    Comments Off on Kids for Peace Day

    Mark International Kids for Peace Day with a celebration of creativity and connection. A half-hour Suzuki violin performance kicks off the morning, followed by a community art-making experience where kids can arrange garden cuttings into a beautiful, large-scale mandala on our garden rooftop. You can also search for peace in the Wonderground, and make peace mobiles in the art studio. It’s a serene, contemplative way to make peace visible and tactile.

    • 10:00-10:30: Violin performance by Suzuki strings students
    • 10:30-12:00: Community art-making project: Giant mandala
    • 10:00-11:30: Peace scavenger hunt
