A Sizdah Bedar Ritual Paper Pulp Gathering
Facilitated by Maya — Artist & Reiki Master
On Sizdah Bedar, the sacred 13th day of Nowruz, a day of release and return to nature, we gather to transform what we carry into hope.
Working with paper pulp,  a material that once stood rooted as a tree, we shape it with intention. What once grew from the earth returns to life in our hands, transformed through presence and care.
Each participant will create an 8×8 inch wall artwork inspired by ancient Persian symbols , a personal expression of peace, truth, renewal, and collective healing.
This gathering offers a supportive and grounded space to soften, to release, and to begin again, in connection with yourself, with community, and with the Earth.
✺ What We’ll Experience
• A reflection on the meaning of Sizdah Bedar and its tradition of release
• Gentle intention-setting for the new year
• Creation of your own 8×8 textured wall piece using recycled paper pulp
• An optional symbolic release ritual
• A closing circle to honor our shared intentions
No prior experience is needed. All materials are provided.
