Join us on April 6 as we highlight our heritage breed sheep. We’ll learn about natural fibers such as wool, flax, and hemp as we explore the ways in which these fibers have been used throughout history as well as how they’re used today. Plus, we’ll be hosting fiber artists, vendors, and shepherds on this special day as we conclude Wool Week here at the Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia. Fiber Fest vendors and presenters will offer information on historical fiber processing as well as workshops and demonstrations. Museum staff will also share activities focusing on fiber arts all across the Museum. We hope you’ll join us on April 6!

That is merely a reflection ofour own minds. Reconciliation requires an individual fearlessness to movebeyond the story in order to create a new reality. The Buddha would oftenshare stories with his closest disciples beginning with “When I was just anunenlightened Bodhisattva….”This tells us two things: 1) we can aspire to be a bodhisattva even withwhatever feelings we are experiencing right now, and 2) that we cultivateourselves by saving others.This is our true practice. What do you do when the life rafts are burning?Venerable Pannavati BioVenerable Pannavati, Maha Theri is a former Christian pastor, uniquelyordained in both Theravada and Mahayana traditions.
