The beauty of a Kaleidoscope comes from the ever-changing sequence of diverse and complex patterns created by multiple individual elements that reflect their piece of the full beauty in relation to each other. But, you can only see this beauty if you invest in holding it up to the light and looking inside with great focus. It is only by shining light on the unique individual shapes, and how they connect to one another as a whole, that you can truly experience the beauty of the dancing and reeling colors and shapes to full effect. These connections and reflections have inspired the name of ECPG’s newest live streaming program.
