February Meeting – Part 1
February 6 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Chiaki O’Brien, “Saori Weaving” Lecture I by Zoom
“What is SAORI?” —How SAORI was founded by the founder Misao Jo and four SAORI philosophies.
- Consider the differences between a machine and a human being.
- Be bold and adventurous.
- Look out through eyes that shine.
- Inspire one another and everyone in the community.
SAORI is not all about techniques, it’s all about your “LIFE.” Show the world that you’re unique and different. That’s okay! That’s why it’s more interesting! “SA” of SAORI has the same meaning as the first syllable of the word “SAI” which is found in Zen vocabulary. It means everything has its own individual dignity. And the “ORI” means weaving.
