Make your own Prayer Flags to be displayed at Drums in the Park. Prayer flags originate from Nepal and the Tibetan mountains where they are traditionally a symbol of healing. It is believed that when the wind blows past the flags, it takes the prayers, wishes and good intentions with it, dispersing them across the vast world. In this way, they are thought to benefit all people.

Click the flier to read the instructions. Prayer flags can be made and dropped off at the Chamber office.
