Buddhism

In the book Zen Shorts, by Jon J. Muth, “A Heavy Load” teaches the importance of letting go.
Through a letting go ritual, participants will use water soluble paper to privately express
concerns, past hurts, or anger. They will then submerge the paper in water – symbolizing
release and renewal. This will be followed by mindful sand patterning or painting.

Each recipe contains a section called Learn About the World that will provide context for the recipe’s traditional culture. Sharing stories, holidays, and traditions from different faiths will help students begin a journey of understanding, tolerance, and celebration for the diversity of human expressions of faith.
