We are committed to working as a partner with the organizations providing shelter to families by offering a safe space and enriching activities for children and teenagers while they’re here. By doing so, the entire family benefits. Parents can focus on their own healing and program goals more effectively when they know their children are somewhere safe. 

Our Saturday enrichment programs are at the heart of our mission. Homelessness results in trauma and stress, particularly for children and teens. The goal of our Saturday programs is to alleviate some of that stress and give kids the opportunity to just be kids. To get outside. To see things beyond what they see at school or at the shelter. To dream big. Saturday programs vary, depending on the weather and the time of year, but may include creating art, taking a trip to the zoo, jumping at a trampoline park, catching a movie, or our favorite – spending the day riding bikes on the beautiful Trinity Trails. In fact, we have a bicycle repair shop right here on the property to make sure that our fleet of bicycles stays in good working order.

We also bring the kids back to the studio every other Wednesday for a yoga class with our wonderful yoga instructor Betty. This gives the kids a chance to learn different ways to exercise their bodies, while also having fun in the process.
