Help Support SevenDays by Making Ripples of Kindness

Posted on by

April 5-16, 2023

Join Lama Matt and other Rime Sangha members as we participate in this year’s SevenDays events. SevenDays provides opportunities to encourage all people to increase kindness through knowledge, mindset, and behaviors. They accomplish this with their SevenDays® themed experiences held in April 2023. The events kick off with the SevenDays® Kindness Breakfast. Then each day, a new theme will help us to practice kindness with the hope to promote understanding so we can Make a Ripple to Change the World. The events end with year’s SevenDays® 2023: Kindness Walk.

Following the April 13, 2014 tragedy at the Jewish Community Campus and Village Shalom in Overland Park, Kansas, a group of caring individuals decided that we, as a community, have the power to outshine and overcome such senseless acts of hate. SevenDays is a challenge for young and old, to embrace diversity across races, religions and cultures. Read more.
