Who: All women in Lexington, especially the ones that are hurting from lost child, abortion, fertility issues, etc
What: Motherhood Mandala. This is a secular community art piece that is temporary. It is made out of cut flowers, bamboo
When: Sunday June 23rd noon-4pm
Where: Woodland park in between pool and skate park.
How: Women will curiously approach mandala space, read sign, and decide to place a flower on the outline. Then I or someone else will start convo, or suggest they write a prayer or blessing on a 'flag' and hang it from the bamboo scaffolding surrounding the mandala. They will make a connection, and might find someone else who is struggling with the same issue. Maybe someone will offer prayer to them, or begin a new friendship.
Important reminders: I have a city permit to do this, and it comes with stipulations. I cannot approach women and solicit them to come over. I cannot be advertising my business. I cannot be preaching etc. THIS IS A 'SECULAR' event!!! Yall are folks who I have invited to come and love and help the healing process. If, perchance, you of your own accord decide to offer prayer or begin a friendship with a woman then that's great- but its organic and its holy spirit and its your faith.
I would LOVE to offer pedicures or 'foot washing' to these ladies and massage.
That being said, I do need a few things if people are willing to help out:
1. Donate cut up tee shirts that can be used as prayer flags
2. Sharpies to write prayers on the flags
3. Cut flowers, rocks, or other nature items
4. Hemp twine
5. Light refreshments
6. Set up/ take down crew
7. Musician who can play guitar
8. Bubbles to blow and attract attention
9. Bowls for foot washing AKA pedicures
10. Epsom salts, essential oils
11. Chairs
12. A large bag of Sunflower bird seed to make the outline
13. Clothing pins
