Join Sophie Sarkar, artist and author of Mixed Rice! Sophie will read from her book and lead a rice meditation as a way of exploring mindfulness. Mixed Rice delves into the dynamics of a multiethnic Asian family and their daily debate over which type of rice to cook for dinner. The story captures the complexity and richness of multicultural family life, and offers practical insights into mindful communication and conflict resolution, inspired by the teachings of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.
