The Burden Boat Project Ceremony, Sunday Oct. 4th at 2:30 pm
To Participate in the Burden Boat Project:
Simply write on a quarter sheet of paper the burdens you would like to let go of. Either send the burdens to the Burden Boat Project at the address below or come by the show and place a burden in the boat yourself. With every burden released a sunflower seed will be planted in Virginia Tech’s memorial garden. All burdens will remain anonymous and they will be ceremoniously burned on October 4th at 3:33 pm eastern standard time.
By placing our burdens together and releasing them together we come to the realization we are all in the same boat together. As we release our individual burdens we clear the path for working together to grow together and to heal our collective planetary burdens.
Send burdens to:
Burden Boat Project.

You better not let the Mayor and the City Council see these pictures -- this is the kind of stuff they'd pay high-dollar for!
