On Saturday, July 10, the Birch Bay Meditation Center, where mom goes to meditate when she can, held their
second annual "Nature Art Fest" for kids and the theme was "Colour Me Peaceful." This is a free, all day, outdoor camp experience
offered for low-income & special needs children in the community ages 5 - 12, run completely through volunteers and donations. Over 50 kids attended this year!
Beneath each of their "mandala stones" contains a word, a wish, for the world.
We thank all who participated because, clearly, peace is Colourful!
The Birch Bay Meditation Center is a beautiful, quiet retreat nestled amidst deep woods, open fields, an organic garden,
bee-hives, ponds, spectacular views of the San Juan Islands and is dedicated to serving the community through
the Science of Spirituality
as taught by Sant Rajinder Singh.
Mom made it out of bed yesterday and spent the whole day there, enjoying the company of other meditating friends
spending the afternoon together in the orchard with healthy, organic, home-made popsicles. Hip, hip, hooray
for days of wellness and peace enjoyed amongst like-minded, spiritual friends!
Yahoo to Mom!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you were able to go to the Birch Bay Meditation Center. It sounds like a lovely way to spend the afternoon. The mandala stones are beautiful. Did Mom become a kid and paint one of them too? She is talented enough to do a fantastic one. I hope that her day was fantastic!
Love,

Auntie Ann, we like when you write to us!
ReplyDeleteMethinks no one reads our blog and then you write and we jump for joy! No, mom was sick
in bed, missing the entire event, which she
looks forward to all year. But her day was
fantastic and so was ours and we hope so
was yours!
