Join us this Thursday from 4-6PM to play Tricky Ways free of charge! Watch the event video for full details (link above).
ABOUT THE GAME
Tricky Ways is a unique, kinetic strategy game for 2-4 players. The game itself consists of blocks with holes and channels that can be linked to form pathways for a marble to roll. The objective is to create the longest pathways to the outer edge of the board by rearranging a limited number of blocks on your turn. The longer the path, the more your player piece advances around the board, with the winner having had their piece cover the most distance.
Take some time to remember what it means to quiet down through short meditations, story and discussion, mindful crafts and activities, and make your own mini-pizza! We will be making origami to show support for immigrant parents and children imprisoned on the US Border. These will be sent to Rev. Duncan Williams, who organizes and attends protests, taking origami peace cranes with him to show support and give hope. Please join us for a day of mindfulness for the whole family. RSVP or questions: 828-645\2085 or teijo(at)greattreetemple.org.
