Discover the Power of your Mandala

Mandalas are symbols which you create through direct experience with your intuition. They can be used as a tool for understanding hidden aspects of yourself- your strengths, your recurring ‘patterns’ and mental blocks, as well as bringing focus and awareness to your inner ‘knowing’.
The Mandala process does not come out of our rational mind. The less we ‘think’ the easier the process becomes.

This workshop will introduce you to the Mandala, and through it, to the mystery of the Soul and Inner Guidance. It offers a supportive initiation to all participants, regardless of experience using this medium, to open to their natural creativity through art, meditation, music and ritual.

In this workshop the medium is Visual Arts- you will be creating Mandalas on paper, using paints, pastels etc.
