Sacred Symbols

One of our most popular offerings, Sacred Symbols is a visually stunning presentation of world religion symbols that lets you learn about religious traditions through their symbols, statues, clothing, prayer items and instruments.

Learning the stories and symbolism behind dozens of authentic ritual items and icons gives a more genuine feel and texture to these diverse traditions.

• Explaining the meaning and use of Buddhist and Hindu statues
• Listening to musical instruments such as the Jewish shofar and Buddhist singing bowls
• Having volunteers wear religious clothing such as a Buddhist monk’s robes or an Islamic hijab
• Seeing how a Sikh turban is wound

Sacred Symbols is an effective introduction to World Religions on its own, or it makes an excellent complement to a more in-depth course. The presentation can be compressed to fit into a one hour class or extended to fill a week of classes by adding more context and history.

It has been presented, to rave reviews, at universities, faith groups, schools, hospitals, conferences, and many other places.
