As we look at the world around us, there is violence, fear, and division. Yet, we must never tire of seeking peace. We must be keepers of hope! We invite you to “Interfaith Weaving Prayers of Peace” on Wednesday, February 21^st from 5:15-7pm. This event is hosted by the Graduate Theological Union’s Creatives’ Cove, supported by the Center for the Arts & Religion, and will be held at the Doug Adams Gallery (the Hewlett Building, second floor, 2400 Ridge Road, Berkeley, CA).

No experience is necessary! Bring a quote from your sacred text/tradition that inspires you to seek peace. Materials will be provided, and we also invite you to bring something to add, if possible (yarn or any type of washed fabric like an old t-shirt, scarf, etc.). Once our tapestry is complete, it will travel to different sacred spaces as a symbol of our connectedness and to foster continued prayer. The tapestry will travel for approximately eight weeks. On May 1, 2024, we will gather once more to share stories of our experiences with the woven textile in our sacred spaces.

May we come together as various faith communities around a common project to “weave peace.”
