Transformation? Or...
“Oh, my!” a participant exclaimed, as tears streamed down her cheeks. She had just wrapped a piece of paper around a lighted cylinder and noted its miraculous transformation. “I too want to be transformed by the light within me,” she said softly.
...Inflection Point?
Indeed, our in-person or online workshops can be transformative. But, if it’s simply a positive inflection point in each participant’s life, that’s also great! Never underestimate the power of multiple positive inflection points, because that’s how societies transform for the better.
Why Lamps?
Each lamp mirrors the first divine words in the Bible: “Let there be light!” Light is such a powerful symbol in many cultures and each beautiful handmade paper lamp serves as a unique expression of each creator’s intention to bring more light to the world.
It’s All About Light
We encourage our participants to define light for themselves by considering the following questions: What is your light? How can you nurture and share it with the world? What does it mean to put light into the world?
