Free Workshop

Gifting: Affirmations to Heal the Earth – Facilitated by Haruko Okano

Description

Free drop-in opportunity for writing affirmations to heal the earth on The International Day for Water. Affirmations derive from your positive and life-affirming visions of a healthy earth in the future. Your affirmations, rolled up and slipped into fresh organic leaf holders, will subsequently be given out during Converse public events from April 11 – June 14 at Dr. Sun Yat Sen Park. This event is faciliated by Haruko Okano.

Gifting is a way of paying forward your positive vision for the well-being of the planet. This workshop is part of a project, Meditation for the Planet, which invites all people worldwide to contribute affirmations for the earth. These affirmations can be written in any language, so long as the English translation accompanies it. Please limit the affirmation to fit on a sheet of paper 4″ x 2.5″ Send these by email or regular post and they will be printed on rice paper and inserted into envelopes made of organic fresh leaves (Please print clearly). These affirmations will be gifted to visitors to Dr. Sun Yat Sen Park during Converse public events. Converse‘s grand opening is on April 11, with a walking tour from 1-3 PM.
