To launch Tools for Schools, four Bay-Area schools will create a Community Sand Mandala along side Tibetan Lamas who will create a traditional Sand Mandala at Grace Cathedral. This week-long creative collaboration will follow a two-week, in-class Tools for Peace workshop at each of the four schools.
Participating schools:
• Northern Light, Oakland
