By the time the second week of spring break comes around parents and children might be searching for a little quiet time.
The Immigrant and Multicultural Services Society presents Celebrating Peace with Meditation on Wednesday at 10:30 a.m.
"Sarah Dowling is a meditation instructor in town and she's agreed to come and present this awesome service to us," said Maria Rossi, project coordinator for the anti-racism education campaign for IMSS.
During this interactive meditation session, there will be relaxing art activities offered as well.
The inspiration behind the event is a quote from the Dalai Lama that said "if every eight year old in the world is taught meditation, we will eliminate violence from the world within one generation."
"This quote has really stayed with me since I read it and it's so powerful," said Rossi.
"I thought Celebrating Peace with Meditation is the perfect way to reach out to the community for the anti racism campaign that I'm doing."
Everyone of all ages is welcome to attend this free event and refreshments will be provided.
Anyone wishing to attend is asked to RSVP to Rossi by emailing [email protected] or calling 250-562-2900.
