Take some time to remember what it means to quiet down through short meditations, story and discussion, mindful crafts and activities, and make your own mini-pizza! We will be making origami to show support for immigrant parents and children imprisoned on the US Border. These will be sent to Rev. Duncan Williams, who organizes and attends protests, taking origami peace cranes with him to show support and give hope. Please join us for a day of mindfulness for the whole family. RSVP or questions: 828-645\2085 or teijo(at)greattreetemple.org.

Collective Drawing
Are you on the autism spectrum or caring for someone on the spectrum? Come draw at Arms Around ASD. We’re making a collective drawing. It’s lots of fun and you don’t have to know how to draw. Have you ever played the Musical Chairs game? Well, there’s something of that to this. To the stop and go of the music, we will draw, shifting positions on the drawing and helping each other out. The difference in the activities is that in this one, everyone stays and no one is ever left out. Martha will lead this activity and adjust it in real time according to the group’s needs and flow so there’s nothing to worry about. The image is of the most recent drawing created with the Friends Group at Arms Around ASD. We have opened this up to others. If you’re interested, sign up through the link below or by contacting Jenn at (734) 478-0761.
