The lotus flower is one of the most important symbols in Korean culture. Ubiquitous in Korean Buddhist temples and art, the flower, which grows in muddy water, represents the pure spiritual self that is unsullied by the “mud” of the world. As part of its celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage month, the Guerneville Regional Library in Guerneville will be holding a multi-generational Korean Culture and Lotus Lantern Workshop. Participants will learn how to make a lotus lantern from paper and wire, and they’ll also watch the short film Korea Today. The event will be held on February 11, 2–3:30 p.m. Registration is required: tinyurl.com/465ddk49. See the film’s trailer here: tinyurl.com/y7yu4xzk.
