Posted

CANTON – The Unitarian Universalist Church of Canton serving the North Country community will co-host a Japanese Zen Garden Tour on Thursday, Oct. 10, 1-2:30 p.m. in the Sykes Courtyard at St. Lawrence University.

Registration suggested: https://forms.gle/KFS9f2S8nzSxc6SB9 .

The North Country Japanese Zen Garden was constructed in 2008 after a study-trip by students and faculty to Kyoto, Japan.

The second half of the tour is a hands-on activity where participants will make their own ema or votive tablet which they can leave in the garden to elicit good luck.

Led by Mark MacWilliams, St. Lawrence University Professor Religious Studies and Co-Director of the North Country Japanese Garden.

Meet at 12:50 p.m. at the flagpole outside the Sykes Courtyard.

Free and open to all, a voluntary contribution of $5 is suggested to pay for votive prayer tablets.
