The next class that is available is the ADULT/ Prayer FLAG class being taught by Nancy Briney.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 18TH from 6-9PM
Bring some items from your personal crafting stash, or use the things we have collected to make a personalized prayer flag for your garden or back porch. Do you have someone fighting cancer, leaving for college, deployed in the armed forces or someone effected by the wildfires - that needs some extra love and prayers sent their way. This is a good way to put your time and thought into a project with purpose. We will have basic fabrics, lace etc. And can screen print, stamp, paint and sew (will have a few sewing machines to share) Come and enjoy a night at the Artery with friends.
This definition is taken from the http://www.lovehopestrength.org website. I thought it was the best way to describe what the meaning of Prayer Flags are.
"Traditionally, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. The flags do not carry prayers to ‘gods,’ a common misconception, rather the Tibetans believe the prayers and mantras will be blown by the wind to spread the good will and compassion into all pervading space. Therefore, prayer flags are thought to bring benefit to all. By hanging flags in high places the “Wind Horse” will carry the blessings depicted on the flags to all beings. As wind passes over the surface of the flags, which are sensitive to the slightest movement of the wind, the air is purified and sanctified by the Mantras."
