The Leidecker Center for Asian Studies is coordinating the following events, to which all are welcome:
On Thursday, Sept 16 at 3:30 pm, is a participatory community clearing, preparation, and raking of Toshiko Tanaka’s pattern in the zen garden. UMW’s Japanese language teacher Rina Okada will say a few words about the Japanese concept of “heiwa” (peace). (If we are rained out, this will be rescheduled to Monday, Sept. 20.)
On Tuesday, September 21, the UN International Day of Peace, Bob Chilton and Todd Stewart of Gardens Unlimited will give a bonsai demonstration and exhibit trees from their collection. This will take place in the HCC digital auditorium from 12pm – 2pm. You are welcome to come and go, stay for the whole session, or visit for just a few minutes as your schedule allows.
On Tuesday, September 21 at 4:00pm, we will hold an outdoor meditation session at the zen garden.
