Celebrating Good Wishes Workshop: Amulet Books with Sushmita
Saturday, February 20 from 1-3pm — Celebrate your wishes and promises for this new year and store them in your own handmade amulet book! Come listen to the story of the Buddhist prayer wheel from Ladakh, a mountainous region in India, which inspired Sushmita Mazumdar’s amulet book. Then learn to make your own amulet book and fill it with promises and wishes for yourself. You can wear it, hide it away under your pillow, or display it in a frame for all to read.
