Prayer Flag Gathering
January 30, 2 to 5 p.m. 2010
With Joell Jones & Jeanne Jabbour
Based on the traditional Tibetan Prayer Flag this workshop focuses on making your own version of a prayer flag to adorn your outdoor or indoor living space.
This is a reuse workshop. Bring a favorite article of old clothing, blanket, etc. that you would like to reuse to create your own personal prayer flag.
Prayer flags are inscribed with auspicious symbols, invocations, prayers, and mantras. For centuries Tibetan Buddhists have planted these flags outside their homes and places of spiritual practice for the wind to carry their beneficent vibrations across the countryside.> Prayer flags are said to bring happiness, long life and prosperity to the flag planter and those in the vicinity.
Bring old fabric (clothes, tablecloths, sheets) to cut up -- nostalgic fibers to get transformed into prayer flags. Workshop limited to 6 people. Sliding scale donation from $5-$20.
