Gravity

Gravity is Earth's way of hugging you.

Taking a break from revisiting older Bhavana Project flags to show you something new.  The flags have returned from my friend Kate Matousek, with her addition to the current set.  And a wonderful contribution that 6th flag is!  Kate centered her ideas around affirmations of science and the planet. As a retired elementary school teacher, Kate is no stranger to creativity.  Over the years, she has participated in making special flag set that were gifted to other friends.  She also was part of a group collaboration creating a flag for the third Bhavana Project set in 2010.

Kate shared her enjoyment, saying it "deepens my understanding of the creative process and the profound AH Has that are to be experienced."  Thank you, Kate!  I love hearing that, for the process is indeed about discovery.

I am adding the 7th flag to the set, preparing to send them on to our next player.  There will be 5 more flags to follow after that (12 flags make up one set).  We would love to have you join in!

A World of Miracles

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

Continuing to share the peace flag series.... During a Santa Fe gathering in 2010, this flag became a group project among close friends- Lori Brody, Elizabeth Dailey, Debby Everett, Victoria Karno, Kate Matousek, and I.  What fun we had collaborating on the design and execution, as well as choosing our milagros.  A deeply satisfying process of connection with each other and art making.  The title in Spanish is "Peace... a world of miracles".

Creative ladies...

A bit of history if you are just joining us.  This set of prayer flags began in 2009 under the theme "Reflections on Peace".  It is the third set created for the Bhavana Project, which is an ongoing community art work intending to share wishes and aspirations with the wider world.  New participants are always welcome!
