A group of six Tibetan monks and their driver is due to arrive in the Oxford community on Wednesday evening, February 18 and plans are underway to host them and help them raise needed funds for exiled monks who are in a Monastery in South India.


 The monks will be teaching workshops at the Power House on University Avenue in Oxford on Thursday and Friday, February 19 and 20.  

Thursday, February 19:
9:30-11:30  Butter Sculpture Workshop (Adults)
1:30-3:00    Simple Butter Sculpture Workshop (Children)
3:30-4:30  Tibetan Designs Workshop  (Children)

Friday, February 20:
9:30-11:30  Sand Painting Workshop (Adults)
1:30-3:00  Simple Butter Workshop  (Children)
3:30-4:30  Tibetan Designs Workshop (Children)

Reservations will need to be made as space is limited.  Please email Sandra Moss at uucostaffer@gmail.com to make reservations.

The monks also would like to cook a dinner of “Tibetan Cuisine” for the community one of the evenings.  We are searching for a facility with a kitchen and fellowship hall to accommodate this.  Reservations will be taken after this event is finalized.  

We are hoping that the monks will also build a small mandala and that they will have a slide show playing, so that the
general public can drop in to visit anytime during the two days.  There is also a cultural pageant in the planning stages.  More to come on this.

The main purpose of the visit is for the monks to raise money for the exiled monks in India. At each workshop they would like to raise approximately $200.00. Donations would be for those participants who are unable to pay themselves. Also, we will need resources to purchase the food for the Tibetan Cuisine and they would like this to be their best fund-raising event. Any donations received will lower the cost of admission tickets to this event.

So please do consider providing a monetary donation to the Unitarian Unitarian Congregation of Oxford, prior to their visit. Be sure to note in the memo line at the bottom of your check that the donation is towards the Tibetan Monk workshops and dinner.

On Sunday, the 22nd of February, the monks will be a part of our Sunday Service. After the service, we hope to host one of our special UU potluck luncheons. It would be our Farewell Reception to the monks, as they will leave February 23. We would love for the entire congregation to participate in this!
