Painting Lotus Flowers @ Artful Dreamers
Tickets
Jan 30 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm

LOTUS FLOWER on ZOOM

MUST REGISTER AT: https://www.artfuldreamers.com/offerings

Why Paint the Lotus Flower?

The lotus flower only grows in the murkiest of mud and yet the blooms are incredibly beautiful and water easily rolls off each petal.

We paint the lotus flower when we desire the energy of BLOOMING despite the challenges, or the mud, we may be facing.

Let’s rise out of 2020’s muck into the blooming of 2021.

Like the lotus we can rise through and above the mud to blossom in the sunshine.

We will paint a Lotus bringing in own color choice and style to the painting.

The Lotus is a powerful sacred symbol showing you that even out of the darkest muck, a Lotus can bloom.

‘No Mud, No Lotus’ – Thich Nhat Hanh

Through life’s challenges, we are being prepared to bloom.

Eternal Light: A Composition for Tacoma @ Symphony Tacoma Youtube Page
Tickets
Feb 6 @ 7:30 pm

Eternal Light is a “musical collage” of original works by local students inspired by Lux Aeterna, a movement in Mozart’s Requiem that expresses words of comfort and hope. It will premiere on Symphony Tacoma’s YouTube channel at 7:30 pm on Saturday, February 6, 2021. Preceding the premiere will be a Facebook Live conversation with the creative team facilitated by Symphony Tacoma Music Director Sarah Ioannides at 6:30 pm.

Over the summer, thirteen local students ranging in age from 10 to 17 accepted Symphony Tacoma’s invitation to create original music, lyrics, drawings and poetry that reflected their interpretation of “eternal light.” Maestra Sarah Ioannides, the project’s producer, has taken these submissions and weaved them into a new audio and visual composition to be performed and recorded by the youth who submitted as well as participants from Tacoma Youth Chorus, University Place Presbyterian Church’s Alleluia Singers (children’s choir) and Symphony Tacoma musicians.

“We hope this special project will bring joy to the hearts of many during these difficult times,” says Ioannides.
