SUMMARY:Emerald Hills Institute takes part in Stitching Hearts Worldwide
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis week we are spotlighting our incredible friend from Turkey\, Zeynep Kariparduc. Zeynep centers her entire life and career around serving others. Through her nonprofit organization\, Emerald Hills Institute\, she has been able to improve her own community and provide others with resources to do the same. With that\, she has sponsored Stitching Hearts for a number of years and has lovingly worked with us on a variety of projects. \nFor example\, we sent quilts and other needed materials to Turkey where much of her family still lives. When Project Protect began a few months ago\, Zeynep jumped right in to help sewing. She even picked up masks for us and took them all the way to Wee Care Pediatrics in Ogden! Zeynep\, thank you for your beautiful smile\, service\, and love. Keep doing incredible things! \nSource: https://www.facebook.com/SHeartsW \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Overview of Art Workshop Series - Stained Glass
DESCRIPTION:  \nEmerald Hills Institute hosted a nine-week workshop teaching participants Vitray\, or Turkish Stained Glass. \nThis workshop\, made possible by a grant from the Utah Division of Art and Museums\, guided attendees through the history\, design\, and techniques of a centuries-old tradition. Stained glass for Western audiences usually means churches and pictures of saints or Bible stories\, and most Westerners are unfamiliar with the presence of stained glass in more Eastern parts of the world. \nDue to its ideal location at the crossroads of East and West – Istanbul is the only National Capital built on two continents – Turkey is amazingly fertile for artists and craftspeople in all media. This unique environment brings all sorts of historical traditions and techniques together\, creating new hybrids as different people “cross-pollinate” their ideas. \n\nEmerald Hills Institute Program Manager\, Zeynep Kariparduc\, worked with Emerald Hills Institute Artist in Residence\, Andrew Kosorok\, to develop a series of workshop sessions as an introduction to Vitray or Turkish Stained Glass through design and the construction of multiple projects. With the guidance of Jean Irwin\, Arts Education Manager for the Utah Division of Art and Museums\, Emerald Hills Institute also ensured each teacher attending qualified for USBE continuing education credits. \nThe Vitray projects built included a 3D mosaic lamp having its roots in mosque lamps used throughout historical Turkey\, as well as a stained glass window using traditional Vitray floral design. \nIn addition\, we learned traditional Turkish floral and geometric design and tessellation\, the modern “language of flowers”  and its roots in Turkish floriography and Ottoman court intrigue\, traditional use of color\, historical and traditional contexts for Ottoman design\, the history of Turkish glass making\, and techniques of both traditional and contemporary Vitray construction. \nWe cut glass\, ground glass\, glued mosaic glass and grouted\, foiled\, soldered\, and applied patina to our windows to give them the finishing touch. These beautiful projects which will be used and loved for years to come. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Being Benevolent Seminar
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, September 7\, from 1:00pm to 3:00pm the Emerald Hills Institute hosted our Women’s Interfaith Gathering. Zeynep Kariparduc was our host and taught us about the purpose of the Emerald Hills Institute – a place that focuses on inclusion\, love and dialogue to grow together as friends. \nKimberly Giles\, a life coach\, founder of ClarityPoint International and 12 SHAPES inc\, and named one of America’s Top 20 advice gurus in 2010 by Good Morning America\, with over 450 articles published in newspapers and magazines across the world\, and a member of the exclusive Forbes Coaches Council\, taught us to understand ourselves and others around us in a new\, inclusive\, honoring\, and welcoming way. \n \nSome tips from Kimberly Gile’s presentation – \n· It is hard to have safe relationships if you subconsciously see everyone outside your groups as worse than\, bad\, or wrong. \n· How do you have safer\, less threatening relationships with people who have different religious beliefs? The answer lies in removing fear and focusing on love. \n· The faith a person believes in is what feels like truth to them – learn from each other. Focus on what unites us. \n· Differences are powerful teachers to show us the limits of our love. Each experience is a classroom for learning\, valuing and loving each other. \n· Don’t judge or label – see each person as an individual not a member of a group. \n· Each person is unique\, just like a diamond is unique. The more unique the diamond\, the more valuable it is. We need to value people in this way. \n \n· Human value is unchangeable\, infinite\, priceless\, and absolute – You are always good enough and have the same value as everyone else. \n25 people attended including Emma E Houston\, over Diversity and Inclusion from the Salt Lake City Mayor’s office\, and Wendy Stovall of the Salt Lake Interfaith Roundtable attended. \nWe had a great time talking\, learning\, getting to know each other\, and eating delicious treats brought by attendees and the Emerald Hills Institute. \nKimberly Gile’s articles come out every Monday and can be found on KSL.com and at CoachKimGiles.com. She also has 2 podcasts — Help On The Way Christian podcast and Explain People a 12 Shapes production. Her books can be found on Amazon.com: The People Guidebook for Great Relationships: The 12 Shape System and Choosing Clarity: The Path to Fearlessness. \n   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:EHI volunteer Hulya Kablan teaches Water Marbling at the Art Express
DESCRIPTION: \nThe 2019 conference hosted three keynote speakers—Katie Dawson\, Antonio Sacre\, and Mickey Rowe—and more than fifty breakout sessions with topics ranging from Japanese Bunraku puppetry to Turkish marble painting. This year’s conference focused on creating inclusive environments for those with culturally diverse backgrounds and disabilities as well as helping students express themselves through storytelling and theater.\n \nTeachers explored artistic voice by actively participating in sessions\, dancing like clouds\, constructing masks inspired by ancient works\, or creating Turkish marble paintings. “I think that is the best way to learn\, to get up and actually experience something in practice\,” said keynote speaker Katie Dawson. “If we are trying to transform the way teachers teach and learn in the arts\, we need to be in a place like [Arts Express] where we are actually doing that work\, feeling it in our bodies\, ideating with each other\, and asking critical questions.” Please visit https://education.byu.edu/news/arts-express-inspires-teachers-to-integrate-global-art-forms-in-classroom-lessons to learn more.\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Emerald Hills Institute Grand Opening Dinner
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n \n  \nAugust 12\, 2019 marked the Grand Opening of the new home of Emerald Hills Institute with the 4th annual Encouraging Women in Our Society Awards. The Honorable Cherie Wood\, Mayor of South Salt Lake\, and  Karen Hale of Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson’s office\, were in attendance\, along with many other luminaries including Emma Houston and Pamela Atkinson. The two MC’s\, (Venezualian and Bosnian)\, were enthusiastic and kept the energy going all evening. \nThe annual Encouraging Women in Our Society Awards is a program initiated by Emerald Hills Institute to recognize the truly remarkable women who make the Utah community remarkable. This year’s recipients were Josie Stone\, Chair of the Salt Lake Interfaith Roundtable\, Dr. Katherine St. John\, President of the Utah Chapter of the UN\, and Kimberly Ishoy\, a triathlon athlete and interfaith advocate in Daybreak. \nEach of these women contribute profoundly to the strength of their own communities\, as well as Utah as a whole. Tirelessly volunteering in addition to full time careers\, they have raised the bar for what it means to contribute to society\, and are inspirations to countless young women who will be the leaders of tomorrow. \nThe remarkable Pamela Atkinson\, advocate and friend to our homeless friends of Utah\, spoke to the importance of organizations like Emerald Hills Institute and the Awards. “Community is made up of two words\, ‘commune’ and ‘unity’. As we seek to understand each other through sincere\, heartfelt communication\, we build our togetherness as a community.” She pointed to the members of the gathering\, a rich tapestry drawn from every segment of Utah’s diverse population. “Differences of color\, language\, and religion are never a barrier to true friendship” she pointed out\, but when these differences come together they give us the opportunity to strengthen our society. \nEmerald Hills Institute is built on the premise that service united in a worthwhile cause is the best way to build a better future\, and the Encouraging Women in Our Society Awards is one of the very best ways to empower neighbors and young people in making that better future a reality. \nIt was a wonderful event\, a terrific dinner\, and a great way to introduce the new Emerald Hills Institute location. \n\n\n\n		\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n	\n	\n\n	\n		\n		\n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Emerald Hills Institute Annual Interfaith Iftar Dinner of 2019
DESCRIPTION:On May 16th\, Emerald Hills Institute hosted a community Iftar for friends and their families\, open to our neighbors from all walks of life. Our keynote speakers were Emma Houston from the Salt Lake Mayor’s office\, and Father Elias of the Greek Orthodox community. Emma Houston is Salt Lake County’s Director of Diversity and Inclusion. She is an experienced community volunteer\, and spends her time teaching people how to bring out the best of what makes each of us unique. Father Elias Koucos\, shepherd of the Greek Orthodox community in Salt Lake and a founding member and past chair of the Salt Lake Interfaith Roundtable\, spoke about gratitude and peace-building in community. \nAlthough they did not plan it\, these two speakers shared beautiful messages of hope and inspiration which perfectly complimented each other – Director Houston’s from a practical and secular viewpoint\, and Father Elias’ from a vantage-point of faith. It was striking how each gave examples of the ways everyone\, regardless of background or beliefs\, can apply Ramadan principles of compassion and gratitude to build their own network of peace. A short video explaining Ramadan was shown – this was particularly helpful for a number of attendees not necessarily familiar with this particular holiday\, but excited to celebrate with their Muslim friends. Ramadan is a 29 to 30 day celebration of the revelation of the Qur’an to the Prophet Mohammad\, when faithful Muslims around the world fast during the daylight hours and enjoy the company of family and friends during the night. \n  \n \n  \nThe fasting helps us to be extra mindful of the blessings we may take for granted every other time of the year\, and also helps us to focus our hearts on those around the world who may not be experiencing our same good fortune. This is a time of charity and sharing with everyone painfully familiar with the pangs of hunger\, as well as a personal dedication to do what we can to make the world a friendlier place for everyone. The food was wonderful\, the conversation was happy and energetic\, and it was exciting to see so many people make new friends! At each table strangers quickly went from being awkwardly polite to sharing their favorite jokes\, and mutual kindness paved the way towards newfound respect. \nAs always\, the Emerald Hills kitchen team did an amazing job – the traditional Turkish flavors disappeared very\, very quickly\, and everyone came away with full bellies and contented spirits. \nOriginal Page \nAs we reached our maximum capacity for this event\, we cannot accept any more RVSPs to this event.

SUMMARY:Abstract Watercolor Painting Techniques
DESCRIPTION:  \nWatercolor painting is a distinctive medium\, straddling the worlds of painting and drawing to create a unique art form. Paints are made of pigments suspended in a water-soluble medium and can be applied to everything from paper to canvas\, and from wood to fabrics. What makes watercolor painting so unique is its unforgiving nature;lines\, colors\, and forms must be applied perfectly the first time around\, as an attempt to paint over simply renders the entire effect muddied. \nEmerald Hills Institute held this unique art class taught by East High School art teacher Jennifer McCoy. While learning abstract art techniques \, attendees created new conversations and made new friends. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n		\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n				\n				        \n            \n                \n            \n        \n							 \n			\n	\n	\n\n	\n		\n		\n\n\n\n\n
