The mandala is a sacred circle representing the totality of all existing things - both the microcosm and macrocosm. It is often used in meditative processes to help overcome human suffering and promote planetary healing. For more information on traditional mandalas: History of the Mandala
 
 

Our Mandala Classes

Through the use of art, meditation and movement, our mandala classes aid in transformation and the discovery of our divine nature. Every session begins with the group taking a moment to create a sacred space and set positive intentions.

Participants will learn a brief history of the mandala and its use in various cultures. Through meditation and intention, they will intuitively receive and illuminate sacred symbols for healing and self-realization. Using QiGong (Chi Kung) breathing and stretching exercises, they will develop body awareness and the ability to enhance and direct their energies toward healing and creativity. 

All participants, regardless of artistic ability or experience, will create a variety of luminous mandalas using colored pencils, black paper and other simple materials. We provide a joyous and non-competitive class, free from ego and fear. Sessions may also include chakra healing with color, light and sound; the construction of a group sand mandala; or a burning ritual to facilitate the letting go of old, painful memories.
