The mandala, Sanskrit for "circle of essence," has been used historically in various cultures as an aid to meditation, prayer, and journeying within. The empowering act of creating mandalas will support you to heal, open your heart, manifest and awaken to your Divine self. Through meditation and the holding of intentions, we will intuitively receive and illuminate sacred symbols. Using simple Chi Kung movements and principles we will develop body awareness to enhance and direct our energies. All participants, regardless of artistic ability, will create luminous mandalas. This joyous and non-competitive workshop will include the creation of a communal sand mandala, a releasing burning ritual, and periods of silence.
